Who Watches the Watchmen?

Well as of tomorrow, the 21st of July, the DVD of Watchmen will be out at retailers across the country.

Are any of you buying it? I have my copy preordered from Wal-Mart.com (where I got 53% off of the price simply BECAUSE I was ordering it online) and it should be in anywhere between the 24th and 28th.

Many people complained about Zach Snyder taking out the giant squid for the ending. Personally that was my most HATED part of the graphic novel: it was equal parts inane and unrealistic in a comic book that had, up until that point, been believable. Snyder's solution and ending was much more solid and believeable in the Watchmen verse and I thought it fit better with Dr. Manhattan and his leaving of Earth.

But enough about my views on the movie, I thought it was the most faithful comic adaption ever filmed, and though many viewers just didn't "get it" as they were expecting more "emo Spiderman jazz numbers" and family friendly fun...I did enjoy the film and the performances from the actors; especially Jackie Earle Haley as Rorschach.

If any of you are planning on buying the film in any of it's varying release formats, post here and say why you're buying what you're buying.

I'm getting the 2-Disc Directors Cut of the film on DVD since I don't own a Blu-Ray player of ANY type. I can't WAIT until it comes it! :D

Gyt's Anime and More

I'm the top Mod for my boyfriend and I's message board. We talk about everything from sports to tech to movies to cartoons and politics.

Here's a message from my boyfriend Gyt concerning the board:

Basically, this is a call for all who wish to join to do so, because I really do think it's a fun little board. Just like the title says, you can talk about anything there pretty much. Anime, Manga, Movies,TV Shows, Video Games, News, Comics, Novels, Sports, and Music. There's even a place to post fan fiction and fan art, as well as a few RP sub-boards (and an Adults only section...though you have to be 18 to get the password!).

So yeah, feel free to give us a look-see, you might like what you find. And if you don't feel like joining quite yet, feel free to lurk around and see what it's like, or talk in the nifty Non-Members Area I have set up. Hope to see you there. ^_^


So feel free to join if you like, we always welcome new members.

Sorry for the lack of updates and stuff...

Well all, it's been what...2 years since I've posted to this blog?

*laughs*

Well, real life and college hit me. Yes, I was in college well before I started my blog but that's still no excuse. The truth is I was so busy with college that I practically forgot about this place, though I never really forgot about it, and so I abandoned my blog to work on getting my Associate of Arts degree from Ozarka College in Arkansas.

I'm happy to report that I did in fact graduate from Ozarka with my AA degree and I'm now going to LYON College in Batesville, AR to get my Bachelor's Degree in English.

A lot of stuff has happened while ol' Alc's been away...a new president, a ton of new anime and manga, and all hell breaking loose in the Naruto fandom with Kishimoto's new story plots (but that's another post entirely)!

I hope to restart this blog back up and running (with sparse but continuing updates) as I finished my Bachelor's degree here at LYON. I hope that everyone will stick with me through everything and feel free to chime in with any comments, criticisms, or critiques that you have. Hell, even just random chatter will be fine! ^-^
