I've seen that movie. It wasn't that bad. It was a future similar to Orwell's 1984..........

It was pretty heavy-handed in its attempt to be allegory for the current WoT, though,

I agree. I liked the whole "Government should be afraid of the people" theme. One day, Democrats will be in control of the government, and the shoe will be on the other foot.
I think that it would not have been released if a Clinton was in power, though.

People should not be afraid of their Governments -- Governments should be afraid of the People!
I don't have a problem with that sentiment.

I also liked it. I can see how a small minded, politically challenged person would be afraid of it, though.

Hi, Red Badger:
I saw “V for Vendetta” Saturday night on HBO.
Pretty decent cast. Cool opening soliloquies by Hugo Weaving (Agent Smith) behind the Guy Faulkes mask. Though Natalie Portman was nothing to write home about.
A lukewarm, warped cross between “Brazil” and 1984.
Meh.
Jack.
