47/840

Stood in firelight, sweltering. Bloodstain on chest like map of violent new continent. Felt cleansed. Felt dark planet turn under my feet and knew what cats know that makes them scream like babies in night.
Looked at sky through smoke heavy with human fat and God was not there. The cold, suffocating dark goes on forever and we are alone. Live our lives, lacking anything better to do. Devise reason later. Born from oblivion; bear children, hell-bound as ourselves, go into oblivion. There is nothing else.
Existence is random. Has no pattern save what we imagine after staring at it for too long. No meaning save what we choose to impose. This rudderless world is not shaped by vague metaphysical forces. It is not God who kills the children. Not fate that butchers them or destiny that feeds them to the dogs. Itâs us. Only us. Streets stank of fire. The void breathed hard on my heart, turning its illusions to ice, shattering them. Was reborn then, free to scrawl own design on this morally blank world.
Was Rorschach.
Does that answer your Questions, Doctor?

Im sure this video will be taken down sooner than you can see it

Regardless.

You should probably go see Watchmen. But for gods sake please it too. Im not gonna go on an emotional rant about how amazing it is, how much im moved by it, even though i want to.

There are a number of things i dont like about the film; Doc Matt's voice, Rorschach's voice, the subtle story adjustments, gratuitous sex scenes, over doing the blood, and leaving out many of my favorite quotes. Most of all, its only about 60% perecnt of the story. And im telling you right now, you want to see the other fourty percent.

Over all, its a decent film, but Ill say it again, the book tell the story much better. Although, there are two things that I absolutley loved.

1) The soundtrack. Perfect. Either you get it or you dont.

2)
