A friend of mine was in class and had a sub teaching that day. She noticed he had a "Watchmen" shirt and asked if he saw the movie (it was out for about a week at the time). He said no, but he read the graphic novel. She asked him if she think it would be appropriate to take her seven year old boy, who wanted to see it. He told her it's a deeper graphic novel, but nothing really too voilent. A few days latter we see the movie.............Pretty sure that teacher was furious. But at least to be fair, the movie was a lot more gory than the novel.
