Go See Watchmen

No kidding. I thought it was great.

Well, if you like to see super heroes that are maybe not so super (except one) and not always all that heroic. If you're a Superman fan, you're not gonna like it.

I read this graphic novel back when it first came out, what? Twenty years ago, or so? A friend had recommended it. It was the first comic I'd ever seen with red blood. (The comic code had prohibited it before. Before that time, blood on comic book pages was black.) It was the first comic I'd ever seen with sex in it. (I mean real comics, not those underground porn comics.)

So, I know the book has a huge cult following. But, honestly, I forgot about most of the plot. So this movie was pretty much new stuff to me when we saw it last night. And I liked it a lot.

So go see it.

Especially if you like seeing glowing blue peens.
