work today.  
Work was pretty good, actually; I like short shifts. It was busy. Just got in from Watchmen with [info]teacupscientist, which is a lot less depressing the second time around. Still have "Augustine" in my head, and have had all day since I got to cover Alan's lunch and play my own music on register.

Unfortunately I've passed the tiredness fulcrum, so I have no choice but to read or stare at the ceiling until I collapse. |D; [info]meatbamboo, I will be online as promised, I swear. Just.... later than I would have been.

[EDIT] I'm not sure if I've forgotten how this works or what, but you know what would be retarded and awesome? If Ulquiorra were Inoue Sora.

I DON'T EVEN KNOW.

I saw Watchmen!

It's very, very cool :)

And very thought-provoking.

I liked it ^__^ Lots :D

You know, enough people I respect appreciated this movie enough that I was considering actually seeing it.

Then i read this open letter from the screenwriter: http://www.watchmencomicmovie.com/031109-watchmen-movie-david-hayter-open-letter.php

"Trust me. You'll come back, eventually. Just like Sally."

WTF?
So now I know :
(1) the screenwriter is creepy and not real bright...and also not much of a writer.
(2) agreeing to see this movie twice is like volunteering to be assaulted

Well, yeah. I saw that letter, too. I think I got what the writer was intending, even if he didn't go about saying it in the best way - so yeah, I've gone to see this film multiple times because I approve of the strides it's made in not trying to make Watchmen into some piece of Hollywood bullshit, and it's pulled no punches in making sure its audience knows that life is messy and unfair and crappy like that sometimes.

And actually, I think if you watch this film critically, it's less like volunteering to be assaulted than many other films making use of the superhero genre. It's certainly more truthful, even if it doesn't go as far as it could have into ripping the wool away from people's eyes. And I admire it for that - as Hayter obviously did, even if he went about expressing it with a metaphor he should have wielded with a good deal more sensitivity.
