Looks gay as hell, much like anime.

Should have been fully animated, like the cartoon.

P.S. I was just about to submit this.

Goofy-buttfucking-christ. Poor John Goodman :(

Jesus. Wake me when they remake Marine Boy.

I bet it will be awesome, I like all their shit.

from the previous responses, guess i'm lucky that the damn fucking clip wont play outside of the U.S. and comes up with 'not available in your area'

fucking shit

I like all their shit.

operant word being 'shit'

Yeah, Matrix whatever, parts 2 and 3...... um, I want my money and wasted time back with interest. Now, their hands in V for Vendetta... good stuff.

v for vendetta sucked ballz

yeah, that sucked.fuck I mean come on and I liked the cartoon. I even liked the oldskool techno song, all three of them, but this man I'm disappointed.

I will watch this...maybe on DVD, and critique it then.

For the record, 'V' was great, and the matrix films will be forever emulated.

Trailer sucked.

Movie will suck more.

^agreed

'V' was great

Shit? Bound was dumb. But V for Vendetta was awesome.

v for vendetta was fucking terrible.

some of you have some serious taste issues or something.

To date, you are the only person I know who agrees with Wotak's hard-hitting article about V For Vendetta back in the illustrious chaotic truth days.

What was terrible about it?

The 'knife trail' effects were bullshit. Otherwise I enjoyed VFV very much.

The Matrix sequels were garbage. This Speed Racer nonsense looks like Fast and the Furious meets Lazy Town.

the acting was poop, but that's not that unusual really.

it was incredibly and insultingly pedantic. yes this is a hollywood film and it needs to spoon feed us every theme and symbol, but FUCK.

what i can remember: v leaves prison in the rain, arms outstretched. they show this in flashback. stupid natalie portman leaves prison in the rain, arms outstretched. the connection is very very clear. yet they keep cutting back and forth. natalie portman -- naked burn victim v -- natalie portman -- naked burn victim v

the end of the movie, they all put on the fucking masks. that was such an incredibly bad ending, i just wanted to fucking powerpuke into the tranny wachowski's makeshift cocksock vag hole.

in contrast, i watched cool hand luke the other day. excellent acting (except dragline, who won the academy award i think?), excellent pacing (despite kind of an absurd story at times), and the symbolism, while obvious, is very under control and not insulting. eg, when luke eats the hardboiled eggs, he is lying down on the table, ankles crossed, arms outstretched, head to the side. the camera lingers on him. yes he is clearly posed to look like jesus on the cross. and they approach that theme in an extremely interesting way; in rebelling, he is inspiring the prisoners, yet creating in them a desire to idly worship. they cheer him on, they love him, they go along with what he plans, yet when it comes time to stop following -- they are at a loss and rely on him. at one point he reacts angrily to their heaped-on praise and yells 'stop feeding off me!' only at the end of the film, with his death, do we see that he has inspired one prisoner -- dragline -- who happily bears his ankle shackles.

in short, everything that could have been done right in v for vendetta was done right decades earlier in a film with a tenth of the budget. and trust me, i'm not some classic film worshipper; i frequently am blown away by new movies (lars and the real girl was pretty great, i thought).

what was good about v for vendetta?

I will lay down 10 euros (worth much more than $10) that the longest scene (without cutting and excluding any scenes where they are getting freaky) in the whole movie will be under 1 minute long.

But at least it has a monkey. Been a long time since there was a movie with a real monkey.

Nocal: they all put on the fucking masks. that was such an incredibly bad ending

Eh, yeah -- kinda. I guess you either saw it for the underlying idea, which was cool, or you saw it literally, which was stupid and soccer-mom talk-to-the-hand microwave-burrito.

I liked the story a lot. I read the graphic novel forever ago -- one of the few I've bothered with -- and loved it. I particularly loved the bit where he incarcerates and essentially tortures her, like hammering a weapon into shape.

The film certainly wasn't flawless. I kind of hated hearing Agent Smith's voice behind that mask -- in fact, I hated pretty much everything about the mask itself, and the way it screwed with the presence of the character, and lent itself to gimmicky merchandising. In the original comic, I think they took subtle license with the mask's features to apply more character than was possible with what was presumably a real, hard mask in the filming.

They fairyglittered up some of the 'V' shit, but I liked the story and the visuals, I remember finding little internet nerdgirl's acting believable, and the message was a hell of a lot more useful than, say, Flight 9/11 Eagletear Bravo.

i guess i don't like to be spoon-fed, sorry :'(

hadn't read it, but knew enough about it to be pretty excited about it. it was one of those rare movies i actually want to see as soon as it comes out.

and the message was a hell of a lot more useful than, say, Flight 9/11 Eagletear Bravo.

no, it was infinitely worse. like i said about cool hand luke, like was explored in the invisibles, if you create a hero, you risk that people will idly worship. this movie was the worst kind of hot topic rebellion and it only inspired flaccid consumerism -- not unheard of in hollywood -- but masqueraded as something else entirely. i think that type of film is infinitely worse.

Trixie and Chim Chim would not approve

Well... I'm all for sociopathically morbid insistence that media not trigger any single one of my dislikes, or else, but I also realize it's a medium of expression, it isn't a perfect mindlink between you and your perfect soulmate, it's an imperfect channel built by a process informed by a trillion decisions made by numerous people and subject to a legion of errors and unforeseen dead-ends. Sometimes that pans out, and sometimes it doesn't. I didn't feel insulted by this movie the way you did. I also don't feel insulted by others' lack of insultedness, the way you seem to.

Actually, that's a trend of late, isn't it?

How can you guys like Gnarls Barkley? Ugh, disgusting, what blind faggots you all are, can't you see through the mind-tricks!!!
WTF, you like Zoey Deschanel, how terrible and common for nerds, WHY? She's on the INTERNET!!
V for Vendetta!!? GET THAT SPOON OUTTA MY MOUTH, YOU HATEFUL MINDBENDING OOMPALOOMPAS!!

Reminds me of certain psychotic breaks I've enjoyed. I'm not saying it's not a valid form of expression... just a little pampers, is all.

Oh come on.



Nocal: this movie was the worst kind of hot topic rebellion

It's gradually becoming clear that we're discussing Nocal here more than films. That's fine too. Hi Nocal how r u!! *SWAK*[1]

[1] Genuine kiss on seal (dry)

zooey deschanel: i can understand that she is widely loved by internet nerds everywhere, despite lack of talent and despite mediocre looks.

gnarls barkley: i was legitimately surprised that anyone on linkswarm actually likes that shit. if LK came out and said he likes avril lavigne, at least i could say, well there's the canadian connection.

v for vendetta: cool hand luke was a significantly more intelligent and well done movie about rebellion and control. it was a big disappointment for me, because i really wanted v for vendetta to work -- it just really, really didn't.

i'm not getting all crackalackin here, i just happen to have negative opinions on these three oddly popular items.

Linkswarm.com: We hate everything you like

or, alternately, like everything you hate.
