So, I'm
all set to catch an early screening of Watchmen
tomorrow, and I'd love to know if I can expect to be
impressed or disappointed. Anyone seen it? So
far the reviews I've read have all said that they need to
watch it at least once more. Surely it can't be that
thick.
At any rate, here's the news. Read on.
