Watchmen quick thoughts
Saw a midnight showing of WATCHMEN. A few quick thoughts:
It is long. Therefore, I look forward to seeing it when it does not end at 3 am.
It's strange to watch. If for no other reason than it exists.
There are parts of it that I think are just friggin' awesome.
There are a few moments that are not awesome, but they don't really ruin the movie.
I like ambition and this thing is ambitious, so I'm down with that.
I can't wait to work my way through that inevitable four hour version that'll be out on DVD any time now.
It was great to see an actual, no bullshit, R-rated movie. I mean, seriously. It felt like I was up late watching Showtime in the mid-1980s.
I imagine a meeting with Billy Crudup and the special effects department. He asks "Could you make me look hung?" They assign someone to this job and, for this purpose, he is paid.
I think this movie will inspire a lot of debate among nerds like me.

This is so freakin' brilliant. I can't wait to see the movie. If only to know that finally there IS a Watchmen movie.
Nerd.
You know...'cause at 3am last night... I was, uh, watching football. With hookers.
Wow, I have been trying to sum up my feelings on Watchmen - in particular how I felt at 3am that morning. Great jorb there Freeman. Exactly!
