Who Watches the Watchmen? We did!

Met up with Diana, Yi Fan &co at the movies today, brought Cassie and her friend Jess. It was good to see my old high school friends again! Watchmen was ~okay? I found myself completely unable to figure out how I would have reacted to it had any of the plot twists been surprising - since I knew all the answers the subtle hints hit me with the force of a sledgehammer. Of course, that should happen now when I reread the book, but somehow it doesn't, because I'm always finding new Awesome Things What Alan Moore Done in it. I can admire it stylistically which makes up for losing that first-time shock experience. The movie... it was well-shot, but not necessarily well-constructed.

Anyway, that's that. While waiting for people to show up I hung out in Comics Kingdom and bought a couple of 50c back issues of Formerly Known As The Justice League, which is hilaaaarious. Pity scans_daily died, huh? I should check out the new incarnation, wherever it's gone. Also on the way to the bus stop I ran into my cat's sparring partner - I'd recognise that ugly face anywhere. Looks like she got her own back, too, he had a big scratch on his nose.
