saw the watchmen. the possible mutual destruction of nuclear holocaust is kept at bay by the very blue doctor manhattan as his ex-superhero friends suspect a superhero killer on the loose. in spite of the ponderous tone and the easy pacing of the film that explored the background stories of all the characters and some characters (roscharch) being quite fascinating the political undercurrent of the film just seemed dated. also the actors just didn’t seem right.
What horrible days in college right now. i do not remember my parents ever coming to school or to college to defend my behavior or my grades. if anything went awry it was always assumed that the blame rested surely on my shoulders and not on the institution. today the situation is completely different. everything seems to be negotiable. the student is made even more childlike and helpless as it becomes the responsibility of everyone around to make sure that they attend, perform at work and go to the next year. the student has no responsibility towards education, it would seem. it is that time of the year again- and i dread the next few days with the complaints, explanations, excuses, tears, anger, accusations. exhausting.
