    You've got to admit... it was funny.

    V for Vendetta? Any good?

    Anyone seen it? What did you think?
    Look again at that dot. That's here. That's home. That's us. On it everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives. The aggregate of our joy and suffering, thousands of confident religions, ideologies, and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilization, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every mother and father, hopeful child, inventor and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every "superstar," every "supreme leader," every saint and sinner in the history of our species lived there--on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam.

    Yes...yes, it's very good. Though tv conservative pundits like Joe Scarborough on MSNBC thinks its 100% anti-American bullcrap and pro-terrorism. the film doesn't follow everything that was in the original graphic novel but keeps the spirit of the book intact.

    I wonder how you'd react if there was suddenly news that Spider Jerusalem and The city were to be adapted as an HBO mini-series.

    HOLY SH*T!

    I saw this Sunday, and although I know it's a matter of time till someone probably comes along and takes a **** on the movie, I will say I unabashedly loved it!

    I saw it on IMAX (note to self, 3 story tall close ups of british dentition = scariest thing I've ever seen), but the experience was amazing, and while I can't say the updating of the story was completely faithful to the original, I truly believe it bears the flame forward.

    I'll see this again if I get more folks to go see it. I'll also own the DVD.

    Damn...

    Saw it last Thursday... Loved most of it, but felt the ending got a tad Hollywood/contrived... Good stuff though!

    One thing I noticed on this movie. The ruler or what ever he is called, they dilated his pupils. perhaps to make him look more sinister?

    it would depent entirely on casting. there are so very few people that could do jerusalem without making it idoitic.
