Who watches "The Watchmen" answered!

or



What did I come to see again??



Since I'm a time traveller, I went back two weeks and finally saw "The Watchmen". The best part of the movie was that I answered the question, "Who watches the Watchmen?" The answer is geeks...lots of geeks (well 10, approximately). Granted, I saw the movie at noon on a Monday, but still there were exactly 10 guys, by themselves, perfectly spaced out so they wouldn't have to talk to each other. And yes, I know that makes me a geek too. Takes one to know one.

Apparently, the marketing people know who goes to see these movies too. The trailers were just a giant nerd orgy. Star Trek Origins looks great, thank you J.J. Abrams. Though Sylar playing Spock makes me a bit leery. Then it was X-men Origins. Not a huge fan of the last two X-men movies or Liev Schreiber (he's going to take on Wolverine...come on!?) but it does look good.


Next up was The Terminator Salvation. Man, can Christian Bale be any hotter right now? (Said in a totally hetero way...) He is in everything. You can't be Batman, Pablo Escobar, John Conner and Jack Kelly... save some roles for the rest of the guys. When I was in 1992 everyone in "The Player" says "We'll get Bruce Willis for the lead!" Then Brad Pitt was Bruce, then Colin Farrel was Bruce, then they wanted Shia LaBeouf to be Bruce.


Anyway... I thought the movie was great! I loved Rorschach, he was perfect. The guy looked just like him and "the Batman" voice was great! I am not sure if they decided to hire actors just based on them looking like the characters in the book, or not, but they were uncanny.


Well... I think that's enough about the movie.

Have a nice day!!
