So we are watching Watchmen, and as I never mentioned it back when it was recent, I shall do so now.

When I saw first saw the movie, it was in Cologne, and it was (obviously) the year 2009.
Nobody reacted to the (much-discussed on the intarwebs) giant blue penis. But several people gasped when Ozymandias was talking to the functionaries, and in the background a zeppelin seemed to be heading straight for the twin towers of the WTC...

I found that vaguely enlightening.

In other news, we are snowed in. Well, were. The plough came down the hill a few hours ago, so I assume we could now get up again.

I saw it in a cinema with, uh, three people because I was so late xD nobody of them gasped.

I think it's funny how in America the giant blue schlong was such an issue and everyone in Europe just went "well, and ...?"

Yes, that was the enlightening part. ;)

It gets colder in Europe, so y'all are more accustomed to blue body parts.

I think the colour was not so much of an issue ;)

Which always reminds me of the wonderful argumentation I read on gametrailers that the x-box is gay because, well there is a penis in GTA.

Those reactions were priceless as well.
