Killing cliche's as fast as you invent them.

So Rival and I went to go and see Watchmen on Friday.

Fuckin AMAZING. Jackie Earl Haley’s Rorschach? SPOT-ON. PERFECT RORSCHACH. It made me love Rorschach 10x more. I WANT JEH’S BABIES. okay maybe not, but whatever.

I bawled like a little baby when Rorschach died. Surprised no one told me to shut up. Hell, I was crying just leading UP to it, because I knew what was going to happen! D:

but all in all, I liked the movie a LOT. the changes they made…they worked for the movie. even the ending somewhat.

now, onto a beef I have with the fandom.

There are a lot of people who are saying it earned it’s R rating. Which, is true. there are some violent bits (granted, I didn’t shy away from those. They all made perfect sense as to why they had those scenes, such as the scene where Rorschach kills a child kidnapper. He puts a meat cleaver into his head multiple times as opposed to setting him on fire in the comic book. It showed him truely snapping for the last time.) and yeah, there’s blue penis.  (I didn’t see it really cause lolImblind.) the only thing I went “ew wtfffff lol” was at Dan’s ass.

anyway, I  made a joke of it on the watchdom community, about some girl who wasn’t able to see it cause of her mom, something like, “TOO MUCH MAN-ASS.”

And then some smart ass had to go and put: “No matter how mature you are, at fifteen you still giggle at seeing a swinging penis, or (like a previous poster), some “man ass”, just because it’s there.”

Okay look, even my 20-something uncle laughed at the penis and ass. It’s kind of hard NOT TOO. Everyone was laughing at the ass and the penis.

Doesn’t mean it takes away from the movie. Doesn’t mean the movies gonna mean less to me because I saw Dan’s ass or Manhatten’s penis is flopping around. I made a joke of it and moved on. The rest of the movie had me on the edge of my seat.

Once again, it proves that people really don’t remember what it’s like to be a teenager. We’re not all stupid. We understand things more then you give us credit for. Everyone is saying the penis and sex was unnecessary. I just laughed and moved on. That wasn’t even one of my gripes about the movie. The only thing I didn’t like was Sally Jupiter’s terrible actress. (and the stuff they cut out. but that’ll be in the Director’s Cut.)

So to all the people saying 15 is too young? It depends on the 15 year old or whatever old you have. Granted, I’m not saying you should bring your little kid to the movie. but a teenager who’s mature enough, then yeah. There’s no point in saying no - it only makes them want it more.
