...and I'll look down and whisper, no.

So I finished reading 'The Watchmen' recently and I was blown away. It was visually stunning and vibrant, yet so dark and true to reality. I urge anyone and everyone to get out and read it. Even if you aren't a "comic book geek" or nerd, get your hands on a copy and read it. It's quite possibly the greatest piece of fiction I've ever read and I am so excited for the movie. Hearing what Kevin Smith had to say about it makes me want to see it even more. He said something to the extent of think back to the excitement of seeing Sin City from a book to movie perspective and multiply that. Sin City was a beautiful adaptation as well and I have the utmost respect for Robert Rodriguez for staying true to Frank Miller. How Zack Snyder portrayed Miller's '300' is also very fulfilling, so I'm sure that paying extremely close attention to detail was a priority for him in making Watchmen.
The trailer was amazing especially with the music selection. Honestly, that song makes the trailer even more dark yet eerily peaceful knowing the coincidental significance of the title of the song...
'The Beginning is the End is the Beginning' by the Smashing Pumpkins (Yes previously released on the filth that was called Batman and Robin). It just pulls together the whole anti-hero theme to the book.
One piece of the book that I found so amazingly well written lies within the last piece of Chapter IV: "'Dr. Manhattan: Super-Powers and the Superpowers' By Professor Milton Glass". The first three paragraphs are quite possibly some of the most beautifully well written political/war related literature I've ever read in fiction. It almost seems if he was relating to the world as it in is reality and not in the reality he writes about... ;)
Do yourself a favor and read the book. You won't regret it...


...but if you do, you might as well burn your entire library because your taste and opinions in literature or media in general is automatically null and void...kinda like if you claim to be a music fan and argue that the Jonas Brothers are anything more than dollar signs in the eyes of their creators and the writers behind their "music". :P
