Jesus H. Christ.

just when I thought watchmen couldn't get more awesome.




are you freaking kidding me? am I gonna watch this fucking movie? if this is another sick joke.....

holy crap, just look at the poster.



edward norman blake is beaten in his highrise new york apartment by and unknown attacker. his smiley face badge fasterned to his dressing gown is smeared with his own blood. the attacker throws blake through the window, he falls 15 stories and is almost liquidised on impact. the smiley badge lands in a gutter, the stain blake's dried blood.

to call the book a milestone is an under statment. one of the most complex, intruging and well written novels of all time, Watchmen was the only graphic novel to appear on time's 2005 list of "the 100 best English-language novels from 1923 to the present". Time critic Lev Grossman described the story was "a heart-pounding, heartbreaking read and a watershed in the evolution of a young medium." In 2008, entertainment weekly placed it at number 13 on its list of the best 50 novels printed in the last 25 years, describing it as "The greatest superhero story ever told and proof that comics are capable of smart, emotionally resonant narratives worthy of the label literature.

without watchmen, no dark knight, no heroes, no depth.

the blog will get better
