Watchmen Reax
Rejoice, Eveölators! Her Tushness hath spoken on the Watchmen question. Many links, and a fair amount of negative analysis, can be found, but she (like me) felt an initial, visceral joy in the movie that she refuses to repudiate. Upon mature reflection, I agree with her complaint about the use of Mozart's Requiem and the Helicopter Ride of the Valkeries, and I would add the one-millionth appropriation of Phillip Glass to the list—so I guess the movie disappoints in my area of specialty. (That would be high-brow music, in case you couldn't tell). And, yes, the love scene was regrettable to say the least.
In a sort-of-related developement, I really enjoyed this 9-minute, 150-Euro movie my friend Jeremy told me about:
Here's the official website. (But how do I enter the site??? Apparently, you have to dig for the treasure.) Jeremy tells me the rumors of viral marketing have been denied, and with that, I have officially entered spreading-rumors-about-rumors territory.
Finally, moving from science fiction to science maybe-fact, we learn that cold fusion is back, baby!
