But I really do want to see this. :nod:

It's an awesome movie.

Really a knock on the Bush administration.

I went to see it cause I thought it would be a stupid action movie. When I left my brain hurt.

It was amazing though. I need to see it again.

Goodbye you liar,
Well you sipped from the cup but you don't own up to anything
Then you think you will inspire
Take apart your head
(and I wish I could inspire)
Take apart your demons, then you add it to the list.

haven't seen it yet, but entertainment weekly sez:

Will audiences follow [V], cheering the implicit detonation of America's institutions? Or will they find it all a bit... jejune? Coming out of V for Vendetta, a friend of mine called it "radical" and "subversive." He was awestruck with disbelief that a film with a harlequin terrorist as its hero could actually be released by a major American studio. I was awestruck at his naïveté in a world where fight-the-power anarchy is now marketed as a fashionable identity statement -- by the corporations that helped raise a generation on bands like Rage Against the Machine, by the armchair-leftist bloggers who flog the same righteousness day after day. V for Vendetta has a playful-demon vitality, but it's designed to let political adolescents of every age congratulate themselves. It's rage against the machine by the machine.

It's good, but it could have been better. You understood the message completely half way through the picture, but then they dragged the same thing on for a little too long before wrapping up something we all knew earlier on.

It's pretty slow during the middle of the movie.

This has been moved up into my favourite movie. :drool:

Queens Of The Stone Age-Someone's In The Wolf

Once you're lost in twillights's blue
You don't find your way, the way finds you...

Tempt the fates, beware the smile
It hides all the teeth, my dear,
What's behind them...

So glad you could stay
Forever

He steps between the trees, a crooked man
There's blood on the blade
Don't take his hand

You warm by the firelight, in twilight's blue
Shadows creep & dance the walls
He's creeping too..

So glad you could stay
Forever

Is yours going to be about Gummy Bears?

If so, I'm there.

Also are you really making a movie?

This movie wasn't bad, though not as intricate and poignant as the graphic novel (so I hear from friends who love it/I'd say from reading the first 35 or so pages).

Soon I'll be able to purchase/produce these types of things. However, it would have to be a made for TV movie, but still.

Also, is it just me, or have the two of you not posted here in a long time?

This thread says it has new posts on it whenever I come to the CM.

But it doesn't.
