Diaper Chicken

This past weekend, the street next to our place was barricaded off and there were tons of cop cars and official looking thingamajigs there for the entire time. Nick assumed it might have been a drug bust (Livermorons tend to get bored) and I just didn't think to much of it.

What it turned out to be.

Heh. On the plus side, my usual callousness meant that instead of being overly concerned about our safety, my focus was on the potential ramifications this incident could cause to the property value. I'm assuming it's a domestic incident, anyway.


This past weekend, I also saw Watchmen.
Instead of adding one summarizing review to the multitudes out there (my opinion basically matches with the RT consensus), I figured I'd just pinpoint moments I noticed.

1. Rorschach going stealth mode on Veidt. The little drop-to-hang-to-drop move was just really fluid looking with no jarring edits or floaty wire work. It was one little action moment out of several cool ones (props to Snyder), but I just enjoyed it in particular.

2. Matthew Goode CANNOT do an American accent. It really was a strange experience listening to him switch back and forth.

3. Jackie Earl Haley is a bit of a badass.
