V Is For Vapid (Don Feder Slams Hollywood Far Left's Paranoid Fantasies Alert)

In "V: For Vendetta," the Hollywood Far Left's paranoid fantasies are vividly brought to life on film. All that's missing is the Halliburton connection. In Hollywood's twisted world view, its conservatives who inflict catastrophe upon America and Christians who would consign women and Muslims to the Dark Ages. The real world of course is different. But don't let that or Hollywood penchant for sidling up to real world ghouls distract you from watching V. After all every one knows President Bush is the reincarnation of Adolf Hitler and Halliburton seeks to raze the earth's remaining green acres to transform it into a concrete jungle. Resistance by any means to these ghouls, in Hollywood's movie take on our present day situation is justified, including terrorism. The Hollywood Left has not made a movie condemning Islamist terror so the point doesn't have to be driven home that its our society it loathes. And as Don Feder informs us, Hollywood has much credibility sermonizing to us on the evils of tyranny as Ted Kennedy does on drunk driving, Bill Clinton on marital fidelity and Robert Downey Jr. on a drug-free America.

Well, my opinon of Natalie Portman just collapsed about 50 notches. I believe this also got top marks at the box office, didn't it?

This sickens me.

[SIDENET]

Just more crap from Bizarro World. They won't be getting any of my money for this garbage.

[Stayingawayfromthedarkside]

I noticed that cross in the previews. Then I decided no way was I going to see this movie.

[Stayingawayfromthedarkside]

In the title it should read "V is for Vile". Are these people really that stupid or are they really trying to spread lies and create another communist nation. I really think Jane Fonda is a spawn of Satan. When she started lying about are troops during Vietnam, Things started spiraling downward. These idiots should be shot for treason. I am really scared for the youth of today, cause they put more emphasis on what these entertainment yahoos talk or sing about then what their own parents teach them.

The author of the comic book series, Alan Moore, has disavowed this film and refuses to take money from the proceeds.

And one more thing we would be alot worse of if we weren't blessed with Pres. Reagan

[Stayingawayfromthedarkside]

Does that mean he disagrees with the propaganda in the film?

[MadIvan]

Yes, he's actually a conservative. He wrote the series when he was afraid of a far-left socialist takeover of Britain.

Regards, Ivan

[truemiester]

the party’s slogan is "Allah Aakabar".

This is supposed to Britian in 2020 isn't it?

[Stayingawayfromthedarkside]

Couldn't he not allow them to show this film because it based on his comic book?

[MadIvan]

No, that was the decision of the comic book company in question.

Regards, Ivan

[goldstategop]

And Hollywood adapted his comic book to portray the opposite: a far right Christian Fascist takeover of Britain.

[MadIvan]

Also "V" in the comic book series is not a hero. He's an anarchist and a nihilist who is out to destroy.

The idea, I believe, was to show what lengths of hopeless man could be driven to by a (socialist) dictatorship.

[Stayingawayfromthedarkside]

Of course their probaly some people in this world that would love to punish others for their sins, like say adultery. Oh wait, never mind they are called Muslims.

The party slogan echoes Orwell's famous dictum in 1984: "Slavery Is Freedom; War Is Peace. Interestingly enough, in the movie based on Orwell's novel, Hurt plays Winston Smith and the late Richard Burton portrayed the Party's interrogator who tortured Smith in the aptly named MinPeace. Ministry Of Peace. Very felicitious, those totalitarian dictatorships. The irony of the language escapes their notice even as they seek all encompassing control over every thought of their hapless subjects.

Just more crap from Bizarro World...

That's the way I look at it. WierdHolly needs to quit lecturing us, and give us something we'd care to plunk good money down to see.

I haven't been to a theatre in years, and from what I hear about rude people and cell phones ( no cell phones the last time I bought a ticket ), all I have missed was annoyances.

Watching the "Lord of the Rings" series on TV actually stirred an interest in seeing it on the big screen- then, I thought better of it- wait 'till we get a bigger TV, and watch the DVD's.

[goldstategop]

I think that was the wrong Ministry. It was MinLove - which concerned itself with law and order; MinPeace dealt with war and defense; MinPlenty dealt with the economy and domestic affairs and MinTruth which focussed on education, the press and public relations. Every word in reality of course, carries exactly the opposite meaning. The MinLove tortured dissents. Smith found out all too well the Party's idea of all-embracing love: obedience to its dictates.

I am *so* happy to have read this article before possibly having supported this film with my dollars.

There are many (neo?)conserviatives here who think one should view a movie (support it with their dollars) before passing judgement. I always considered this logic to be tragically flawed and self-defeating.

"He wrote the series when he was afraid of a far-left socialist takeover of Britain."

I'm stuned, simply stuned. I caught an infomercial on M-TV about this movie. Their take was that his comic book series was in response to Magaret Thatcher's reign of conservative terror. I just can't fathom that such a solid source of information as M-TV would botch something as simple as a movie preview. /sarc off
