Sex Bomb?

      I wrote this little ditty a while back, someone asked for it to be uploaded. Tada! It's a story about the greatest hero there ever was.




      Hurray for bedroom recording studio! Oh, here are the lyrics:

Tom Jones
First of his kind and the last of his line
Tom Jones
Savior to man and the lord of the land

He was born a coal-miner's son
In the mystical land of Wales.
Defeated the Kraken and many a dragon.
The subject of many a tale.

But he wasn't content
Confined to the place of his birth
So he hopped in his flying machine
And set off to conquer the Earth

Chorus

He would travel to the land of Tibet
And learn their sacred holy sound
Used its power to overthrow tyrants
And send their empires tumbling down

Became the hero for all mankind
Could've had any girl that he chose
Loved a thousand women, but married none of them
A king destined to rule alone

Chorus

All Along The Watch(men)tower

      So last Monday, I got a free pass to see Watchmen for free a few days early. Naturally, I feel I need to blooooooog about this. I'm sure there's enough in depth reviews that I won't go into too much depth, just would like to say a few things. (Some stuff may be spoilerific or just not make sense without knowledge of Watchmen, but if you haven't read the comic by now, seriously why not? I actually bought a physical copy of it, but I read it in for free online first. There are ways you can do this too.)
      First of all, I feel like enjoyment of this movie is probably inversely proportional to how many times you've read the book or how obsessed you are with it in general.
      Yeah, there's a lot of important stuff left out, but this is to be expected in pretty much any movie based off a book. Books are longer than movies. Get over it. Read the damn thing again if it means that much to you. There's only so much to be expected
      There are more fight and sex scenes in the movie than in the book. I have no information to support this, but this is my theory for how things went:
Zack Snyder: "Hey guys, I want to make Watchmen into a movie finally"
Evil Hollywood Moneybags: "You're the 300 guy right? Soooo... this will have lots of violence and some relatively pointless titties right?"
ZS: "But... those aren't in the book"
EHM: "TITTIES AND SLOW MO FIGHTAN"
ZS: "le sigh"

      Now most importantly, Watchmen parodies!
Watchmen Cartoon Intro
PvP Comic Parody
WatchmeX - Wiki about the 90's XTREME comic and other spin-offs
And finally, Alan Moore sabotages the movie

P.S. Almost forgot one more!
