Back from the beach. Had a really good weekend. Going to head out in a few minutes to go make decisions on wedding colors and whatnot with Melissa, my mother, and her parents. Yep, colors. Oh, and we get to decide on procession order and stuff. It's a party over here. ;)

I can't complain, though. I spent the weekend at the beach at a resort. It was pretty great.

Came up with a short film concept that I pitched to Jabriel, who thinks it's funny. I might futz around with the idea some more and flesh it out. Also came up with a project idea while helping Nathanael brainstorm for his latest project. I might futz around with that, too.

We saw The Watchmen last week. Overall, I was pleased. However, I've read the graphic novel so I understood what was going on. Melissa, who had never read the graphic novel, was violently pissed off about it. She had no idea what was going on and sensed that if she did know, she would have enjoyed it. Thus, pissed. I think this is largely due to the fact that Zack Snyder is a god awful director.

On retrospect, if it wasn't for the fact that the guy playing Rorschrack was so awesome, I don't think I would have enjoyed the film.

Snyder directed with 2004 version of Dawn of the Dead, one of my favorite movies ever. And 300? Man, I had such a violence boner throughout that entire movie. Mmmmmm.

I dug Watchmen, but did see where they'd made some severe cuts (probably for length). I definitely missed the exploding psychic blob, and I really look forward to seeing the director's cut.

Just to be contrary...

My wife Myra never read the graphic novel, but she really enjoyed the movie all on its own.
