So, apparently I'm most like Adrian Veidt a.k.a. Ozymandias. Now, let's be honest, that isn't exactly a good thing, is it? At least his heart was in the right place, kinda... *starts work on monstrous plan to save humanity - from itself!!!*
I haven't seen the film yet, want to though; do read the comic, though, Clocket; it's excellent stuff. And then read "From Hell", if you can get your mitts on that - it's astonishing (don't see the film of "From Hell" though, or if you do, do so only to laugh at Johnny Depp's "cockerney" accent). I think one of the noteworthy things about Watchmen is that the two characters people seem to like/find the kewlest are the nihilistic mass-murderer/rapist and the violent fascist vigilante; y'know, old Alan probably did that on purpose...:)
Alan Moore's DWM connections serve to make him even cooler in my eyes - did he create the infamous Beep the Meep, or was that someone else? Anyway, I'm glad we don't have skunks to contend with over here - they sound like nasty little critters.
