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.

I posted it in the current events forum because i'm going to turn this into a current events thread.

long jonny, it is in fact a knock on ALL administration.

ahh, sorry. Didn't understand that since all you did was recommend that people go see it.

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.

Rusty and I saw it a couple days ago, we both really enjoyed and think you should all go see it. :nod:

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:

wait until my movie gets released.

Is yours going to be about Gummy Bears?

If so, I'm there.

Also are you really making a movie?

we're going to write a script, if just for fun.

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?

mosaik · Post by **mosaik** » 3/20/2006, 3:22 pm

we take breaks.

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

But it doesn't.
