Watchmen

It seems strange that there has not been more publicity on Watchmen. Maybe there has been, but.. I haven't watched TV in a year and haven't seen commercials, and most of the people i talk to don't really read comic books. Sometimes I feel like a hermit, trying to escape the culture that is built around me.

There's a chapter in Watchmen that describes Dr. Manhattan's view of space/time, it mimics Kurt Vonnegut's plot style in Slaughterhouse Five, a recent favorite of mine. Dr. Manhattan wonders if the universe is really just a watch without a watchmaker, alluding to and doubting the conclusion of Paley's Teleological argument. i dislike the teleological argument. i like determinism. although, now i've read somewhere that the findings of quantam mechanics make determinim impossible. i hope that someday i will get to understand why that is so. right now, i kindof like determinism.

the art in Watchmen is AMAZING. vannalyn, you need to read. before the movie comes out. move on it!

this is the best panel i could find online. read it in person, if you can. hit up a comic shop if you can, its worth the expense.
