I wasn't very interested in Watchmen, but...
After reading this review on Pharyngula, I may have to go see it.
Also, Kip and I went on a date (dressed up an everything) and saw Coraline last night. Reaction was mixed; I really enjoyed it, but had to nudge Kip when he started snoring in the middle :-) The tag bit at the beginning (rag doll refurbishment with actor's names over it) turns out to tie in with stuff later on. And I may never look at buttons in quite the same way again. But I think it lacked a certain thematic complexity and depth that Kip prefers in his movies. Or maybe there just wasn't enough gore--Kip likes both of those, though I don't think they usually appear in the same movie.
After the movie we went to the Outback. Note to people trying to keep portions at a reasonable size; the "sampler" portion of Chocolate Thunder From Down Under is about the size of a normal dessert--and about 1/4 the size of the full-fledged Chocolate Thunder.
