I do know the lyrics to All Along the Watchtower cuz I've heard it a million times, and the lyrics are appropriate. However, today's movie soundtrack transcends the actual movie. The conversation goes like this, "Todd, let me borrow that Northface pullover bro, Jenny's coming to the party tonight. I got the Smirinof Ice, you bring the Watchmen soundtrack." And in that regard, I feel sorry for the movie.
