Licking stamps eyes closed wide Holding hands a winters tide Cealing kisses an envelope torn And doth returns the summers mourn Fussy, would he is he can? Holding hands when all began Crossing roads an intersect, scorn And lovers cry together reborn A smile a glance a passing face A flowers petals stripped of lace Warmer softly into began And tossled sepals a trickle ran A smile so soft a rushing glow A lovers charm a pause, you know Happy, nothing but hands hold warm And so returns a summers morn

Does anyone else find it a little strange that Watchmen’s screenwriter is practically begging people to go see the movie again? David Hayter posted the following on HardcoreNerdity: If the film made you think. Or argue with your friends. If it inspired a debate about the nature of man, or vigilante justice, or the horror of Nixon abolishing term limits. If you laughed at Bowie hanging with Adrian at Studio 54, or the Silhouette kissing that nurse. Please go see the movie again next weekend. You have to understand, everyone is watching to see how the film will do in its second week. If you care about movies that have a brain, or balls, (and this film’s got both, literally), or true adaptations — And if you’re thinking of seeing it again anyway, please go back this weekend, Friday or Saturday night.
