I miss the days when this thread wasn't stupid and I liked reading every page.

Now, I've missed the last 400-500 pages and if tried reading them I would have to gouge my eyes out with a spoon after a short while.

Hey hoots!

How do you know that you would gouge your eyes out if you've never read them?

I await your response.

Because every once in awhile I drop in, read a couple posts, and if I see anything worth responding to then I will. I know it doesn't mean anything to you, but I haven't posted in this thread for like 200 pages.

ya...I have the same problem...on a much lesser scale...

hmm...that at least is a decent reason for disappearing. Unlike all those people who left for Tribal Wars.

Andy I think you trout has gone and disappeared.

V for Vendetta is ok, but certainly nothing too insightful, my nerdy comic book friends say the movie butchered the anarchist philosophy of the comics, and judging by the lack of such in the film, they're probably right.

Hi ICY! try spatula's for eye gougind and you'll never go back to spoon again.

Oh you are SOOOOO wrong. Being a comic book man myself and having read both I feel different. I feel in the comic book they did a much better job of letting the reader decide whether he is a hero or villain and thus had as many anarchist principals, but didn't cast them as the good guys as the movie did.

[strike wolf]

Even though I have only read a small portion of the comics and have not seen the movie yet, I feel comfortable making the assessment that the people involved with movie did not want to make it longer by putting you in a situation where you yourself have to determine whether he is good or evil. I also think that most movie goers come to see actions for the traditional good vs. evil fights with maybe the occasional twists and do not come there to figure out who's good and who's evil.

[sportsdd2]

As the nerdiness of Conquerclub fans comes out lol

I've seen my fair share of movies based off comic books (like most movies) and most of the time they have to stray from the comic. Dare Devil was one that i found went quite well w/ the comic, same for the first spiderman, the second not as well i thought. The batmans....ehhh. But V for Vendetta was off the comic very so. But that didnt stop it from being a very good movie in my opion.

Then they shouldn't have made V for Vendetta into a typical action movie, if they wanted to stay true to the novels original artistic vision. I mean fine if they want to make some other interpretation of it, but it wasn't like they did that either, they just made a dumbed down for hollywood version. Changing everything so as to fit a genre of movie is a terrible idea btw. It's so stagnent... culture must move an evolve and dance the funky monkey.

Maybe so... but by painting things as not quite so black and white in the comic books, it probably makes more reflections on the world today, and for most people today anarchism is viewed as black/bad so to speak. Anyway I'm not qualified to talk on such matters, having never read the comic book, so I'll dash off now.

[areyouincahoots]

Well...I've never seen or read the comic, but I enjoyed the movie. lol...It's very difficult to make a movie based on any book/comic because in the printed material a lot is left for the reader to decide and imagine. So when making the film, there is no way the director can make it conform to every person's idea of the printed material. They just have to pick an interp that they like and believe others will too...and make the best of it. I think I'll watch it right now...

ttfn!

I shouldn't even be posting this, because I have never read/watched any of the things I'm about to comment on.

In any case, though, I think the fans of the original V for Vendetta comic would've been more satisfied if it went about making the movie the same way Frank Miller and the others made Sin City(Awesome) and 300(Looks F***ing amazing)


But that is just based on what I've heard and read about those movies (Except for Sin City, which IMO happens to be too Phenomenal for words)
Sin City
