Watchmen on Twitter

Well it looks like someone has taken the Rorschach persona on Twitter along with the rest of the Watchmen characters. He is using the status updates to recite dialog exactly from the graphic novel. Pretty clever. Rorschach is like the bad-ass / psycho / vigilante / detective of the book and above he lets Dr. Manhattan know what he thinks is going on. A pivotal point of the story actually.

I am a big fan of the graphic novel. The movie looks like it'll be good but the Watchmen is a vast, complicated story with character back stories, flashbacks and what made it for me was the storytelling technique in the book. I guess we'll just see how it translates to the movie.

BTW, I like how whoever is operating the Rorschach username on Twitter has like a dominatrix he's following. Haha.
