It's been deleted, but the LF goldmine had a pretty fantastic Friedman.txt thread going. I wish I still had some of the quotes they found. Friedman is great if you've ever wanted to see someone use every metaphor at once forever.

Didn't Anders Loves Maria use "bork" to mean anal?

It didn't mean it, it was just the sound effect! That's the sound anal sex makes. Bork bork bork.

I haven't, no. I saw it a couple of times in theatres (I had to go a second time- the first showing was ruined because every single incident of violence or sex was met with gales of laughter from everybody in the audience, which started out as annoying and became disturbing right around the rape scene, which drew much laughter), and the impression I got both from the way Snyder handles Rorschach and 300 is that Zach Snyder thinks that Leonidas and Rorschach are loving awesome badass heroes. I didn't get a whiff of satire from 300, which may be my own fault for rolling my eyes constantly through it, and Watchmen seemed like it major-league missed the point.

There's also an extra line for Night Owl in the movie that isn't in the graphic novel, which turns Ozymandias from "morally ambiguous" to "obvious villain, obviously." Snyder really missed the point.
