Watch out Elizabeth Peyton, your neck is first.Next: Mike Benedetto (jackass, BAS film critic) reviews The Watchmen.IMPORTANT: be sure to stick around after the credits for a very special and heart rending public service announcement from Mike, that, much to his surprise, I actually did run in the show.
