I would have re-made V for Vendetta and called it V for Victory. And I would have Pam Anderson as the female lead. The prison scene would have raised more wood than Sherwood forest! Also they would have stopped the terrorist (who, it turns out, is Osama bin laudin). And at the end a special ops plane would land and pick them up and President Bush would have been the pilot.

Avatar had a clear message; the military is BAD!

Typical of leftist Hollywood. I can't beleive I gave them my hard-earned dollars.

That’s why I’m glad I’m an “Avatar Holdout”!

The last time Mrs. 40 and I went to the movies was in 1996 to see Twister; we’re not movie-goers. She and I both retired recently and thought we’d take in an afternoon matinee. We both regret it and have said we will never enter a movie house again.

I’m going to disagree with your rant about V for Vendetta, so bear with me.

Yes, the original graphic novel, and Alan Moore, wrote the book as anti-Thatcher. The movie, however, came out differently and it became much more of a libertarian movie than I think Hollywood wanted. That’s why I use the V mask as my avatar in many places.

Let’s take a look at the plot:

1) Government uses a trumped-up crisis in health care and a mocked up virus in order to take control of health care.

2) Government uses further crisis to take away more and more of the people’s freedoms.

3) Government takes control of the economy.

4) Government arrests those vocal opponents and tries to make them ‘disappear’. V, the antagonist in the movie, is one of them. He is experimented upon, but like Number 6 in the Prisoner, he resists.

5) V strikes back at the government, not because he wants to, but because the sheep have no guts to do so. Eventually, like the original tea party in Boston, people wake up.

6) V eventually destroys the Parliament building (thus the Guy Fawkes mask), as he dies, passing along his job of taking down the government to Evey. However, as he is doing so, the people take to the streets...PEACEFULLY, though wearing the masks. Look at the movie - they don’t act. They are showing they are a formerly silent majority that are fed up. Sound familiar?

V was created long before anyone knew who Osama Bin Laden was. Don’t fall for the bs that there is a correlation between the two. V does act as a terrorist, but isn’t that what the tea parties are already being labeled as, even though we are that peaceful, formerly silent majority.

The landmine I couldn’t get past with that film was

0) Britain has become a Christian totalitarian state.

You've apparently confused me with someone else. I've never ranted about V for Vendetta. I've never even seen it.

I agree, and add:

The “entertainer” was the equivalent of a British Johnny Carson/Benny Hill. He hated what has happened, and in his own style, was standing up for what he perceived as ‘right’. He mocked the “Lord High Chancellor” at every opportunity. (We should become louder here, folks!) He kept “contraband” material, including a 14th Century Koran! (Uh-oh, can’t have that, can we?)

When Progressives, (Marxists), start putting down a piece of work such as “V for Vendetta”, they’re making their coffee rather weak! The graphic novel is a gem. Play back ‘V’s monologue, and you will find many truths in it, today.

Progressives dislike anything that can allow you to detach from whatever they wish to spoon-feed you. You think for yourself, become a self-determining individual, and you become a target of their mockery. Why? You don’t need them, anymore, but they need you! Progressives need to be in control, in order to exist. The term “rugged individualism” insults them.

Be rugged! Stay informed! Be an individualist!

I find it quite delicious that Avatar is being sold with other overpackaged goodies such as soda pop, popcorn and candy. An environmental (emphasis on the mental) lefties horror show of consumerism and capitalism being used to bring out their propaganda film. One wonders if the thinking leftie cares.

I agree with you. V for Vendetta had problems: the premise (Christian Totalitarian state) and the solution (Leftwing anarchism as a political system) were both off. However, as you point out, the overall message was a very good one: Individuals matter, government is inherently oppressive, if the people rise up they can change society.

I see the Tea Parties when I see V for Vendetta.
