Okay... have an alternative suggestion, Wylders?

I'd be fine with Thursday, if the other guys are.  From what I've gleaned from the previous posts, Mac said any day but Monday or Friday, and Dragon said he had the week off... I, of course, have no social life besides you guys.

Thursday is fine by me.
I spoke with someone that watched the Watchmen already.
Apparantly there is a scene with a little too much showing of big blue. I don't know the characters, but the general impression was they showed off his hardware, which may have been soft at the time.
Another note to keep in mind is that the movie is almost three hours long.  :o    about 160 minutes I hear.
Just a couple of non-spoiler factiods.

yeah, as I stated earlier in the post, I had intended to see it more than once, and I did go late friday night on the way home from the comedy performance.

There are prolonged scenes featuring giant blue genitals, and a graphic, although soft-core sex scene as well, all faithfully recreated from the original book.  I'm sure Wylders would aprove of the latter.

I'm personally not sure what happened in the last 20 minutes or so, because I did doze off.  Not because it was boring, but it was about 2am by that point.  It did however look like they changed one very key plot point for some unknown reason.  Maybe I missed the explanation, I don't know... ???

It's just that time of year...and I'm not a big Watchman fan anyway...AND, I'm watching my money.  A little tight right now.

Perhaps the latter 1/2 of April will be better for me!

Saw in on Sunday. I LOVED it. Waiting to see Dragon's reaction since he didn't read the book. Also would like to see what Wyldwing feels about it since he and I don't always see eye to eye.

I also have not read the story.
I'm good for today, Wednesday.
I will probably get out of work around 4pm.
What time is good? Are we still seeing it at Eastlake Woodlands AMC? They do have comfortable seats for a 3 hour movie.

Yes, Eastlake Woodlands AMC. I see that they have a 6:15 show today, which is probably the earliest one that I'd be able to get to. Are we planning to meet outside the ticket booth, or inside near the door to the movie?

I'll be there pretty early, so you can find me in the sports bar, in the same plaza, to the west of the theatre. I can meet you by the door to the movie if your pressed for time.

Considering that I'll probably get there very close to the start of the movie it would probably be best for me to meet you guys at the theater. I'll plan on meeting you inside by the door to the movie then.

I'll have my cell phone as well.  I can leave Lutz by 5pm, and getting to that area usually takes 45 minutes on the weekend.  Weekday traffic might make it right around 6.  The veterans expressway should help.1
