<p>I love anything <em>Watchmen</em>. Watchmen bedsheets. Watchmen <a href="http://foodiefriday.wordpress.com/2009/11/29/watchmen-cupcakes/">cupcakes</a>. Watchmen <a href="http://www.interrobangstudios.com/potluck/index.php?strip_id=959">babies</a>. That movie. I guess I&#8217;m obligated to own this book:</p>
<p><strong><em>Minutes to Midnight: Twelve Essays on Watchmen</em></strong> <em>examines Watchmen  from a variety of perspectives to uncover surprising answers to many  questions. What does it reveal about the history of scientific theory?  How is the atom bombing of Hiroshima refracted through its pages? Does  Watchmen’s murder mystery measure up to the standards of Raymond  Chandler? Is the depiction of Rorschach an unfair caricature of the  philosophy of Steve Ditko? Where are the secrets of Captain Metropolis  and the Minutemen revealed? Was the Comedian right all along? Who  shouldn’t read Watchmen? What are the limits of Watchmen and do they  extend beyond a major motion picture?</em></p>
<p><span id="more-1508"></span></p>
<p>The essays:</p>
<p><span id="intelliTXT"> </span></p>
<ul>
<li>Reassembling the Components in the Correct Sequence:  Why You Shouldn’t Read Watchmen First, by Walter Hudsick</li>
<li>Bringing Light to the World:  Watchmen from Hiroshima to Manhattan, by Peter Sanderson</li>
<li>The End Is Nigh:  The Limits of Watchmen, by Geoff Klock </li>
<li>The Smartest Man in the Morgue:  Watchmen and “Twelve Notes on the Mystery Story,” by Chad Nevett</li>
<li>Somebody Has to Save the World:  Captain Metropolis and Role Playing Watchmen, by Tim Callahan</li>
<li>58 Varieties:  Watchmen and Revisionism, Julian Darius</li>
<li>Some Different Sort of Time:  Watchmen as Cinema, by Patrick Meaney</li>
<li>At Play Amidst the Strangeness and Charm:  Watchmen and the Philosophy of Science, by William Ritchie</li>
<li>The Last Laugh:  Understanding Watchmen’s Big Joke, by John Loyd</li>
<li>How the Ghost of You Clings:  Watchmen and Music, by Mary Borsellino </li>
<li>Blotting Out Reality:  Questioning Rorschach, by Gene Phillips </li>
<li>Nothing Ever Ends:  Structural Symmetries in Watchmen, by Jon Cormier </li>
</ul>
<p>(To answer the question posed in the official description: there are no limits to Watchmen. Like I said, cupcakes.)</p>

<p><em>&#8220;There are endless creative possibilities to build upon the many significant successes already achieved by my colleagues Kevin Tsujihara and the Home Entertainment Group in the videogame, home video and direct-to-platform arenas and Bruce Rosenblum and the Television Group in live-action, animated and digital series.

It&#8217;s really easy, just click, no registration needed.</p>
<p>Watchmen has nominations in 12 other categories, but I don&#8217;t care if you vote for any of them. Just make sure you vote for Jackie Earle Haley.</p>
<p>Apparently, this is his only shot at winning any award for the Rorschach performance, and <em>that is just not right.</em> <strong>Vote every day.</strong> This is not justice.</p>
