V for Vendetta

VForVendetta2

    "I've read the screenplay," Mr. Moore said. "It's rubbish."

      NY Times interviews Alan Moore on the upcoming release of the film.

Despite Moore's protestations (and adaptation track-record including The Pile of Extraordinary Crap, er, The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen) I intend to see the film, dealing as it does with the Gnostic themes of identity, memory, and resistance in the face of totalitarianism. A story by a Gn author, brought to the screen by Gn directors... hmmm... could go either way.

I'll see this too, despite Moore's protestations.

I'm also very excited for A Scanner Darkly.

I'm sort of sad about the ending though. From what I read it deviates from the comic. And not in a good way either.
