A nurse famously photographed being kissed by an American sailor in New York's Times Square in 1945 to celebrate the end of World War Two has died at the age of 91, her family said on Tuesday.

That is my favorite image.

I hope her afterlife is not filled with total strangers grabbing her and kissing her hard.

That image says so much.

I love that image. It's possibly an Icon of Icons.

Because the only good thing in the Watchmen movie were the opening credits (and various fanvids) I really loved the transformative image of Silhouette and the nurse there (I hate WB for pulling all those videos).

Awesome. I have to confess I went and watched this right after I read the news. I still think this opening credit sequence is the finest five minutes of film shot this decade.

No question.

I sincerely believe that my opinion of the movie was significantly upgraded by its first fifteen minutes.

Brilliant you are!

Thank you!

It's amazing that such a crap film has what are possibly the best opening credit and sequence of any movie from the past few years. Pity the actual film didn't live up to it's own grandeur.
