Yeah, I think at this point, Miller should just call his movie, ‘Girls I Dream About: The Spirit’ and it will be them just posing for him, um, I mean, the movie, in various states of undress.

Seriously, though, all these WATCHMEN posts have me wanting to reread the book itself again.

You know, it’s sort of a magical thing. One night I was living in DC and just suddenly felt like I had to read THE WATCHMEN there and then. I hadn’t read it before. So I went out to 2nd Story Books. It was evening. That was all that was open. A 2nd Hand bookstore. I started poking around this chaotic store. It wasn’t in the graphic novel section, but I knew it might be found somewhere else.

Randomly, in one of the bins meant for old prints for wall hanging, I found it. Lying atop the other stuff. It was just sitting there. Far away from where it should be and I happened to see it.

Needless to say, the cover price was too high and I waited to borrow it off my friend back on campus.

Just kidding. I bought it. It was good stuff. But I only read it the one time, and I believe I need to do so again. I’ll probably skip the birding essay this time, though.

Maybe we’ll finally get a collection if they can put “now a major motion picture!” on it.

I actually posted a scan of one of those panels Chuck mentions. I too thought it was an error at first, until I realized what they were going for.

Not a good strategy.

Did the George Clooney Batman teach them nothing?
