WatchMen – Full of Win? Or Full of Sin?

Well, I watched Watchmen last night. I sat through two hours of awesome special effects and nudity that some have said should give the movie an NC-17 rating. Was the nudity that bad? Well, not quite in my opinion. Awkward? Yes, just a tad. Dr. Manhattan sent surges off giggles through the theatre every time they showed his package. I haven’t read the graphic novel and don’t know if I will ever check it out, but I must say that I wish it could have been faster. Some have said that WatchMen was “made of win.” However, the movie failed to win me over completely. There were really cool scenes and there were scenes that seemed too long, reminding me of Lord of the Rings: Return of the King, where awkward glances between Frodo and Samwise seemed endless. I just wish the story could have been told faster. That’s one of my only gripes. A 90-minute movie would have sufficed and I don’t think I would have felt so robbed of my time. This movie is definitely will of win, but only to a certain extent. It’s better than Sin City for sure. If you didn’t like Sin City you probably won’t like this, however, I will say that WatchMen felt very comic book-like, as I believe it was supposed to. This movie had so much potential, too… Guess I’ll watch the X-Men trilogy to remind myself how awesome movies based on comics can be, even if the first X-Men movie wasn’t great.

Wow! Off the wagon, but trying!

Okay, so MAJA has been horrible during the holidays. Like, I don't
even wanna write this post. In other words, I fell off the wagon and
landed flat on my ass. I got sick the week before Xmas and didn't
start feeling better until my adventure to Las Vegas.

Once I got to Vegas I managed to work out once. Once! When it comes to
food intake, "forget about it!" LOL. But hey, I haven't given up. I am
making a mad dash toward the wagon that I rode religiously for 30 days
straight.

Tomorrow is the final day of celebrating. Thank god. I swear that the
road became rather bumpy as the holidays approached, until before I
knew it I was eating whatever I wanted and not attempting to work it
off.

I got a lot of cool stuff for Xmas. I have a TV for my PS3, season one
of Tsubasa, Pan's Labrynth, Bokusatsu Tenshi Dokuro-chan DVD, that new
Resident Evil movie on bluray, money, and that about sums it up. I
can't seem to stop buying stuff though. LOL.

That resident evil movie is dope! Valkyrie was dope too. I saw Gran
Turino and I don't know if I liked it as much as I liked Valkyrie.
Next on my list is Watchmen. That movie looks dope, along with the
Xmen Origins movie.

I plan on recording some video tomorrow as I ring in the new year.
