...Maybe Watchmen is one of those cult films that doesn't expand beyond the true believers. It probably won't make even alternative movie history. It certainly contains its share of popcorn breaks: hit the concession stand whenever Dan and Laurie start their mooning. But it bravely pursues its agenda with a monomaniacal grandeur, on the order of Speed Racer and Synecdoche, New York. (Loyal readers will understand that I mean this as a compliment.)

No need to look at the chaches in the straw hats, shouting and making bad jokes. They think they’re earning vacations in the Caribbean, but they’re really just...
...Boston and Cambridge and local taxpayers. Because Harvard is one of the largest employers in Massachusetts, any substantial layoffs at Harvard will dramatically affect neighboring communities—those that don’t have the most expensive money managers and billions of dollars in an endowment to jump-start their financial recovery. Harvard teaches its students to be responsible citizens, but there is nothing responsible about the richest university in the world conducting massive layoffs that will only add to the already hurting economy...
