there was no instrumental melody in Bob Dylan’s “All Along the Watchtower”

I love Pianos. Cute chicks who play the Piano. Starbuck. Which means the latest episode of Battlestar Galactica had it all.

Hallelujah Watchmen

Tonight I went to a screening of "Watchmen". The most surprising aspect was the best use on a soundtrack of a Leonard Cohen song. I was pleasantly surprised he was on the soundtrack at all. Jackie Earle Haley is to Rorschach what Heath Ledger was to The Joker: Born to play that part. Malin Akerman do me. The cast was perfect but it was Rorschach who got the whole theater to cheer in unison. Of note: How the hell this movie got an R rating is beyond me. It should be NC-17 and I feel sorry for the parents who take their kids thinking this is just some "superhero movie". Second Note: The movie made me remember growing up in the Cold War like no other movie has.
