The film adaptation of Watchmen is finally here! The reviews are mixed, but Roger Ebert dug it, so I am all in.

I remembered the first time the search occurred to me. I came to myself under a chindolea bush. ~ Binx Bolling (The Moviegoer by Walker Percy)

Something to Ponder
Better or Better Off by Peter Maurin
The world would be better off,
If people tried to become better.
And people would become better,
If they stopped trying to be better off.
For when everybody tries to become better off,
Nobody is better off.
But when everybody tries to become better,
Everybody is better off.
Everybody would be rich,
If nobody tried to be richer.
And nobody would be poor,
If everybody tried to be the poorest.
And everybody would be what he ought to be,
If everybody tried to be
What he wants the other fellow to be.
The world would be better off,
If people tried to become better.
And people would become better,
If they stopped trying to be better off.
For when everybody tries to become better off,
Nobody is better off.
But when everybody tries to become better,
Everybody is better off.
Everybody would be rich,
If nobody tried to be richer.
And nobody would be poor,
If everybody tried to be the poorest.
And everybody would be what he ought to be,
If everybody tried to be
What he wants the other fellow to be.

One of the characters, Moloch, has something from the Jesuits in his mail during the movie.
Now how did they find out about our secret alliance with Moloch?
Moloch the Mystic = Jesuit stooge. How predictable!
On a side note, it is good to see Max Headroom working again.
