Watchmen...
Last night, I got to go to the world premiere of the big new film 'Watchmen'. Now, I'll admit that I'm not the world's biggest comic book fan - well, I did quite like the Beano once upon a time - but Watchmen is a legendary comic book series. And after years of courtcases, phone calls and arguments between nerds, it's finally been made into a feature length film.
It's a very impressive film and cost more than $100 million to make. The effects are pretty decent but it is SO long. Nearly 3 hours. With poor legroom, this film is difficult to manage. Fans of the comic will absolutely love it - and I mean properly love it. There's some nudity in it too. Also, don't be misled by the term 'comic' - there's nothing in this film for kids! Very gory.
Now, I say world premiere but don't think I've gone all showbiz as the most famous person I saw there was Producer Neil because we were diverted from the red carpet into the back entrance. Have a look at the official website. They've spent just a little bit too much money on it I think...
Good film though, it's out next Friday.

I've been really looking forward to Watchmen. I'm not a nerd, but I grew up reading Watchmen, Spiderman, X-Men etc. Manly stuck with Marvel. But 3 hours?! Ouch. I thought Transformers was long.

@Emma. Watchmen is DC Comics, not Marvel. I should have worded that better. DC is Superman and Batman.
Not that it matters.
Wow...I didn't realise how much of a geek I actually am o.o
