I saw Watchmen with the middle school gang today.
That is, everyone but Debra. Like last week. D: Deb why do you live so far away I haven't seen you in forever~~~~
Anyway, I thought it was average. A little too long. I could see how it could have been a great graphic novel series (haven't actually read it) but converting everything to movie style didn't always work... for example, it's really easy to overact dramatic lines that look fine on a page, and make the atmosphere cheesy instead of profound. As an adaptation I thought they did a good job, overall (I could see echoes of graphic-novelism in the way the camera cut & the angles and stuff), but as a standalone movie nothing brilliant.
I want to sleep without bad dreams. D: Last night I dreamt that I was with my mom and somehow or the other she kept getting into shit - literally, shit, dung, poop, the brown stuff, diarrhea? And whatever we did constantly led to us getting tangled in the brown stuff (example: we were trying to jump down from some part of a not-really-airplane to get to the passenger area and for some reason where we came down was where a row of public toilets were and I climbed on/around them when I lowered myself down and would have come out fairly clean except my mom half-fell behind me and... yeah), it was absolutely disgusting. When I woke up in the middle of the night I could almost still taste it in my mouth and wanted to vomit.
Had slightly less disgusting but still discomfiting dreams after that; don't remember them but I think it involved my rl friends being bitchy; didn't get any decent non-stress dreams until about an hour or two before I woke up.
At least I have my teddy bear as a reality anchor. =/
