Comments on: Watchmen: Would Jameson Approve? http://braindrainblog.com/2007/02/10/watchmen-would-jameson-aprove/ Just another Kim's Sites site Sun, 11 Sep 2011 16:09:59 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3 By: Michael Bastian http://braindrainblog.com/2007/02/10/watchmen-would-jameson-aprove/#comment-27 Michael Bastian Mon, 12 Feb 2007 04:51:32 +0000 http://atticfox.wordpress.com/2007/02/10/watchmen-would-jameson-aprove/#comment-27 All you smart people....Kim, your piece was great. Normally I?d try to argue something with you, but I don?t have anything to say. I thought that comic books would be right up your alley. Maybe you really like them, obsessively, and you don?t want to tell anyone...? Hurm...(courtesy of Rorschach). I liked your assessment of the Comedian, although I don?t share the same fondness. He doesn?t seem like your typical upstanding American hero, which is why you like him. I agree with Laurie?s anger towards her mother for letting go of the attempted rape so easily. Discussing this novel makes me feel like we?re talking about a soap opera. I think I now understand the rhizome since reading your post. Nice way to tie the two theories together. Its funny to think about a bunch of old men hanging around reading comic books again, trying to recapture some youth. You wonder if you?ll still be into the same things when you get old- rap music, popped collars, cartoons, drugs..etc. Is there a point in life where we stop changing with the times because the times have left our comfort zones? Will we all start eating those cookies that come in the metal container? I hadn?t thought about the target audience, because I thought I was the target audience. It does make sense- maybe I?ll give this book to an old guy after I?m done reading it and see if it brightens his day. All you smart people….Kim, your piece was great.
