Apart from Snyder dumbing it down, the Watchmen film really went wrong in the casting of Adrian Veidt. Every other character was pretty bang-on.

Trying to square my love of local, and my trust in the people I know who work there with the idea of being charged a $7 per seat convenience fee for buying Broadway Theatre tickets in person. I still did it but it feels weird. At least I dodged the $2.50 per ticket online fee, no, I’m not kidding.
