• Why is everyone getting shot in the leg? And why is it so splatter-y?
• Wait, what did Ozy do?
• What kind of rat-bastard psychotic would play that song at this moment?
• Dan Dreiberg looks like Ty Webb.
• So Ozy's grand scheme was to rebuild every major city with his construction company? Makes more sense than Quantum of Solace.

Tristan lent me his copy of the book the last couple of hours I was in Eugene and I gotta say that reading the little amount I was able to was incredible. I totally agree that the comic/story line was probably a story board for the film. Now I have to find a copy in the library or wait until Tristan is finished and can mail me his copy. Why-oh-why didn't I read it when you lent it to me?! Curses!
Overall, I found the film very well done considering I came into it blind. I thought the filming techniques were grand and I was able to keep up with the story. What I am looking forward to is the history of the Minutemen which is available through the exerts within the actual comic/book.
As you know, I'm pretty wiggly during movies and, therefore, am not able to sit through one in it's entirety, but I wasn't 'bored' or 'wiggly' a bit during this one. I just wanna read the book!
