The first trailer for The Watchmen flic was just released today. I'm totally skeptical that anything worthwhile can be pulled off as far as an adaptation goes, but I'll probably end up seeing it when it comes out. Some of the characters look dead on (Dr. Manhattan, Nite-Owl, Silk Spectre, Rorschach), but Ozymandias and The Comedian look pretty lame and unconvincing. Aside from those issues, it seems impossible for the film to include all of the non-plot related details that make the graphic novel so enticing.

Holy. Effing. Ballz. Meet my new hero...Brother Bonizzi. His album is mine.

i just picked up McDonough and Braungart's book Cradle to Cradle and noticed in the back that chi-town is listed as one of their partners. This is McDonough's overview of the partnership. It's a little lacking on details, but as far as I know Chicago is the only city that has seriously considered Cradle to Cradle for city renovation.

also, the book is freaking awesome from a fetishist's perspective. it smells like no other book i have ever smelled and it is almost infinitely eraseable. i underlined a bunch of stuff on one page with a fine pen, took a wet washcloth, and successfully scrubbed off all the marks and underlinings without damage to either 'paper' or ink. pretty pretty cool...
