Who watches the Watchmen??
Is anyone even reading this blog anymore?? Well, it's 43 degrees Farenheit and raining in the southland. We are getting the tail end of the storm which previously pelted the North East, though the incliment weather is expected to clear out by tomorrow (Sunday.)
Personally, I don't mind it so much. Sometimes on Saturdays I get the urge to go out, but on days like these, all I want to do is crawl under my comfortable covers, especially if I have something interesting to read.
I am still plugging along with my copy of Watchmen. I am not going to ilucidate on the merits of this graphic novel which have already been documented in various internet sites. It is widespreadly accepted as the best graphic novel ever made along with Frank Miller's Dark Knight Returns, but some of you already know that so instead I provide you with movie info from last xmas season. Apparently the movie version is still in limbo, but will keep an eye out for it in 2007.
Though I first encountered it 20 years ago in 1986 when it first came out, I was too young and unsophisticated to truly appreciate it then and am glad that now as an adult I can Marvel at its complex narrative and excellent artwork. Also, I was glad to get my used (but excellent copy) at half price at the collectible show I fruequent instead of the gouching prices at Barnes and Noble or Waldenbooks
All my X-Mas shopping is done, all that is left to do is to get a tree to stick all the presents under. Let the fatman fly!!!
