I am married to a fanboy. Steve loves all things geeky; comic books, video games, Star Wars, Lord of the Rings etc... I find this endearing, and over the years I have come to enjoy the things he enjoys. I am a geek by marriage. I admit it, I embrace it, and that is why I am able to go with Steve to see things like the Watchmen movie. The Watchmen comics came out when Steve was a teen and they are what got him interested in comic books. I read them years ago, and I was almost embarrassed at how much I liked them. (at that time I hadn't yet accepted my geek status) We approached the movie with trepadation, as we do all adaptations, and we were shocked at how good the movie was. Steve went so far as to say that the movie had a better ending. That is high praise coming from a comic book geek.
Be honest, you sat through it because of Dr. Millenium. I know I did.
ReplyDeleteNo, I mean Dr. Manhattan. Couldn't even remember his name, I was so distracted by, um, just distracted.
ReplyDeleteI won't deny it, Dr. Manhattan had me distracted.
ReplyDeleteThanks for outing me! I thought this was our secret ... Just kidding, anyone who has talked to me for 5 minutes knows I'm a big geek. Regarding the movie: I was really worried the movie would stink and cast a poor reflection on the book. I was relived this was not the case. It wasn't perfect, but it was well done and I enjoyed it.
