Little did he know he was getting sex and Dr. Manhattan's "twigs and berries" as I saw tweeted this weekend, lol :) He actually KNEW it was R-Rated, but figured it was a comic book, so it would probably be like other R-rated movies: violence and the f-word.

Could have made a ton more money this weekend if it was PG-13 and cleaned up a tad, but then it wouldnt be true to the book. Movie was spectacular, really well done, its a great story. Was a great time, thanks Shawn and Mike for letting me tag along! FYI, Capri had a great slew of previews ahead fo the movie.

I think alot of people are going to be freaked out over this movie simply for the reason you mentioned....nobody outside of comic geeks (me included) knows who The Watchmen are.
