And (with noted exceptions), if a Usnet poster mentions it, he hasn't
seen the movie.

On a similar note, take a shot if the word "squid" makes an appearance
in a review, as the very mention of the word will mean we're in fanboy
territory

I can see that I'm not the only one who think's the film is gay porn.

Only one scene with boobies and about 5000 shiny blue penises. I

Good chance too if someone doesn't mention it, it's not a comment on
the film. It means he/she might be too busy incorporating the big blue
penis into the inevitable adult fan fiction no doubt being feverishly
written at this very moment.

I dunno. Dr. Swellenshrink didn't get laid... or even a blue-job...

FWIW, that means it's a Watchmen Review drinking game rather than a
Watchmen Movie drinking game.

Wow, I admire your misplaced confidence that there'll be (m)any men
writing Watchmen slash fanfic. As a rule, it's the women who write
the slash fanfic because guys (even gays) would rather watch porn.

...Yeah, but there's something gaily ironic about someone calling
itself "Bluuuu Rajah" whining about blue wangs flopping all over the
big screen. Only problem is, in this particular troll's case, is I
can't figure out if it's penis envy or penis desire that's fueling his
raging hormones.

...This was pretty much the case for "K/S" fanfic in Trek fandom for
the first decade before Roddenberry made it clear in the TOS
novelization that it was illogical for Kirk to mate with someone who
only came in heat once every seven years. As more and more male
homosexuals began "coming out of the closet", the number of slashfics
written by males increased to the point where current estimates place
it about equal with the number authored by women.

Doesn't make any of them worth reading, but at least there's
equality...:-P

Well, there are 'better' examples of live-action/animated entertainment out
there (ie Daria, Batman:TAS; Robocop, The Negotiator) but I'd be lying if I
said I didn't enjoy my share of 'forbidden fruit'.

*remembers his first 'hypnosis' video*

Brilliance exists for its own sake and the world, however you view it, is
better for it.

who gets more than a chuckle when animated boobies bounce.

I'm an oddball and I'm proud of it.
