His "wealth" will be standing at the funeral pyre willing to trade all material splendor for his return. That request comes, perhaps, on another plane of understanding.<br /><br />We are all damaged goods...together we refine our raw humanity into well sculpted tools of survival. An artisan tending the home fires will always be able to master the blazing inferno the world presents to us as opportunity.

The character portrayals are spot on, I don't think anyone could have portrayed Rorschach any better. Patrick Wilson's portrayal of Nightowl was better than I could have hoped for, and Malin Ackerman's butt... fantastic. <BR/><BR/>If you read the graphic novel, you'd know what to expect and if the book wasn't for you, you wouldn't have felt compelled to spend 3 hours of your life on this movie. Read the graphic novel and let me know what you think... one of the most faithful comic book adaptations I've ever seen. 4 stars...Sgt.

It's familiar "girl falls for vampire" fare. I agree reading drek is not edifying, but it's hard to hold back the tide if the book is merely bad but not particularly offensive. Some stuff is so bad it's simply not allowed. For the rest, I insist on one real book for one junk book. Hopefully, with time, better taste will develop. Just now my 13 year old danced down the steps, waving a just finished "Diary of a Young Girl." So I have to go to the bookstore and buy the next Twilight book.
