Weekend Highlights: Halloween Edition

Picture 1We are lucky enough to have an amazing Halloween party to attend every year thanks to Augi’s work, Agencynet. They always throw the best parties in general, but really take it to another level when Halloween rolls by. Augi and I tried our best to hide our costumes this year, but a few people may have figured it out. We decided several months ago to go as The Comedian and the Silk Spectre I from The Watchmen. I immediately knew that I would have to contact my friends at Terribly Girly Photography in order for the look to be perfected! I was able to book Jenn D., who is amazing (no joke), for both my hair and makeup and she rocked it! I can’t tell you how many people asked me if it was a hairpiece or a wig. They could not believe it was my real hair. I think we did a great job and so far it’s been my favorite Halloween costume ever. I actually wish I could wear my hair like that on the daily! I think I was born in the wrong era. 😉

I don’t want to leave Augi behind – he did a great job on his costume as well. Not pictured above is his cigar and eye mask, which really complete the outfit. My only complaint was that terrible mustache he had to rock for the week leading up to Halloween – I could barely look at him! But enough gushing, I’ll let some of the photos from the party speak for themselves!

Who Watches the Watchmen?

Well…I do!

A group of us (9 to be exact) went Saturday night to the Aventura theater to watch Watchmen in one of their IMAX theaters. I had the pleasure of reading the comic before sitting down to watch the movie, and I am so glad I did. My first opinion of the movie was that someone who did not read the comic would probably not understand it or hate it altogether because it did a great job replicating the comic, which tended to be a bit disjointed. With that said, I absolutely loved it. I thought it did the comic great justice and really nailed a lot of the main characters, especially Rorschach. Some scenes were panel-perfect and a lot of the dialogue stayed true to the original. I was pleasantly surprised to see that a lot of scenes I thought would be omitted were not and I was very happy with the intro – overall, I give it two thumbs up and would love to see it again, 3 hours and all!

But, I had some gripes although few (warning: SPOILERS under cut):

Lovable Friday!

Watchmen Premiere
1. Watchmen Premiere

Finally after what feels like a terribly long wait, the Watchmen movie premieres tonight!!! I’ve been reading the comic (almost done with all 12) and must say it is amazing. I’ve heard early reviews already and the movie seems to live up to the greatness of the comic, which is quite the feat. The hubs and I along with about 10 of our friends (no joke) have tickets for Saturday at the IMAX theater. Much excitement.
