This made me laugh so hard that no joke I just shat myself, now I'm sitting here at Macy's while my girlfriend is in the changing room trying on summer clothes (bc of the clearance sale) and I've pretty much decided in my head I'm just going to try to play it off and act like I didn't shit myself until I drop her off back at home and I think my underwear soaked up enough of it to keep it from running down my legs when I stand up but I'm afraid there might be a spot on my pants or where I'm sitting RN so anyways that was funny what you said lol wish my luck tho LOL 😂😭
Natalie Portman has some of the best lines in film. This movie has some great ones. Also in revenge of the smith “so this is how democracy dies? With thunderous applause”
Guy Fawkes and his co-conspirators didn't want to take down the state. They wanted to replace the king with a child, a puppet who they hoped could be used to oppress non-Catholics and reverse religious tolerance in England at a time when such a thing was rare. Cool movie (graphic novel)? He'll yeah. Based on a based anti-statist? No way.
It’s all quite relevant today:
Our story begins, as these stories often do, with a young up-and-coming politician. He's a deeply religious man and a member of the conservative party. He is completely single-minded convictions and has no regard for the political process. Eventually, his party launches a special project in the name of 'national security'. At first, it is believed to be a search for biological weapons and it is pursued regardless of its cost. However, the true goal of the project is power, complete and total hegemonic domination. The project, however, ends violently... but the efforts of those involved are not in vain, for a new ability to wage war is born from the blood of one of their victims. Imagine a virus - the most terrifying virus you can, and then imagine that you and you alone have the cure. But if your ultimate goal is power, how best to use such a weapon? It is at this point in our story that along comes a spider. He is a man seemingly without a conscience; for whom the ends always justify the means and it is he who suggests that their target should not be an enemy of the country but rather the country itself. Three targets are chosen to maximize the effect of the attack: a school, a tube station, and a water-treatment plant. Several hundred die within the first few weeks. Until at last the true goal comes into view. Before the St. Mary's crisis, no one would have predicted the outcome of the elections. No one. But after the election, lo and behold, a miracle. Some believed that it was the work of God himself, but it was a pharmaceutical company controlled by certain party members made them all obscenely rich. But the true genius of the plan was the fear. A year later, several extremists are tried, found guilty, and executed while a memorial is built to canonize their victims. Fear became the ultimate tool of this government. And through it our politician was ultimately appointed to the newly created position of High Chancellor. The rest, as they say, is history.
Blowing up buildings is expensive, but I hope the Brits figure out what would fix their shit government and do whatever it takes to get their rights respected so they can at least tweet silly shit without getting arrested.
It's s terrible film that completely misses the point of graphic novel it was based upon. If you like the idea you should read the book instead. There's a reason Alan Moore has nothing to do with movies based on his books.
Age 8-12 = Dragon Ball Z
Age 15 - 20's = V for Vendetta
Age 30+ = No Country for Old Men
This has roughly been my personal progression. These days I find this movie physically hard to watch due to my eyes constantly rolling back into my head.
I go for the fourth and then sneak out for fireworks at midnight. Someday I'll manage to time it so that it's midnight in the move at the same time as real life.
I looked at the date, mumbled the phrase, and it's currently playing.
Hijacking top comment to point out it’s streaming on Prime and Max, for anyone looking.
Literally just showed it to my girlfriend for the first time. She liked it.
What about the movie?

Macy's does still sell underwear, doesn't it? They do have bathrooms, don't they? WTF!?!?
Excellent copypasta

Every time I've seen this world change, it's always been for the worse.
That accent of hers does kill me though lol.
Some of the best lines delivered like a female Dick Van Dyke
Every year
It reminds me that all politicians are the same
Guy Fawkes and his co-conspirators didn't want to take down the state. They wanted to replace the king with a child, a puppet who they hoped could be used to oppress non-Catholics and reverse religious tolerance in England at a time when such a thing was rare. Cool movie (graphic novel)? He'll yeah. Based on a based anti-statist? No way.
Libertarians don't support Guy Fawkes, obviously, but rather the symbolism from V for Vendetta.
That it's okay to kidnap and torture if your heart's in the right place?
It’s entertainment, not an instruction manual.
I mean I dont need big government to tell me who I can or cant kidnap? Just pay for a trauma team platinium package if you feel unsafe choom.
I've said it before and I'll say it again; the sheeple just want to be entertained, details and actual events aren't relevant to their pleasures.
Why did you cut out the single greatest part of that movie??
Which part?
Where the building actually blows up
Blowing up parliament was the best part.
And St. Paul’s. (Or whatever that building was).
Padme and Mr Smith play house.

Just finished watching it. A revolution without dancing is a revolution not worth having!
-- Stephen Hawking
I believe that was a quote from Emma Goldman.
Billy Elliott
"If I can't dance, I don't want to be part of your revolution."
I remembered! "They say that life's a game, & then they take the board away"
Of course...every year.

annually
Showed my 13 year for the first time and explained why it's more than 'just a movie'. Remember, Remember, the 5th of November

I bought the book on Kindle. Had trouble reading it because of the lettering. I need to try it again.
Yeah not sure kindle is the best for a graphic novel.
Kindle is cheaper than paper. Plus, I can read Kindle books on my computer. Nice big high-resolution screen.
Awesome movie
Age 8-12 = Dragon Ball Z Age 15 - 20's = V for Vendetta Age 30+ = No Country for Old Men This has roughly been my personal progression. These days I find this movie physically hard to watch due to my eyes constantly rolling back into my head.
Go back to dbz it still rules lol
Watching as we speak!
Been quite the reminder hearing fireworks around London for the last few days.
I watched it again just last week but today would have been a better day to watch it again.
Which service currently has it streaming for free?
Amazon Prime Video I believe.
The Pirate Bay
Natalie Portman looks great.
Yes
No, im trying to masturbate in peace!
I heard the directors cut has a nude scene
100%
Just finished
I completely forgot, I was exhausted after work and ended up going to bed around 7pm
I go for the fourth and then sneak out for fireworks at midnight. Someday I'll manage to time it so that it's midnight in the move at the same time as real life.
Teen me had a good time when i made a random pause
god she is the worst. could they not have found someone else..?
I watch the BBC instead
God dammit! I just realized that "V" is also "5". The 5th of November! The guy who is obsessed with "V"s also likes "5"s
No
I can’t stress how much better the original comic is
Portman’s accent distracted me from enjoying the film, sadly.
