V for Vendetta

[rm]

plot change spoilers here from alterjess -- don't look if you don't want to know, and don't holler at her or me about it if you do and you didn't.

Ugh. I am really worried about this now. Could it be all they've gotten right is the tagline? I really trusted the Wachowski Brothers not to fuck up the sexual/identity politics of this thing, but now I am concerned.

Interesting point. Are they still brothers? I recall a story that one of them went through SRS after the 2nd Matrix movie.

I had previously ignored Alan Moore's criticism of the film, because the trailers actually looked good, while clearly better than the wretchedness of From Hell and LoEG (which still mildly amused me because Stuart Townsend managed to play the exact same character he did in Queen of the Damned, but he was slightly less wretched at it in LoEG), it sounds like they might honestly have screwed up V. Ugh.

AAARGH!

There will be much frothing at the mouth later when I can be coherent.
