So...
Well, you can put those fears about Watchmen to rest, since Frank Miller isn't involved in making Watchmen. Alan Moore, the author of Watchmen, is having nothing to do with the movie, although illustrator David Gibbons is. Zach Snyder, the director of 300, is also the director of Watchmen, but as bad as 300 was, that was more due to Miller's influence, not Snyder's.

What do radio stations NOT play enough?
Lovely piece of rhetoric, but could you provide an argument for how it is in any way, shape, or form, true?

Who the hell did you hear theorize that, Rush Limbaugh?

What do radio stations NOT play enough?
Yeah, metal is pretty much dead as a pop genre, but Sirius does have a metal station. IMO, popular music has become so fragmented that I don't listen to mainstream radio stations anymore, since they only care about putting out lowest common denominator acts like Nickelback. Niche stations allow much more range in what is on the air, and satellite radio is much better for that than standard AM/FM.

Revenge is coming
I wouldn't go that far. Watchmen and Wolverine top my list for 2009, but Transformers 2 vaulted itself into 3rd place with that trailer. Bad. Ass.

Ever been overtly hit on by the same sex in public?
People tend to be less friendly in urban areas than rural or suburban areas, but I think it has more to do with evolved behavior than "making an impression." If you're living in a small town where everyone knows each other, you'll probably see someone again, so it makes more sense to be polite and friendly. If you're in a big city, you could hypothetically pick a person at random and punch them in the face. Assuming you got away, there's a good chance you'd never see that person again, much less have them retaliate. In that situation, it's better to just be imposing (rude) to fend off would-be muggers.

Hundreds of times. But even when you exclude the posters on C&G, yeah, I've been hit on by guys a few times. It's really no big deal, unless you're afraid your own latent homosexuality is going to be revealed by another guy's advances.

TV shows ... after the original run, etc.
I've been turning to cancelled series more and more over the past couple years, and almost never follow any shows that are still airing anymore. Some personal favorites: M*A*S*H, Arrested Development, The West Wing, Life on Mars (BBC) Plus a ton of anime shows: Code Geass, Death Note, Trigun, Neon Genesis Evangelion, Fullmetal Alchemist, and of course, Cowboy Bebop

North Carolina - what's it like?
I don't know much about specific restaurants in Raleigh or Durham, but it is a pretty diverse area, so I'm sure there are ones around. I do know plenty of great places in Chapel Hill. Pizza places (college town-duh) Mexican, lots of diverse Asian places (Chinese, Vietnamese, Thai, Indian) a really good Ethiopian restaurant, and a solid mediterranean deli, aptly named Mediterranean Deli. I've never actually been to the most popular Italian place in Chapel Hill, 411 West, but I've heard good things.
