So, I usually shy away from movie reviews on the blog, but since I'm trying to do a post a day I've got to do something to fill the time. (The 40 days of blogging has yet to garner any response from any of the 3 readers, making me assume that the long hiatus has pushed them over to the empty promises of shamwow.com).
I dunno 'bout in Chicago, but here in La-La, Watchmen is being heavily pushed, almost like a summer blockbuster. It seems the whole town is interested in how this film will open (BIG) and if it will sustain anything.
Since I don't want to get into my own thoughts on the movie (which I "watched" tonight), I will defer to this review from the New York Daily News (or the Daily Snooze, to some Post-leaning Manhattanites), which pretty closely sums up my opinions on this, the first big movie of 2009.

- So, I started writing this little blog when I started classes at USC film school to keep up with all my friends and family back in the Midwest and explore the life of a Chicagoan living in L.A. I also started writing this b/c I've found that in order to succeed in this town you need a big ego, and I figure that nothing is more ego-building and narcissistic than blogging about myself on a regular basis.

sorry mark i see about 3 movies a year so forgive me for not commenting on your comments commenting on the new york review of that movie.
forecast for las vegas this saturday and sunday: 75 and sunny. bring your swim trunks. Also consider stretching out your right arm, as i hear they have beer pong at o'shea's casino.
going to see watchmen at navy pier this week. i'll let you know my thoughts. USA vs. Venezuela tonight on ESPN. mannywood?.....i spit at the thought of that.
the thing is with Manny is that LA is a perfect fit for him. People out here aren't die-hard. I mean, they still want to win, but when baseball season's over the sun still shines.
Manny is a big star and he acts like a big star, and that's what people in LA are used to, and prefer. And, like the never-ending ridiculousness in NY, its entertaining, and keeps my mind off the fact that the Boys in Blue Pinstripes have gone over a century w/o a World Championship.
i agree. and i still spit on it
