Principled Man Posted November 5, 2017 Share Posted November 5, 2017 Remember, remember!The fifth of November,The Gunpowder treason and plot;I know of no reasonWhy the Gunpowder treasonShould ever be forgot! Guy Fawkes and his companionsDid the scheme contrive,To blow the King and ParliamentAll up alive.Threescore barrels, laid below,To prove old England's overthrow. But, by God's providence, him they catch,With a dark lantern, lighting a match!A stick and a stakeFor King James's sake! If you won't give me one,I'll take two,The better for me,And the worse for you. A rope, a rope, to hang the Pope,A penn'orth of cheese to choke him,A pint of beer to wash it down,And a jolly good fire to burn him. Holloa, boys! holloa, boys! make the bells ring!Holloa, boys! holloa boys! God save the King!Hip, hip, hooor-r-r-ray! http://images1.fanpop.com/images/image_uploads/V-FOR-VENDETTA-May-20th-blu-ray-1012010_500_645.jpg 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Principled Man Posted November 6, 2017 Author Share Posted November 6, 2017 Why wasn't it actually released on November 5th? It was supposed to be released on 11-05-2005, but how many films are actually released on time? 20%? 30%? The film makers said they needed extra time to finish the visual effects.

At least they intended for it to be released then. By sheer coincidence (or is it?), last night I saw The Raven which was directed by the same person who did V. Cusack as Edgar Allen Poe. Had similar visuals of course but lacked the excitement of V. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toymaker Posted November 6, 2017 Share Posted November 6, 2017 "Voila ! In view, a humble vaudevillian veteran, cast vicariously as both victim and villain by the vicissitudes of Fate. This visage, no mere veneer of vanity, is it vestige of the vox populi, now vacant, vanished, as the once vital voice of the verisimilitude now venerates what they once vilified. However, this valorous visitation of a bygone vexation stands vivified, and has vowed to vanquish these venal and virulent vermin vanguarding vice and vouchsafing the violently vicious and voracious violation of volition. The only verdict is vengeance; a vendetta held as a votive, not in vain, for the value and veracity of such shall one day vindicate the vigilant and the virtuous. Verily, this vichyssoise of verbiage veers most verbose vis-a-vis an introduction, and so it is my very good honor to meet you and you may call me V." 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Principled Man Posted November 6, 2017 Author Share Posted November 6, 2017 Just finished watching this brilliant film again. Did I mention that it's brilliant? :D Magnificent acting by everyone, but Natalie Portman is an absolute treasure......(of course, I may be biased.... ....) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnnyBlaze Posted November 6, 2017 Share Posted November 6, 2017 I liked V for Vendetta but it's not surprising that Alan Moore didn't as there were some big changes to his original work. Same with Watchmen. Though I also liked that...mostly. Come to think of it, Moore hasn't like any of his adaptations. It is easy to see why though.

I still haven't forgiven David Lynch and Raffaella De Laurentiis for the hatchet job they did on Dune. As a purist of Frank Herbert's epic novel, I was disgusted by the plot and character changes. Herbert wasn't too happy with it, either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Going way back, when the film producers of Ayn Rand's novel The Fountainhead tried to change stuff, Rand threw an absolute fit. She demanded that Gary Cooper read his lines exactly in the way that she wrote them.....no matter how long the lines were. Just like Howard Roark opposed all changes to his architectural works, so did Rand with her words. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And while I love Auntie Ayn, no sarcasm, what makes for a great morality play on the page doth butter no bread as movie dialogue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
