    We don't discuss our personal lives in the public comments section.

    But I'll have you know he and I are going to dress up for the premiere of Revenge of the Fallen. He's going to go as TFA Ratchet and I'm going to be G1 Frenzy. I've been working on the costumes for over a month already.

    You know... you could've just said

    'I really enjoyed the movie'

    Ebert: And my editor could have said, "I really enjoyed not paying you this week."

    You now how many boners I have for Ebert? This many!

    i just read that womans insane review. Decided to make a comment myself:
    Rorschach's Journal.
    March 5th, 2009.:

    Came across new website today. Crazy right wing woman decides to post insane ramblings for others to view. It's bad enough this city has to deal with scum on the streets every day. Now on the internet too. Writings suggest living in hysterical illusion. Possibly homosexual. Must remember to investigate further.

    The second vignette will feature Gene Shalit, Richard Roeper and Joel Siegel all dressed as Blitzwing triple-teaming Debbie Schlussel done up to look like Blackarachnia.

    Watchmen seems, dispite its outlandishness, to portrey superheroes in the most realistic light--that is, superheroes are a neurosis. Moore scrutinizes the disfunctions inherent with putting on a mask and harboring a messiah complex. Having not yet seen the film, I'm worried that it will capitalize on America's recent fetishism, and that Moore's scathing deconstruction of America's own neurosis--our predilection to worship our supermen and thereby disavow our own insecurities--will be swept under the flashy carpet. The film seems timely: superhero stories are being adapted every summer to create blockbusters, and maybe Snyder's adaptation will shed the proper, scrutinizing spotlight on our favorite summer fetish.

    Ebert: None of the Watchmen made me want to dress up like them--or in the case of Manhattan, to undress.

    Tee hee

    I saw it last night, and basic impressions are:

    it is an excellent adaptation from the book

    people who have not read the book will not like it

    there are some really lousy lousy lousy music choices (the version of Hallelujah they chose was fucking awful and it made the whole scene really campy and dumb, the other version would've been better)

    acting was good

    yup, I liked it

    uh viv

    I'm pretty sure that's the oldest version of Hallelujuah

    why do you think people who haven't read it won't like it
