Watchmen starts right off with one of the best opening credits ever. It sets the tone and eliminates the need for tons of back story. It’s also brilliantly edited. The other thing I liked is a particular scene that I’ll just include on a list of equally impressive scenes in other movies. In no particular […]
You owe royalties to Pixar and everyone who worked on The Incredibles after yesterday’s episode and the babysitter scene. Seriously dudes. Thanks, Cathy
