The Watchmen

So... We were all set to do an after show for our midnight viewing of the Watchmen. I brought my laptop, we had three headsets and we were set to bullshit... The problem is, we never got to finish the movie. We drove over an hour to Columbus for the sole purpose of seeing this movie. Sure, we got to go to Barnes and Noble, which is a treat for us. We got to hang out at a bar at Easton. We had some chuckles, but the main objective was not complete. To quote our female companion Kathy, "It was like having sex and not coming."

Needless to say we were all very disappointed. It turns out that the IMAX projector that was being used for our showing ate the film. The were able to salvage the film, but, for some reason the sound was never restored properly. I believe that the film and the sound are ran by two different devices connected through the overall IMAX system. So the sound was out of sync. After about an hour of them trying to fix it and us each receiving two free tickets to a future showing of anything ran at an AMC theater (unfortunately, there are no nearby AMCs) we decided to call it a lost cause. We went home empty.

So... We will still do a Watchmen review, but unfortunately, it will have to wait till we can finish the movie which might not be till next week.

I will say though, what I saw of the movie was pure fried gold.
