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.

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.

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.

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.

This thread's shadow makes me angry.
