NAGASAKI CAFÉ: I review Watchmen-the-movie here. I really could’ve written five times as much and not even touched on everything I have to say about this movie; so I’ve added a lot of geeked-out commentary over here. The NRO piece is vaguely spoilerous, but the stuff here is intensely so.

My old post about Watchmen-the-comic, which I still think is pretty hot.

So, posts at my spoilery site: My emotional arc after seeing the movie; what could I cut? (includes my pushback against the defenders of the softcore-VH1 sex scene, so if you’re invested in that sub-argument, that’s where I take it on); what the killer’s dogs do for the story (includes my pushback against Barbara Nicolosi, whose response I respectfully disagree with); and random notes, including errata for the NRO piece.

Note that if you want to link to any posts at the spoilery site (or here, for that matter!) you need to erase the extra “tail” Blogger adds to the URLs for some reason. So that first post should be

not

Sorry about that! I wish I knew how to fix it.
