Gorging Myself on SPN Fics

Reading thenyxie's Ouroboros, I'm overwhelmed by the picture of Dean doing the Rose Tyler Time Vortex things. Seriously, how cool and how gorgeous would it be if Dean were the antichrist and get to do a glowing god-like trance thing?

I've just gone through all the SPN RPS podfics in the podfic archive and is making my way through the FPS podfics. They're like a short-cut for me now since I have no idea what the must-reads or hall-of-fame in this fandom are. Sometimes I just wish SPN fics are as easy to navigate as the SV fics were...

Watchmen

Watchmen is one of the rare books I've read in recent years that really overwhelmed me. I wish I'd gone to the cinema with someone who's read the graphic novel rather than someone who's expecting a live action version of The Incredibles. But anyway...

I really love the opening. "Unforgettable" is just so apt for it. Now I just have to re-read the graphic novel to see if the schmoopiness is too much.  I love the opening credits, which I've already watched a dozen times before going to the cinema. Before Watchmen, I'd only known about the JFK assassination. I wonder if the others in the cinema knew the other scenes were real/refer to real events too. 

And I love the clown joke, which I'd been afraid may not make it into the movie, and which is one of the most emotionally effective scenes here. But the pacing of many other scenes were either too rushed (too much/compressed info-dump - Veidt suffers from this especially) or too dragged out (everything after the TV shows the whole world unites against Dr Manhattan) to have the emotional impact the story deserves. The compression of the psychologist's scenes is a real waste. If only the movie had kept the killing of Rorschah short and sharp, ended right there and given the screen time to flesh out the middle part instead.
