I'm surprised that the reaction in this thread to Fanboys was as lukewarm as it was. Maybe that helped lower my expectations, but I was surprised at how good it turned out to be. LOTS of funny parallels with the original starwars trilogy and quite a few interesting cameos. Some of the extras on the DVD are worth watching too.

Watched Weapons last night, eh, I was 18 when Kids came out. Hard to come close to that. Indy cliche, lots of super close up facial shots, with not heard everyday soundtracks. Meh.

Star Trek was very enjoyable. Yes, I just saw it for the first time today. Hooray for $2 movie houses.

Finally saw Watchmen (I generally dislike people so I don't do theaters.) It was awesome, and I've read the book more than once. The ground they covered in the introduction was incredible and very well done. My one nitpicky complaint was the soundtrack, while I thought Everybody Wants To Rule The World subtley playing in the lobby of Adrian's office was brilliant, I hated that they put Hendrix in there. Yes, I can hear Jimi, I'm just not a fan of putting a song everybody's heard a million times in a movie, just me though.

I wouldn't have picked every song that they did, either, but I understand (and support) the thinking behind the artistic choice. |

That's fair. My initial reaction was to balk at the music choices for how they often clashed with the scene. But... I am that deep (I'm a literature scholar), and the people behind the movie are, too.
