I guess I shouldn't be amazed at the number of slacker ignoramuses who are up in arms about my frank review cutting down the absolute crap they worship a/k/a "The Watchmen", coming out in theaters late tonight. The e-mails they send me and the comments they make about how "deep," "edgy" and "profound" this vile piece of trash (which is none of these) reminds me of the blind statements of followers of Jim Jones. And we all know what happened after they drank he purple Kool-Aid. If only this movie could achieve that result, it would be the most fantastic exercise in natural selection ever conducted in America.

Miscellaneous Ping List
This is a general interest list. We cover everything from the sublime to the ridiculous.
If you want on or off this ping list, please FReepmail me.
I plan to see it tomorrow.
yah...I’m bettin’ you didn’t think much of Harry Potter, either...
For that last time, it wasn’t Kool-Aid!! It was poisoned Flavor Aid.
“Take a valium, Debbie. “
Or at least switch to decaf. My God, you would think she is talking about war, poverty and death, not some movie.
Her signal to noise ratio approaches zero.
If nothing else, the article is remarkable for containing two words I’ve never seen in this order:
“Poor Hitler.”
I usual agree on some level with this woman but she needs to lighten up on the perpetual outrage.
LOL.
She’s only one critic. Once in a blue moon, Ann Coulter, Michelle Malkin miss their marks and they get theirs from the free-thinkers. It’s unfortunate because she’s got a nice rac..I mean, it must be a blonde moment for her.
Oh yeah. The idea that every cultural artifact should be appropriate for children is just asinine.
From her review:
“If this move is “conservative,” who the heck needs liberal?”
That was my impression of “Dark Knight” also.
[ducking..]
DEBBIE HIT THE NAIL ON THE HEAD: (As far as I am concerned)!
Well, what can I say, enjoy the numerous glimpses of glowing blue penis.
I say good for her.
I’m intrigued too.
You are absolutely insufferable. How dare you insult people who just happen to have different tastes than you. Who the hell made your opinion the be all/end all of opinions? Get off your moral high-horse and write about something you're familiar with, which from the looks of your articles, isn't much.I enjoyed Watchmen. I am not depraved. I am not a serial killer. I am not a violent person in any sense of the word. I have a good high-paying job (my screen name hints at what I do for a living), am well educated, and I don't PASS JUDGMENT on people who enjoy different hobbies.
I am spreading the word to all that I know that you are a pathetic hate-tank. A hack Ann Coulter wanna-be. At least Ann Coulter has some charisma and a sense of humor. You are a slimy, pathetic loser who seems to have so little self-esteem that you personally insult those with even the slightest difference of opinion.
You give Conservatives a bad name, you judgmental blow-hard. And yes, I made this personal, because YOU made it personal.

Yea, these false statments are giving Kool-Aid a bad name.
I read about this on another thread. I still plan to see the movie. Thanks for the "heads up."
She was just looking for some attention.
I might see the movie.
Except, with three young children, I rarely get to see any movie.
At least Debbie has the sense to be outraged and angry at the state of our “culture.”
And perhaps, just perhaps, there is a connection between the state of our souls, the state of our culture, and the state of our politics.
Are you offended by the sex and violence in Shakespeare and Greek Tragedy? Or in D.H. Lawrence?
If anyone is a fanatic, it’s this slobbering twit. Too much bleach in her hair dye apparently.
You enjoyed that comment because it’s such a cartoonish self-parody?
“You are absolutely insufferable....
“...I don’t PASS JUDGMENT on people who enjoy different hobbies.
“...you are a pathetic hate-tank...a slimy, pathetic loser who seems to have so little self-esteem that you personally insult those with even the slightest difference of opinion.”
Well.. at least he doesn’t PASS JUDGMENT on people!
Memo to Debbie: take a deep breath, relax. It is just a movie.
Fact: Japanese children regularly encounter depictions of rape, slaughter, mayhem, war, dismemberment, disfigurement, homosexuality, transsexuality, people having sex with aliens, robots, and tentacle monsters, and much worse in their entertainment media. Yet few grow up to practice these things. I wonder why?
Err on the side of caution though. Too many idiot parents are going to bring their kids to see this as it is...
My wife and I are planning on seeing it in IMax. Not for the big blue penis, but for the story line. I wouldn't mind seeing Malin Akerman (Silk Specter II) nekkid either... ;-)
Hey, Debbie, hyperbole much?
They are dealing with declining birth rates and skyrocketing suicide rates though. Could that be the trade off?
The Japanese are also close to extinction because they are not real-sexual enough to procreate a new generation.
Oh, btw, you got your Monarch now, just how well do you like Emperor Obama?
News headline: Comic Book Geeks Pwned by Strident Blonde Hottie.
Are you really asserting that Watchmen has any artistic or aesthetic merit?
When Oedipus blinds himself after committing years of incest, is the audience titillated? And why didn't Sophocles depict the incest itself? That would have been very titillating indeed.
It's very convenient to lump it all together: One murder in a work of art, say Crime and Punishment, is just the same as a murder in the latest teen sex slayer film.
I gather you actually endorse that view.
It sounds to me as though Watchmen is an orgy of gruesomeness served up to delight those how enjoy carnage for carnage's sake, who enjoy vivid depictions of cruelty and savagery as a kind of light entertainment.
You see nothing morally or culturally corrosive about this.
I beg to differ.
Oh, good grief, don’t pick on the guy because he’s a monarchist. Obama is about as far as from his ideal as you can get.
A King is a King. You want an Ideal? Fantasy!
To compare this to Shakespeare or any classic literature is a BIG stretch.
Deb, you might want to watch your spelling, grammar and punctuation when you're expounding on the low intelligence of others.
It’s really nice how she starts off with the insults to make sure we know she’s discarded logic. Saves us the trouble of having to read the rest.
Why don’t you read the rest of his profile instead of carping about that one thing?
My husband is taking me to see it tomorrow. But I am really holding out for “Terminator Salvation”. I am not so interested in the Wolverine flick.
Oooh, I like trashy. Maybe I should see this.
Oh, ruffled your feathers too? Just when do adults stop bragging on comics to the point of not taking legitimate criticism?
Nope. The Italians, Germans, and Russians have the same demographic problem — not enough babies. If it weren’t for illegals, it would be the same here in the USA.
So he’s a monarchist. Why did you bring that up in the first place? It’s just asinine.
LOL
