Nerd Journal: Going to See "Watchmen"

That does it. I've been trying all morning to work on a paper, and I just can't focus. Footnotes, shmootnotes. I'm going to go see a matinee of "Watchmen."

This naturally makes me "probably a moron and a vapid, indecent human being" according to one Debbie Schlussel. But I think you all already knew that!

I'll be back with a movie review tomorrow maybe.

I'm expecting obscene amounts of violence, kowtowing to fanboys, great CGI, and inevitable comparisons to "The Dark Knight."

Also, a random thought: has Jeffrey Dean Morgan ever been in a role in which he isn't dead? Just askin'.

UPDATE:  Just got back.  First impressions include this thought:  could Dr. Manhattan PLEASE put on some pants?!?!?!?!
