Gonna try really hard to go on midnight, but if not then, the weekend. I'm flying home on Friday, so if I don't see it Thursday night, I'll have to wait until Saturday.

It depends.  If any of my kids ever show any interest I'll probably see it on DVD eventually.  If not (and they haven't yet), I may never see it.

There's no option for 'What is Watchmen?'

It's a movie based on probably the most beloved graphic novel/comic book series of all time. It starts out as a murder mystery and follows the adventures of several extremely messed up people in superhero costumes. It's also set in an alternative reality where Richard Nixon is still President because the United States won the Vietnam War.

Sometime after opening weekend.  I rarely go to see a movie the day/weekend it comes out.  Too crowded/noisy.

Tomorrow is the day for me. It's been getting fairly mixed reviews so far. Many of the established critics seem to hate it. I'm hoping for the best.

If it sucks, at least I'll always have the book.

Interestingly, at least according to Rotten Tomatoes, all the print media reviewers seem to hate it, while all the blogs love it.

Opening weekend (otherwise it would've been midnight, but I'm still at school).

Well, Roger Ebert loved it... for whatever that is worth.

Yeah, I hope they add that review to Rotten Tomatoes soon.

Are you going to make a midnight showing?

Yeah, a friend and I just Fandango'd us some tickets. My last class before the break is tomorrow afternoon, and it ends at 5:30, so I plan to go home, eat, and take a 4 or 5 hour nap, then head to the theater.

Nice, we have fairly similar plans. I still have another week before break though.

Tomorrow night, around midnight.

I guess my friends and I are just... "Nite Owls"...

Sorry.
