jedibuttercupI've been to see two movies in the last week: Paul Blart: Mall Cop, to which I was invited by TS (WW buddy) and family on Sunday, and Push, which I watched last night on my lonesome.
Mall Cop? Typical twelve-year-old boy humor, but if you skip over the bar scene, the rest of it was entertaining. Not something I'd ever fic, or buy, but funny.
Push, on the other hand? Wow, a big sparkly wrapper full of nothing. Might be fun to fill in some of the gaps with fic, but I'd have to do it as a crossover, because there's just no there there under the sparse skeleton of worldbuilding required to hold the "plot" together. Still: sparkly, and I don't regret going to see it.
Pop quiz, by the way: should I track down a copy of Watchmen before going to see the movie in two weeks? My experience with graphic novels is very limited, and mostly from tie-ins available at Borders, since neither my parents nor my brother nor my closest college friends were ever into them that I knew of. I don't even know where to buy them around here aside from book stores. But I've been told Hellblazer is superior enough to the Constantine movie that I should get my hands on some, and I've heard good things about Watchmen, so....
