Hollywood just keeps rolling out the hits.

Instead of vanquishing terror, all of Britain sides with the terrorist hero of this movie. They celebrate his murder of all the top officials in government, his blowing up of the Houses of Parliament and other government buildings.

Reminds me of Natalie Portman's lines in Revenge of the Sith: "So this is how democracy dies: to thunderous applause."

[trashcanbred]

The movie looked stupid to me anyway.

Like the Democrats, Hollywood just doesnt get it..

Special effects may be the only thing that keep this from being a bomb.

In "V", while Islam and the Koran are treasured but prohibited, Christianity is pure evil. Nice juxtaposition, when in real life, the 19 hijackers, the '93 WTC, U.S. Embassy, U.S.S. Cole, and British subway bombers were hardly Christians. Hmmm . . . what religion were they? We don't recall Mohammed Taheri-Azar, saying on Friday in his post attempted-murder 911 call, that he tried to use his jeep to kill Americans in the name of Jesus. No, he mentioned someone else's name, another religion . . . which are both nowhere blasphemed in "V."

This will be another box-office bomb. Even if Natalie Portman is naked in it, it will bomb. The movie industry just doesn't get it: we don't want movies with hypothetical evil Christians and far right-wingers (what they see as far right-wingers anyway). If they made a movie which correctly identified today's enemy, i.e radical Islam, they'd make a fortune. Instead they churn out garbage like SYRIANA - the CIA and oil companies are BAD, BAD, BAD! - and 'V'.

Yeah...cuz u know...the good guys always blow up city landmarks.

The idiots that drum up these movies are just dupes of evil or worse; evil themselves.

Yah. I saw the trailer and figured it was another propaganda hit-piece. I'm sure it will fullfill all the wet dreams of DU. They'll be posting new fantasies about brownshirting convservatives in no time. And some will act out those fantasies. Thanks Hollywood.

Well kids, we have an early front-runner for 2007 Oscar nods...

[AD from SpringBay]

Sounds like they're still proud to be out of touch.

And by the way, check out the Phila. Inquirer's puff piece on this...

Senator Clinton Accuses GOP of Creating Police State

Huh! Just in time for the movie!

What are the chances.

I was starting my business with my brother at the time, so I was too busy to keep up on movies when I rented The Matrix.  I literally didn't have the slightest idea what it was about:  I didn't really even know it was Sci Fi but I ended up being blown away by it.  That film was an instant Sci Fi classic.

And even though the Burley Brawl with the self-replicating Smiths in the second Matrix is to this day the best fight scene I've ever seen in a movie, the Wachowski brothers had already jumped the shark with the rave scene earlier in the film.

I found the third Matrix to be basically unwatchable.

So when I saw the first trailer for V, I knew it would be garbage.

Like so many film makers before them, the Wachowski brothers only had enough talent and skill for 1 good movie but that one good movie has given them the reputation to go on making garbage.

It's obvious that the newsentertainment media exist for the explicit purpose of changing the minds and perceptions of the audience, not to entertain.
Movies, sitcoms, TV specials are made with a specific intent: to convince an audience, lulled into complacency by the emotions of the story, of some greater "truth".
Gone are the days of the subtle messages embedded in "All in the Family". The message is so explicit, so obvious, so blatant that even mind-numbed products of the public school system can get the point.

Check this out.

Finest sleeping potion known to man. Just can't seem to keep my eyes open, when a hollywood film is on.

[stuartcr]

It's just a stupid movie, that people hope will generate some revenue.

[Scotswife]

Once again the libs portray their hypocricy.
They are "anti-violence" and peaceful and anti-war...unless it involves blowing up right wingers, christians and the "establishment"

Big yawn.

[GeorgefromGeorgia]

I detest the idea of anyone blowing up Parliament.
