Corned Beef and Anarchy

The second best Super Bowl ad after the glorious return of Richard Dean Anderson? V For Vendetta. This movie makes me really nervous, not just because I really liked the graphic novel, but also because if they screw up another Alan Moore adaptation I'm afraid the man might kill someone. Lots of people. In a terribly grizzly manner. But the movie keeps looking better and better. The first trailer looked a little iffy, but after they published the posters and the second trailer, it looks like the minimal amount of blood will be spilled. And if that wasn't enough, the new trailer included this image, which means I've already bought my ticket.


Because I am a simple, simple man.

The film opens March 17th, St. Patricks Day. It was originally supposed to open on November 5th of last year, which is perfect since it was Guy Fawkes Day, and the whole story revolves around the Guy Fawkes mythology. But St. Patrick's Day is a good second to Guy Fawkes day, at least for the Irish, because the Irish love nothing more than a good story about fighting a corrupt British government. Except maybe Guinness. And doing jigs. Anyway... March 17th. And Natalie Portman hosts SNL on March 4th. Hopefully it will be funny, and not in the way 'Phantom Menace' was funny. You know... funny... with humour.
