To him, the movie adaptation of "V for Vendetta," which opens on Friday, is not the biggest platform yet for his ideas: it is further proof that Hollywood should be avoided at all costs. "I've read the screenplay," Mr. Moore said. "It's rubbish."

Even the NY Times pannned the flick. Said it should have been titled 'Natalie Portman gets a haircut'!

I'll be damned if the villain isn't dressed to look like an Orthodox Jew, and I wonder who is responsible for that.

I know, it's really sad. I have the comics, and although a lot of people say that Moore was writing against Thatcher's England in them, I didn't think that was obvious from the writing. It was less contextualized, and was more of a general dystopia. Alan Moore is kind of an oddball, but he's a great comic writer.

Makes me glad we went to see the OTHER movie released this weekend, "Find Me Guilty". Vin Diesel actually showed some acting ability in it, unlike, apparently, Pat-me Ami-half-dallah.
