I just finished watching The Watchers and while the movie was fairly good, it had the same problem as the first Hulk movie. It was just too long. The movie is almost three hours of jumbled story lines, flash backs, and character development which explains why so many people recommended reading the graphic novels in advance. I felt lost before the opening credits even finished because they were flashing through still shots of the characters and I had no idea what was going on. I think they easily could have trimmed an hour off without losing much of the story. A lot of the scenes seemed to be just random tangents like some kind of random shout out to the original works.
I finished the first two pages of my homework from the JLPT book. It bugs me that the teacher went through and strip out the answer keys and the CDs. I mean, I can see taking the keys so she can assign pages for homework but why take the CD from the cover? How am I supposed to pretend like I'm practicing the listening portion with no audio tracks? All the book has is blank images so without the audio instruction, question, and multiple choice it's all pretty moot. I made it through two pages because that was the goal I set for the day. I'm thinking tomorrow I will have to try to accomplish a little more or I will just be wasting my days off.
