Now, on the Internet Movie Database, they're requesting nominations for their polls on the Best and Worst movies of 2006. Anyone who's a registered imdb user (It's free, and I've been a member for years, so don't worry) can put down and submit what films/ actors they'd like to nominate for the Best and Worst categories. As I'm sure most of you know, one of the worst films from this year was the pretentious left- wing propaganda film 'V for Vendetta,' which portrayed conservatives as evil monsters, and portrayed terrorists who blow up historic buildings as heroes. You just know there are going to be a bunch of DUmmie potheads trying to put it on the 'Best Movie' list, so I thought if you guys were interested, we could do a kind of counterattack by nominating it for 'Worst Movie,' not to mention other 'Worst' categories like 'Worst Actor.' Anyone interested, who is or would like to be an imdb user, can just go to the link above to get to the 'Worst' section.
Oh I can tell you why...its because they communists themselves portray this movie as their own wet dream, the "real truth", more than "just a movie". Just go over to DU or some other site and you will see these wackjobs. They hold occasional protest here in DC wearing the Guy Fawkes masks.
A hideously bad movie. I’m suprised Pauly Shore wasn’t in it - it was that bad.
But man, oh man, it was a bore. The main character was a pretentious, dull, emotionless blowhard. I understand it's difficult to act through a mask, (though the Geico caveman pulls it off brilliantly) but even his speaking voice was about as interesting as the recorded voice of the phone company.
And the story had more holes in it than Al Pacino at the end of Scarface.
Seriously, the movie sucked balls and the ending ("We're all 'V'!") was a lame copout.
I give it two very big thumbs down.
If "Brazil" had been made post 9-11, people would say the same thing.
Brazil was an absolute triumph of filmmaking. One of the greatest movies ever made.
Ive seen Scooby Doo episodes that were more subtle and unpredictable than V for Vendetta.
“Brazil was an absolute triumph of filmmaking. One of the greatest movies ever made.”
No argument here. It was the first non-mainstream movie I saw and I was blown away. It changed the way I judged movies.
I just think that id Brazil had come out when V did, people might be inclined to draw parallels. I don’t, but you can bet many people would. Here is a quote I picked up from the Yahoo entry for Brazil:
“Very cool sci-fi “chick flick”
by tealslug (movies profile) Oct 28, 2006
This movie can satisfy both sexes with its sci-fi and chick flick mix. Although this movie came out in 1985, it deals with a lot of recent politics. Seems to be a statement against conservatism and corporations. It reflects on a fear driven society and the effects of such a society. This movie has a lot of humor mixed in too.”
That’s what dim-bulbs would think if Brazil came out today. The exact opposite of it’s true message.
Hmmm, Why do liberals like movies of people wearing masks? My wife and I started to watch the other night since it was on a HD channel. We both found it boring and stupid and switched it off after about an hour.
This kind of pro terror, pro anarchist dreck (the hero blows up innocents just so he can be heard on the movie’s version of the BBC kisses up to the very lowest elements of the left, basically the same sorts who killed President McKinley, complete with corny commie inspired lines like, “A revolution without dancing is a revolution not worth having!”
Pathetic.
The movie is in a long line from Hollywood of crap that elevates some “hero” with a poetic sensibility to the point that he can justifiably do whatever he wants to the narrow-minded peons cluttering up his vision-— Lector from “Silence of the Lambs” having been a pioneer in that area.
But you’re not going to be able to convince too many people of that, at least not here, I think-— the Left is far better than the Right at recognizing its friends and allies, whether in culture or legislation.
Final grade on the movie-— F plus!
It passes---just barely--- but only because it inspired this tantalizing, engrossing sequel .
This was the main point of Dinesh D’Souza’s book-— the false messages Hollywood sends about Western culture provides rhetorical and pedagogical ammo for anti-Western whackos.
I also liked it. I can see how a small minded, politically challenged person would be afraid of it, though.
Hi, Red Badger:
I saw “V for Vendetta” Saturday night on HBO.
Pretty decent cast. Cool opening soliloquies by Hugo Weaving (Agent Smith) behind the Guy Faulkes mask. Though Natalie Portman was nothing to write home about.
A lukewarm, warped cross between “Brazil” and 1984.
Meh.
Jack.
"It's a thwarted and frustrated and perhaps largely impotent American liberal fantasy of someone with American liberal values [standing up] against a state run by neo-conservatives which is not what 'V for Vendetta' was about."It seemed pretty obvious to him (and to me). Your Dogma May Vary.
