(Sorry Ms. V, but today I am a fan of another V...)


To begin with, I didnt expect it to be the kind of movie it was. I didnt even expect to like it if it wasnt what I was hoping for - but it was 'so good!'

It was a mockery of the governments ruling the world today. It was a mocking well done!

Its a very well made movie, the sound and effects are great. The story has too many holes, and is practically impossible - but the movie is done so well and the meaning behind it all is so clear that it doesnt matter.

A man gets shot with all the bullets coming from the guns of 9 men - and when I say all, I mean till their guns ran out of bullets. He lives to save the day, only to die after all the saving, including telling the girl that he loves her - after which she sends him packing in a train full of explosives to blow up a huge building.

All said, you have to see it to believe it. Its not mushy crap, its not a serious nose job - its simply true.

The movie is based on the vengence of one man, but leads to a lot of other things. There are very many small things that reminded me of the world outside the colosseum (the cinema;)

Not many movies are, what I would like to call, slick.
This was a slick movie, it probably even can stand as an identifier for slick movies.

Sin City is a slick movie, slicker than kill bill but not as slick as VforVendetta. The Matrix, made by the Wachowski brothers - who also worked on VforVendetta, was not a slick movie, it was in a different league altogether. Dont really know what to call those kind of movies..

There is one line V says thats very intriguing - 'Its the idea that lives on, not the man' and I tried to come up with something to support that line, "Its not the movie you will remember once you have seen it. Its the idea behind it that you will."

It was a tough decision in the beginning. There were several I was interested in. Knew that all would make my parents proud. Each had their own unique qualities. Each had me mesmerized by their personality. I went out with most of them. Took my time to get to know each one. And then it hit me. I had found something special...

"We do not see things as they are; we see things as we are."

-- Talmud

As the quote cleary explains the intricacies of the human mind and the mindlessness of the thing I'm about to tell you - believe me, its true.

An elevator to outer space!


The theory behind the elevator is simple. First proposed 111 years ago by a Russian scientist, it was popularized by Arthur C. Clarke in his award-winning 1978 novel, The Fountains of Paradise, and goes like this: Earth is constantly spinning. So if you attach a counterweight to it with a cable, and put it far enough away--62,000 miles--the cable will be held taut by the force of the planet's rotation, just as if you spun around while holding a ball on a string. And if you've got a taut cable, you've got the makings of an elevator.
