I know there's already email talk about the next curry night and trying to combining it with a viewing of the Watchmen movie - but I just wanted to underline how fricking excited and slightly weird I feel about it about the thought of it.
We are all around the same age and I knew most of the Dukes when Watchmen came out on paper, and I'll put money on us all getting our copies from the same store - Forever People - and bagging them up after reading, too. And some of us were in a band named after the lead character. Although Rorschach's pop-punk riffing and knockabout love of stoopid wasn't quite as well captured by Alan Moore as it could have been. (Does this, by the way, make Two Busted Flippers a collector's item?)
So, anyway, it feels a little like a watershed moment, it coming out on film and all that, after all this time. Kind of makes me feel really old, and 16 again.
PS - I want to post a music track here - how?
