Nope nope nope, gotta say no to that one.

You're entitled to your opinion, even if it's wrong. But no.

Are the references in the book dated? Yes. It is a product of its time, before there was a full realization of what full on global nuclear/biochemical warfare would do to the planet. The movie is good, I enjoyed it. I wouldn't put it on par with the book. Even the Gaffigan theory doesn't work, because when I read the book it took me two hours, and then I took a nap

Thank you for listening to my TED talk

Thank you for almost respecting my opinion πŸ˜‚

I read the comics after seeing the movie, and couldn't get over how bitter and negative they are. The tone of the movie was much more my thing.

A reasonable choice in taste. Yeah, Alan Moore is… an intense individual

What's the Gaffigan theory? My web searching isn't giving me anything that makes sense to me.

I was riffing off of one of his old stand up routines.

Yeah the book was much better than the movie.
Oh really? You know what I liked about the movie? No reading. It only took two hours, and then I could take a nap

Ah, I see! Haha. Much obliged.
