Went to see Watchmen with a bunch of people last night. Time for LJ-user sightings! There was ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
jteethy, karine, adamofeden, luvenditti, toughlovemuse, chibipunkdemon and Phil-who-hasn't-got-an-LJ. It was really nice seeing all my friends, many of whom I hadn't seen since Capricornucopia on January 10th. Eesh. Where does the time go?
The movie was fun, but suffered from inadequate writing, I think. It also ended about four times. Possibly five. It was very pretty, though some of the effects were... odd. I haven't read the graphic novel, but I understand that the movie modernized a bunch of things, and then lovingly re-created others the same way, which was jarring for me: some of the gizmos looked wildly out of place. The same went for the costumes.
( Mild plot spoilers behind the cut )
The movie was also horrifically violent. I think I may have damaged poor Phil's hearing permanently with my squeaks of horror. There's only so many instances of bones splintering through skin and the like that I can take. I mean, come on! It's not necessary to go into that much gory detail. I get it, already! Gah.
In short, it was entertaining, but had I known what it was I would have waited to see it on video.
Also, between the movie and moving the clocks forward, I only got three hours of sleep last night. I am now Cranky!Cat.
