why i love

Watchmen

I am obsessed with the Watchmen movie right now. every day I'll scope the net for new info and clips. But I wouldn't care about the movie if I didn't love the source material. I read the graphic novel when i was 11. It was heavy. I remember reading it in the back of my father's pick up truck on a trip to visit my grandmother in Pennsylvania. It was heavy, man. I didn't know what it all meant but i know it meant SOMETHING. It was more than just a comic..I realize now that it was my first experience with true literature. Now I've read it a few times and I know the themes and metaphors. It's No wonder that the New York Times listed it as one of the best novels of the 20th century.
