watchme(n)

Yes yes…back in it with another one.

Still kicking it in Georgia, the dirty South. You know, it’s pretty odd that I’m in GA just like two hours (or a 20 minute flight) from home and I can show up. But I try to keep in touch with the fam. That’s the purpose of this whole blog stuff: to keep my folks informed

Mainly so they won’t say to me: I thought you were dead…

This whole thing is just another way for me to say, “you though I was dead, but guess what…I ain’t dead yet (expletive deleted)!!!!!!! That’s how I like to do it, just put in your face like that…hope that’s okay.

But there’s quite a bit to talk about. I went to six flags this past weekend which happened to be the opening weekend, which happened to be quite a bit of fun among the three of us. The day before we saw the much anticipated Watchmen film and well…I was a little disappointed.

*I’ll try my best to not spoil the movie for those who haven’t seen it yet*

I will say that if you love the graphic novel, you should definitely see it. if you like graphic novels in general…watch it. if you’ve never liked comics…well, don’t even think about it.

If nudity turns you off…definitely do not see this movie. It’s bordering on gratuitous in my opinion. On Comedy Central, you can get away with showing a puppet penis, if that’s more than you can stand…don’t see this.

Now on the other hand, if nudity turns you on…see this movie, but keep it in your pants. We can’t have another Pee Wee Herman incident.

Explanation: *Possible spoiler alert*
I believe I saw more blue schlong in this movie than what lives in the entire Smurf village. What I saw in the trailer was not the exact same visual that was in the movie I think. The trailer lacked pee pee, but the actual scene, (for lack of a better way to say it) ding dong. There were also quite a few cheeks (not the face ones either) in this film.

I think the movie could have lived without so much…just a few edits.
Speaking of edits, the film was 2 hour and 45 minutes long. That’s a long time…a long, long time. It was a movie featuring the origins of just about every character, which took an hour plus…then the current plot/action, which took another hour plus. I think that when this is released on DVD, I would strongly suggest splitting the movie to two disc…in a very artistic way, of course.

Anyway, Monday rolled around and we rolled to the airport to pick up our temp actor, Mr. T (not the real Mr. T), then rehearsed that day. T is cool. Tuesday we rolled into this school in Marietta which had possible the most glorious thing I’ve ever seen…a unicycle club that meets in the morning. We had to set up in the space, but couldn’t because of the 30 or so small children riding their unicycles…well. One girl was learning to ride a 6 foot unicycle. As a general silly person who’s often fantasized about running away with the circus, seeing those kids ride was amazing.

Those same kids saw the show later on…we rocked it without a doubt, but I experienced something I’ve never witnessed before: kids were chanting for me around the end of the show and afterward. I guess I did pretty good.
