I had to watch one of the most intelligent and funniest people I've ever know slowly waste away, unable to take care of himself in the most basic of ways. "Knowing" is a great name. I'm sure Jamie will come up with something great.<br /><br />But, back to "Watchmen." I think it'll be a cult classic that like "Blade Runner" (not that I'm saying "Watchmen is as good.) I just think it's an enormously underrated movie.<br /><br />Just my opinion and I could be wrong,<br /><br />DougDoug Barrynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2298870015314386479.post-20433336154684234322009-08-05T14:34:42.044+02:002009-08-05T14:34:42.044+02:00I haven't read your blog in a while, Jamie. I...I haven't read your blog in a while, Jamie. I find it an interesting coincidence that when I checked it just now for the first time in a month or so, the first thing I see in this blog on the Watchmen and insomnia. I just got done writing a blog entry about these things myself.<br /><br />I haven't seen the movie yet, so I'm trying to avoid anything in the category of spoiler. Roger Ebert gave it a favorable review, however, and I find myself agreeing with him as much as 70% of the time.<br /><br />@ Kjetil: if you are having a hard time understanding this blog, you need to pick up the Watchmen graphic novel. Or at least issue #4. This blog entry is written in the style of Dr. Manhattan, whose nigh omnipresence allows him to see every moment of his life as it is happening (including future happenings).Mr. Fantastichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08236342863495691423noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2298870015314386479.post-47914865146354306132009-08-03T20:55:07.258+02:002009-08-03T20:55:07.258+02:00Saw it for the third time this weekend.

I have to say third time was the charm though, I "get it" and I think this film is a masterpiece. (the first time I saw it I left the theater thinking "meh")attoghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12106814552806346666noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2298870015314386479.post-32059833678207514892009-07-30T01:56:18.191+02:002009-07-30T01:56:18.191+02:00When you watched Watchmen, was it the the Director...When you watched <i>Watchmen</i>, was it the the Director's cut? I've seen both on sale now - and am not sure which to get? I liked it in the Theaters... I want a similar experience at home - but want to see what was missing...<br /><br />Book title - perhaps the stress of this is hanging on you - and that's messing up your sleep... <br /><br />You quoted Rorshack: <i>Never compromise. Not even in the face of Armageddon</i> - perhaps you can draw a title from that statement. I think of your writings - and how Marilyn encouraged you to continue living (well - not just living - but that she wanted you to continue to get joy out of life once she <i>knew</i>...)... again - maybe something else you can draw on for a title. Last thought on this - and from Doug's earlier comments - when somebody you know has a terminal diagnosis - you <b><i>KNOW</i></b>. This "Knowing..." totally changes your life. You have all the stages you go through dealing with death - as it's totally in your face. "Knowing..." might be too simple a book title... ... but again - maybe just some food for thought. (It seems you did not get many responses on this topic - so I thought I would chime in).<br /><br />I'm looking forward to reading the final product... and hope you're sleeping better.<br /><br />Regards,<br />~ DGDave G.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2298870015314386479.post-85486174373079933132009-07-29T17:29:37.956+02:002009-07-29T17:29:37.956+02:00Nice homage to Moore! :)
