Looks like V for Vendettais going to make everyone as absolutely angry as it's supposed to.

This makes me really happy as it's a comic that's irrationally important to me (I was introduced to it by a boyfriend when I was 18, and while it will no draw lots of focus not for its musing on terrorism and politics, to me it was this revelatory thing about identity and performance and gender and sexuality, and I can only hope all of those weird little facets/backstory make the leap to the big screen).

Who wants to bet that there will either be lots of vivid and bizarre discouse on trying to get this film bannd and/or that the release date will keep getting pushed (it's set for Nov. 4) because of world events.

Hot damn! I loved this graphic novel. Now I feel the need to go dig it out and reread it again.

They can't change the release date....

Because of the line "Remember, Remember, The Fifth Of November, The gunpowder treason and plot. I can think of no rteason, the gunpowder treason, should ever be forgot."

I'm excited and scared for this movie.

Yeah, they shouldn't change the release date because of that, but who knows. I'm thinking about how the release date for 28 Days Later kept getting shoved all over the place. On the plus side, the Wachowski Brothers have so much money they can do pretty much anything they want.

I didn't even know this was being made!

I can't wait to see it.

I'm really looking forward to seeing this; I loved the graphic novel.
