So I borrowed my roommate's copy of V for Vendetta and curled up with some quality mending for a quiet Friday night in the dorm. I know, I know, the excitement of my life overwhelms even me sometimes. Anyway, so yeah, I'd not seen the movie before, and I'll say, it was decent. I dunno about rave-worthy, as so many of my friends seem to think, but decent. The Bush-Cheney parallels seemed apparent in all their wonderful sliminess, although I actually found that distracting me from the actual movie. Kind of like I remember thinking when I read Animal Farm---when the allegory's too apparent, it distracts you from what's actually going on. Well, me anyway. I can't really speak for you, I guess. I'd really like to get my hands on a copy of the book (book, graphic novel, comic book, whatever the hell it is) just to see how different it is, because I seem to remember hearing that a lot of stuff got changed.
Anyway, a few things I just have to point out:
-Good god Natalie Portman, put a bra on! Shit, I thought she was gonna poke somebody's eye out there.
-The whole slo-mo fight scene in the subway station was both cheesy and disgusting. I'm sorry, I know it was the same people that did the Matrix, so I should be expecting such things, but....no. Sorry, I'm just not a fan.
-Where did she get those roses to put around the body?
-And wait, I thought glasses girl got killed?!!
-Oh, and the Rolling Stones' Street Fighting Man over the end credits? Whoa shock. I think I like it though....Good song.
And yeah. That's about all I got on the subject.
On a completely unrelated note, click here to see Stephen Colbert sing. Kind of a long clip, but worth it, I assure you.
