Novel Idea: 10 Ways to Enjoy Reading ‘Watchmen’
Tom Spurgeon isn’t looking forward to the film, so he’s listed 10 ways to enjoy reading the Watchmen graphic novel:
I have almost no interest in the Watchmen movie coming out a couple of weekends from now. I’m not flush with anticipation for it, nor am I red-faced in my adamant refusal to have anything to do with it. It feels like another movie to me. I hope it’s good, because it’s better for there to be good movies than bad movies and I like the source material. But if it’s bad, I hope that it’s at least bad in an interesting fashion because I prefer that to boring-bad. I have no personal stake in its success or failure, and barring your taking a stand on objections to the movie made public by writer Alan Moore, you probably shouldn’t, either.
