you lost me with the squid remark

I hesitate to describe the squid, because you asked for no spoilers. But if you had read the book, I think you would know what the squid was, since it's rather significant to the climax of the story.

CapFan - The group that included Nite Owl II, The Comedian, Silk Spectre, Rorschach, Dr. Manhattan etc. was informally called "Crimebusters". The term "watchmen" refers to a term used by the public to decribe the vigilante situation. It comes from an old Latin phrase Quis custodiet ipsos custodes? (who watches the watchmen?). It basically means "Who will protect us from the protectors?" This theme surfaces a lot in comics, i.e. what happens when superheroes get too strong or powerful for their own good?

Anyway, enough pontificating... I am trying to be psyched for the film, I have my IMAX tickets and my butt will be in the center seat next Friday at 7:00.
