Aw, man! Really?? Have you read Watchmen? I'd be interested to know what you disliked about the film.

And I don't think one can actually be a douchebump; only get them. So you're totally in the clear. But the bit where 3rd Rock says, "Why didn't [past boyfriends] work out?" and She & Him responds with "What always happens. Life." That didn't make you cringe? Not even just a little?

Almost everyone I know who has read Watchmen has hated the movie. Almost. I haven't read it or seen it because I live under layers and layers of rocks.

The Nashville Film Festival openers are rarely very good. The Deal last year was an average comedic premise that devolved into a tired formula and My Secret Record was the most boring, conflict-free music documentary I've ever seen (I wanted to make a solo album, so I did. THE END). But they do feature high profile actors and it's a nice show for the TV cameras before the meat of the festival starts the next day.

Atleast that insane sounding Shatner ballet movie is screening. And the Gogol Bordello documentary, Non-Stop, should be great too.

(Also I didn't like Watchmen that much, and I own that huge 10 pound Absolute edition of the graphic novel. I didn't hate it, but when I left the movie theater, I had no interest in seeing it again like I did Dark Knight.)

Saw the Watchmen on a day off in Ft Worth at an 80's time capsule super AMC and had such low expectations that I actually kinda enjoyed watching it. Of course, it goes without saying that anyone that might be interested should just read the real deal. The thing that I've now discovered I hate the most about this adaptation is... having to defend such a fun/great/involved read to people who have never heard of it and, worse yet, are quick to assume the medium suggests one will only get the stereotypical men in tights experience. There was a time when slow motion was really f*ing expensive. Oh well.
