The bots have gotten the idea into their heads that the movie is an attack on Bush (rather than an attack on totalitiarianism), and aren't about to be bothered with little things like facts.

If the Bush administration was like the British government in V for Vendetta, I would support freedom fighters trying to bring the government down.

But the Bush administration can only be compared to the V for Vendetta governemnt in the minds of fevered, irrational leftists.

Saw the movie. Clearly has the 9/11 govt conspiracy feel. The movie trailer shows Parliament blowing up at the end so that's no secret. It's a little sad though to posit that all the glazed-out citizens who'd sheepishly given over their freedoms now blow up an institution dating to the mid-13th century--and return to anarchy.

I don't favor totalitarianism over anarchy, but it's a well-known fact that most societies do.

My biggest complaint about the movie as entertainment is how impossible it is to identify with a person in a mask for the whole picture. It's creepy and cold and alien--sort of like watching a robot.
