I am bound and determined to see the Watchmen movie while it's still in theaters. I had the odd pleasure of reading the brilliant graphic novel last semester. I left the experience thoroughly impressed, if a little jolted and feeling slightly guilty for being part of the human race. I have long awaited the arrival of the film, and now that it's here no one will go with me to see it.
My solution is: a) a bit of a revelation; b) getting me through this week; and c) magnificent.
I have decided to...go...alone.
Because, oh yeah! I don't have to have other people with me all the time (what a wonderful thing!). I cannot put into words how much I'm looking forward to my date with me.
I'm not really sure why I'm so excited to see this movie, but I know this is the one I have to see. I have heard there's a lot of sex in it, which is fun (especially with costumed vigilantes!), or maybe I'm just looking forward to seeing a movie damning the human race, but whatever the reason, I will be sorely disappointed if it sucks.
That said, I have talked to people about it, those who have and have not read the novel. Those who did read it, said it's definitely worth seeing, even though they messed up the ending.
So, all in all, if I must go sit alone to watch the film adaptation of a comic book, with only my $10 small bag of popcorn (because, face it, you really just can't beat movie theater popcorn) and smuggled-in Coke for company, then I am pretty damn sure it's going to be a good night.

I love going to 'certain' movies alone. There are some I just can't bring myself to sit and watch alone though, such as Secret Window. Johnny Depp was so good in that but I had to have my husband's shoulder to hide in during the very suspenseful parts. But there was no way I could even ask him to go see Sex and the City with me so I went alone. Enjoy your date with YOU! It promises to be an adventure!
