Who's Watching the Watchmen?
Hello People. Man, it's been kinda long since I last blogged. That was on Monday. I haven't been on the com cause well, my erm..mother took it away. I think cause I have using it for too long. But what the hell am I supposed to do man. If there was something in the house that is much more interesting to do than using the computer, I swear I would much rather do it than sit in front of this fucking screen for such a long time. Also, I huge thanks to the people that came today. I hoped you enjoyed the food. Please feel free to voice out any opinions on how I can improve it, no matter how bad it may sound. Maybe I can improve it, cause I think the food still ain't that good. And it won't be curry rice the next time, maybe some Japanese noodles. Cause like since the first time y'all come, it's always been curry rice. If you don't find it boring, I kinda do. So, next time, noodles..no more fucking rice! If you weren't invited, it ain't cause I hate you or anything. It is because there was already too many people coming. My original plan was to only have 5-6 people coming, but it was increased to 7. Today, I had 9 people coming over. There almost wasn't enough rice, cause my rice cooker ain't big enough, it can only cook 5 cups of rice. LOLS! I know, it's like that cause it's old as fuck. And there also almost wasn't enough curry to go around. In the end, I didn't have a chance to eat. But it's cool, as long as y'all enjoy, it's alright. So you see, I'll have to cook at least 2 pots of curry next time and get a bigger rice cooker, so that more people can come and they can at least have second helping. I think people like Shane didn't have enough to eat. And I feel pretty sad QC couldn't make it today. I miss my assistant chef.. OK, now moving to my main topic: the new up-and-coming superhero movie: WATCHMEN!! If, like me you're really hyped up and haven't read the comic book, (Yes! Watchmen is actually based on a comic book. Please say you knew that?)and still want to watch it, here is a really quick but detailed run through of the characters. ![]() Now, the HEROES!!! ![]() History: Back in the Minutemen days, The Comedian was the team's youngest member, and also the one that caused the most friction within the group, leading to a violent confrontation with another hero named Hooded Justice. Over time, Blake turned out to be the hero most eager to work directly for the U.S. government as a soldier and assassin around the world, most notably in Vietnam (along with Dr. Manhattan). In the 1970s, The Comedian teamed up with Nite Owl to help control civilian anti-hero protests, but clearly The Comedian enjoyed "controlling" the mobs a bit too much. Blake's violent death by defenestration at the beginning of Watchmen is the event that kicks off the rest of the story. ![]() History: Rorschach got his start trying to be a "good" costumed adventurer, but an encounter in 1975 with a murderer who fed a young girl to his dogs flipped Rorschach from being a man who wore a mask to being a mask who was also a man, and just as violent as any criminals. Early in his crimefighting career, Rorschach teamed up with Nite Owl (who supplied him with his grappling hook gun). When the Keene Act outlawed costumed vigilantes, Nite Owl retired, but Rorschach never did. A wanted man, Rorschach frequently finds himself simultaneously fighting both the police and the criminals he's after. ![]() History: Coming into the costumed hero scene at around the same as Rorschach (the early 1960s), Nite Owl (II) was driven into early retirement by the Keene Act. Keeping the Owlship and all his gadgets in a dusty garage, Dan spent the next 10 years getting chubby, spending a lot of time with the original Nite Owl (who retired years earlier) and secretly obsessing nostalgically about his good old days as a superhero. ![]() History: Taking over her mother's hero moniker as a teenager, Laurie quickly fell in love with Dr. Manhattan, and when most other heroes were forced into retirement, she moved in with Dr. Manhattan, living in his quarters on a government military base. Manhattan's growing disillusionment with the human race, however, causes friction in their relationship, and as Watchmen starts, Laurie finds herself attracted to another costumed adventurer. ![]() History: With his amazing abilities, Dr. Manhattan is an obvious candidate to become not just a hero, but the world's only true super hero. However, his alignment with the U.S. government soon leads him to also becoming a pawn in America's military engagements (especially Vietnam), which Manhattan agrees to in no small part because of the detachment he now feels to the human race in general; after all, he is a sort of walking god. Dr. Manhattan has two romantic interests in his life, but both ultimately go badly, since he is so distanced from the emotions of normal human beings. ![]() History: Not much is actually known of Ozymandias' early career as a costumed adventurer, except that he was responsible for taking down Moloch the Mystic, and was among those who were recruited to join a group of adventurers. When the Keene Act outlawed costumed vigilanties, Adrian Veidt was quite content to retire and focus on his corporate empire. Veidt Industries is a large, hi-tech corporation with varied divisions, not the least of which is one that creats action figures based on Veidt's former exploits as well as the likenesses of the other heroes. Man, Watchmen is gonna be so frigging awesome. Catch it in theaters 6th March 2009!!! Ciao.. |
