words
I am looking at the stars. They are so far away, and their light takes so long to reach us. All we ever see of stars is their old photographs.

In my opinion, the existence of life is a highly overrated phenomenon. Just look around you. Mars gets along perfectly well without so much as a micro-organism. Here it's a constantly changing topographical map, flowing and shifting around the globe in ripples ten thousand years wide. So tell me how would all of this be greatly improved by an oil pipeline? By a shopping mall?

I prefer the stillness here. I am tired of Earth. These people. I am tired of being caught in the tangle of their lives. They claim their labors are to build a heaven, yet their heaven is populated with horrors. Perhaps the world is not made, perhaps nothing is made; a clock, without a craftsmen. It’s too late, always has been, always will be, too late.

This is really beautiful synergy that I'm not sure I would have ever thought of on my own, but I can see the Doctor drifting farther and farther into the apathy regarding humans that Manhattan describes so beautifully and hauntingly in the monologue you used. I love how Billy Crudup voiced that - so quiet and soft yet dispassionate. And this was a gorgeous execution of a brilliant idea.

I noticed above that you said you want to make a Watchmen video but don't have a song - well, I was tinkering with making a Watchmen video and the song I was going to use was Half Life by the Sneaker Pimps (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XzULN_uMBBI). It was going to be a video about the Comedian. Just thought I'd toss that out there in case it inspired you! The Sneaker Pimps have a lot of vidworthy songs, actually.

Thank you. I still adore what Crudup did that that monologue and the entire character.

Neat song. I have a massive To Vid list, but that might be something I'll look into. Thanks. :)
