1. It's rather ironic that a Fox-owned channel is showing "V for Vendetta".....
..... since the BTN network in the movie is modeled after Faux News.

I can agree and then disagree, right? :)

7. Coincidence that they are showing it now?
Who owns the FX network?

8. Probably my favorite movie ever.
And it's not even a musical. Well, not *entirely*.

10. Fron what I've heard...
...the movie is more attuned to the current state of things than the graphic novel was. Then again, V was written during the Thatcher era in England, which explains the parallels that do exist, as well as the discrepancies.

I also have a V mask sitting around in here somewhere. I bought it to show my solidarity with... certain persons, nameless here forevermore.

12. I love that fucking movie...
On the surface, it's Rambo for anarchists and socialists, but it has some much deeper political and philosophical implications.
