New layout! :)

And it is very shiny indeed! I asked kathyh to make me a 'Being Human' banner, and now I just want to sit and stare at it instead of getting anything done...

(Saying goodbye to my AtF header reminded me that I really ought to write something about AtF, since I *adored* the ending. I need more hours in the day - or maybe a nanny and a cleaner. And speaking of comics then I think I've finally had enough of season 8. I'm not even annoyed anymore, just bored. Episode I bored.)

Also - Watchmen (movie) links:

Review by selenak and Thoughts on why Laurie is important.

Review by Roger Ebert, which goes into a lot of the stuff I've been pondering. Very deep but excellent.

ETA: LJ has done its icon-swap thing for this post. It *ought* to be Kaylee, but really... isn't.

Haven't seen the Watchmen movie yet. Read the book many years ago and loved it. Have yet to see an Alan Moore adaptation that worked, though.

The verdict from fans of the comic is that it is a very faithful adaptation that works rather well. I'd certainly recommend it - it works very well as a film, and made me want to go read the comic to delve even deeper.

You have caught the bug, ms elisi. Sorry to but in, but I agree the only good comic based movies are 300, and Batman Begins. Know I just want to warn you Alan Moore's more recent Lost Girls...well. It's pretty art, but lots and lots of sex in every way possible. It's the work I can't read. It's based on Alice in Wonderland, Dorthory of Oz, and Wendy of Peter Pan, in very naughty ways. It even has Dorthory "being" with the tin man, and includes incest.

Oops tin man and lion.

I'll stick with Watchmen then! *avoids everything else*
