Watchmen
Before i forget this:
went to see Watchmen, as someone who has never read the comics i dont really have a review or response, as an "uniformed simpleton" i thought it extremely interesting and cinematically cool. but that's not what this is about. having spent all of last quarter in my cultural anthropology class i find myself slipping into the mind set of questioning the deeper significance between "normal" things around me. so i was sitting there going, "why do none of the women wear masks? all of the men have masks, but the three women dont. why?" then i had a thought: they're sexuality is their mask.
i don't want to mar my enjoyment of the film but i find this an interesting idea to be further investigated at a later date.
altogether glad i went, might have to pick up the comic, spring break is almost here. maybe i can take it with me on the knowledge bowl road trip ;)
