Re: V for Vendetta
saw this last night. loved it.
it's of course not as good as the comic (they never are though), but i think the really important bits were recreated wonderfully and the changes, while not all of them necessary, at least made sense. it certainly captures the spirit of the original works.
it'll be interesting to hear from folks who haven't read it first to get their take on it.

it definitely proves how terrible a writer/director George Lucas is by how great Natalie Portman is in this (now that she has something to work with). really, even people who don't enjoy the film should dig her performance.

also, it's a good thing this is set in England, cuz there's no way a movie with terrorist bombings of a DC building would get released over here.

oh, and the "revolution without dancing" line is just begging to be sampled
