WatchMen With Large Blue Members

Stardate 04-01-2009
For weeks now my readership has been screaming at me, demanding to hear what the second smartest man in the world thought of Watchmen.
The answer should be obvious. Who wouldn't love a movie that has point blank murder of a pregnant woman, German Shepards who eat little girls, a man who gets his face burnt off by boiling french fry oil, hatchet chopping to the head and a giant blue penis. Of course I loved it.

I guess some might say that it was too graphic. My response to those people is that if you removed a couple of the F words, this thing probably would have gotten a PG-13 rating. In fact, Watchmen is rated PG-13 in Canada.

I really do think that Zac Snyder did an excellent job of bringing Watchmen to the big screen. The cutting back and forth from present day story to past back story was pretty seamless and the back stories added a ton to the film. I thought the acting was excellent, especially from Jackie Earle Haley (Rorschach) and Denny Duquette (The Comedian). It broke my heart to see the Denny Duquette that both I and Izzie Stevens love being such a terrible person in this movie.


Two thumbs up. I can't wait for the sequel.

Denny just had too big of a heart. In my mind it was better that Izzy did not have to witness his death.

I would give your Blog an american R rating. I had to turn off my "safesearch" just to read it.

I'm glad that your low standards enabled you to read my post. In the future, I will do my best to restore the scifinerdblog to its purity.

I have not been following Grey's for the past few seasons, but everytime I have seen a clip or a channel-flip-through Denny has been on.

He died. Why is he still on the show. It's annoying. He's dead.

Oh, and I will never see watchmen.

Cicely, you are correct, Denny is dead, but, because of his boundless love for Izzie, he was granted the opportunity to return to her as her guardian angel/angel of death to tell her that she would be joining him soon...in hell.

And you should see Watchmen, you would love it. Rent it and watch it with Miles when he turns 13.

One of the kid-friendly moments of the film is when the jail-thug gets his arms cut off by an angle grinder. I am going to see if Sam will let me take Claire to a matinee.
