"Before you know it as the years go by, you're just like other people you have seen, with all those peculiar human ailments. Just another vehicle for temper and vanity and rashness and all the rest. Who wants it? Who needs it? These things occupy the place where a man's soul should be." -- Henderson the Rain King

V for Vendetta

Caught V For Vendetta yesterday at the fancy schmancy new Lincoln Square theater in Bellevue. I thought it was pretty good. Not a classic, but definitely not the disaster that comic creator Alan Moore has made it out to be (then again I've never read his comic so I may be suffering from the law of primacy).

The film is a bit over-the-top (it is the Wachowski brothers after all), but it's beautifully shot, well paced and will at least make you think a bit. Definitely worth seeing if you get a chance.

Matt saw it at the IMAX theater here in Madison. He seemed to like it and he has read the comics. No complaints have come out of his mouth about the movie vs. the comic book.
