V? what's the problem? you don't like Lizard Aliens who come to earth asking for help but are actually harvesting humans for food? You have a problems with Marc Singer (Beast Master) and Robert England (A Nightmare On Elm Street)?

What isn't rebellion? A modern parable about the Holocaust in which Scientists are Jews?

oh, wait, sorry, Reptoids, my bad.

I think he was refering to the film V For Vendetta

While I see myself becoming a huge fan of this movie (as well as the graphic novel, which I read in the early 1990s), one reviewer basically summed the film up as "Rage Against The Machine By The Machine"

While in North America folks are going to see false parallels with G W Bush, I'm realy curious what kind of response it will get in the sectarian areas of Britain and Northern Ireland?

but i'm confused, hollywood tells me that is rebellion...and aren't they the founts of wisdom???

Yup. The other "V" doesn't have a circle around it.

I expect to enjoy it quite a bit myself. But like "Fight Club" there will be throngs of people that will fancy themselves rebels for a while when in fact movies like this serve the opposite effect by letting people have a fantasy of rebellion to satiate their discontent.

Well, that series did have it moments; I think Jane Badler (the evil lizard queen Diana) was 1983's poster girl for pubescent villanous wet dreams
