The biggest laugh Watchmen got at the sold-out, 9 a.m., IMAX suburban-theater show I went to on Saturday occurred [SOMETHING OF A SPOILER ALERT HERE -- LOOK AWAY IF YOU MUST!] when the Lee Iacocca-businessman-figure said, "Free is just another word for socialist." It was the happily derisive laugh of a crowd that was totally into the movie, and which also seemed well aware of the recent effort to label the Obama stimulus package as "socialist" -- and the audience clearly thought the use of that supposedly-inflammatory word was a joke.
So wait a sec: Does it say they were laughing at how it sounds like it's referring to Obama (supposedly), or how it's referring to people using the word "socialist" in regards to Obama (supposedly)?
Do they realize Veidt waste bad guy? Tat would make Iacocca one of the good guys. So wile they were laughing they were actually supporting te bad guy again.
