The Watchmen Vs. Reigning Sound - Mar 6 - Help One Man Decide
« on: February 19, 2009, 02:27:03 PM »
Tom,

The title says it all. What say you? Southpaw, Brooklyn or The Watchmen opening night?

(I wrote about my dilemma here - http://robotsweatshop.blogspot.com/2009/02/watchmen-vs-reigning-sound-help-one-man.html)

Shameless plug aside, Frank From Weehawken says I should just attend Reigning Sound dressed as Rorschach...

Yours truly,

M from M

Doesn't seem like much of a dilemma. Watchmen will still be playing on March 7th.

Reigning Sound.  Especially if they do that "I'm Waiting for the Day" Beach Boys cover.

Excellent point, of course, Bryan. But you gotta take in the incomprehensible-to-most component of fandom. Besides, aren't movies more fun when you're going with an excited group instead of going alone the next afternoon? Take Tyler Perry's Madea Goes To Jail. I won't be making that mistake again.

This is not even up for discussion.

Reigning Sound is great the way the Watchmen is great IN COMIC BOOK FORM.

The movie will be there the next day.

The Reigning Sound WON'T.

See the band and get with the program, son.

Tom.

Reigning Sound

your last name isn't Cartwright is it.  (I know it's not).

I'm thinking of driving 2 1/2 hours to see Reigning Sound in Philly Mar 7.  The only way I'd do that for Watchmen is to destroy the only existing print of the film.

I do hope you go dressed up as Rorschach, in any case.  I promise to go as Dr. Manhattan if you will take an oath to do that.
Oh, good heavens. I didn’t realize. I send my condolences out to the rest of the O’Connor family.

I love it. Maybe I'll just show up as Heath Ledger's Joker. And shush the band while I silently read my Watchmen trade.

Definitely see The Reigning Sound. I still have yet to see them in spite of paying money and entering a club where they were on the bill. It's a stirring tale of injustice that I shan't bother telling here.
I'll probably go into the wee hours.

I won't be able to make it to Southpaw next Friday night; we'll, it would be difficult for me to travel out to Brooklyn from Jersey that night. But, I'll be @ Maxwell's on Sunday :). I'd much rather spend 42 cents than see this ticket go to waste!

First one to PM me with an address to send this to wins the ticket!



Good luck!
