THE TIMES THEY ARE A CHANGING: I know we already did a Watchmen thread, but I just saw it last night. I quite enjoyed it and, since it had been about 15 years since I read the graphic novel, my memories were not so fresh that I noticed that anything was missing.

Still, I wanted to note for the record that the opening credits sequence was one of the best I've seen in years. The stills done as movies-with-people-trying-to-stand-still gave it an absolutely perfect comic book feel. And perhaps because I already cared about the Minutemen and the Watchmen, the Dylan rendition of "The Times They Are a Changing" sounded fresh to me for the first time in twenty years.

Three hours well spent.
