In the late 80's and early 90's, I got used to being mocked and even bullied for my appreciation for the works of Tolkien. Ten years later, I found myself in a squadron of blond teenage girls quoting in Sindarin at one another and arguing over which hobbit was the best.
I have an uncanny feeling that in a few months, the blond teenage girls will all be trying to dress like Sally and/or Laurie Jupiter and quoting from the wit and wisdom of Rorschach at one another. I suppose it's true that if you live long enough everything cool hits the mass market.
Anyway, Wil Wheaton says the movie doesn't suck, and I gather his opinion counts for something.
