3/26/2006 11:27:14 AM

oooh burn... of course i'm down for a lil eyes wide shut kink

3/26/2006 11:31:35 AM

hahah...not that you are ugly! but i'm feeling the mask

3/26/2006 11:33:13 AM

hmmm... i have a white jack nicholson mask that might do the trick. have you ever danced with the devil in the pale moon light?

3/26/2006 12:14:14 PM

Having not read the graphic novel, I thought this movie was awesome.

In fact, only people who have read the graphic novel seem to be having issues with the movie, simply because it isn't true to the original work.

It still works great tho.

3/27/2006 1:16:29 AM

good movie, but some parts i didn't get... like how V manufactured thousands of masks/capes.

3/27/2006 1:26:21 AM

plaster of paris and paint? how hard could it be? I could make 40 a day.

3/27/2006 1:38:06 AM

i disagree. those were very professionally-made masks.

3/27/2006 1:46:44 AM

V is a proffesional

3/27/2006 1:58:35 AM

there was metal in those masks, cause ain't no way PoP is gonna stop a bullet

3/27/2006 9:39:53 AM

the answer is simple




uhm

he'd be planning this for a while, i think that explains everything...he had years to get the masks and anything else he needed

3/27/2006 9:58:57 AM

Yeah, did he say it took him 10 years to clear the subway tunnel to parliment?

That's enough time to find someone to make him some masks. Tho I really wish they'd of showed him without it on just once. It'd of been cool to see him burnt, eyeless face just like.. one time.

3/27/2006 10:31:49 AM

i can't wait for V2: Vendetta..er..

durrr
only his mask was made of metal

3/27/2006 2:04:39 PM

Me too. But I have a question about that. I'm taking it that he literally had no eyes. How did he lose them? And how did he get around without them? Did he have his other senses heightened ala Dare Devil?

3/27/2006 2:31:22 PM

why do you say he had no eyes? the mask had eye slits

3/27/2006 3:35:22 PM

You're not supposed to see him. That's not what the story is about. Just the fact that it's a known actor and you can hear his voice is a big change from the comic where you have absolutely no idea of his race, gender, whatever.

3/27/2006 3:37:50 PM

Because in the movie, Dr. Surridge mentioned that V looked at her after the explosion even though he had no eyes. Total fabrication on the movie's part, and the same goes for V being scarred and having "cellular anomalies," too. The comic explicitly says he had no cellular anomalies, and there is no mention to him being scarred (although Surridge's journal does say he was very ugly).

because it showed him with no eyes...and he said he had no eyes behind the mask...that gave it away

3/27/2006 5:17:02 PM

ah, must've missed that. i didn't really get a daredevil vibe though, but maybe i'm wrong

good movie

the one guy who said it was top 5-10 either needs to see more movies or stop exaggerating

also, weaving did a good job in this movie but you guys acting like he is the greatest actor of our generation are insane.

basically the only big movies he did were matix and lotr and he played the SAME character in both. its kinda hard to call a guy a GREAT actor when he makes an elf and a computer program sound the same. also, the only reason i remembered it was him in this movie was b/c i recognized the agent at one point of his dialogue, that is positive for this movie but negative for his acting as a whole.

AND GOD FORBID THERE BE REAL RATS LIVING IN AN OLD BUILDING! OMG HE HAS A PET I'M SO CLEVER

4/3/2006 10:25:50 AM

^yeah the top 5-10 thing was a little much, I did enjoy the movie a lot though

it did have its faults, but I prefer not to pick apart every movie I see like some people do

4/3/2006 11:13:54 AM

disappointing

4/3/2006 11:43:45 AM

i mean, i still think hugo's performance was the best part of the movie

not because it was "great" but because it was even-handed

as said, acting for a 30 foot screen in a mask has to be terribly difficult

i mean, acting with a mask in the theatre is one thing, your movements are supposed to be larger-than-life

but it would have been way way way worse for him to go too big than to go to small, which he never did

so thats why i respect the performance so much

4/3/2006 12:11:34 PM

oh no, i agree

my point was that this was a good performance, but others (not you) have been saying how he is such a great actor, and i dont think 1 good performance can tell you that.

4/3/2006 12:13:05 PM

^ uh he WAS Agent Smith too. are you not entertained?

4/4/2006 2:03:36 PM

you are offering that as his good acting job?

i mean the whole point of the agent and in fact every role in the matrix is that you dont even really have to act.

plus the fact that he replayed the agent in lotr

my praise of him in this comes from the fact that i wasnt able to tell it was him

4/4/2006 5:22:31 PM

How the hell was Elrond anything like Agent Smith?

And the role of Agent Smith did require acting. It was a renegade program, the only agent that actually differentiated itself from the others. It had will and a desire to do more than survive—it wanted to get into the Real where it could actually exterminate humanity.

4/4/2006 5:24:50 PM

the diction and tempo of his speach as elrond was identical to that used as agent smith

identical

it was obvious enough to me that i commented on it during the movie.

i cant speak on TT or ROTK b/c i dont remember them as well, but in FOTR it was obvious to me

4/4/2006 5:35:40 PM

I think you'd benefit from watching both movies again. The voices are way different.

But even assuming he used the same voice for both characters (like Kevin Costner or some shit), that doesn't even begin to qualify as playing the same character.

4/4/2006 5:37:27 PM

here is where i divert from the argument and resort to petty name calling:

4/4/2006 5:42:04 PM

finally saw this movies last night. i didn't realize it was a comic book movie until i saw the DC logo in the opening sequence. the only thing that really bugged me about the movie is v's batman-like rescue of evie in the very beginning. it seemed a little too convenient/coincidental for their first meeting. when i saw that scene my first thought was "oh, great, another one of these movies". i'm glad it turned out not to be a superhero movie. all in all, i'd give it a 4/5.

5/9/2006 11:30:30 PM

The movie doesn't do much to make this point clear, but in the comic, that rescue wasn't coincidental. V had been watching her for quite some time and planning to take her in.

5/10/2006 8:13:03 AM

How could he watch her with no eyes

HMMMMMM

5/10/2006 4:02:11 PM

saw it tonight. in my comics-ignorant, mindset-of-the-masses opinion

it was good

5/27/2006 10:52:56 PM

im a sucker for movies with themes of revolution

5/27/2006 11:09:22 PM

saw it at the buck-fiddy this afternoon


i really enjoyed it

and it makes me even prouder to be a Democrat

6/19/2006 4:25:55 PM

so someone explain to me the significance of portmans character IN THE COMIC (not the movie)

6/19/2006 5:07:05 PM

In the comic, Evey represents a nation and an individual citizen of that nation. The path she takes through the narrative is the development of an individual identity (or populace) empowered by the will to defy and reshape its governing authority. It's actually kinda bullshit to look at it that way, to be honest with you, because SPOILER ALERT.

6/19/2006 5:20:47 PM

erm ok

cause i mean i felt her character was mostly pointless in the movie
tho she's attractive and made it more enjoyable and all that
i felt she personal storyline did little for the film

6/19/2006 5:37:52 PM

she's skeeeeny

6/19/2006 6:50:08 PM

i was hoping v would turn out to be her dad
