Remember, remember.
V for Vendetta (James McTeigue, 2006). I have not yet seen this movie, but I’ve had the graphic novel* since the Dead Sea was sick.
Have you seen it? Should I download it — super-legally, naturally, wink-wink-nudge-nudge** — and watch it while I work out, or is it not a worthy adaptation?

*Let’s call them graphic novels and hold our pinkies out, mmkay.
**Just kidding, Wachowski Brothers. You know I got your backs; I saw Speed Racer three times in theaters, for crissake. Homies to the grave, dudes. I’d never do you like that. Besides, I can’t get Demonoid to work this week.***
***Anyone know how to get Demonoid to work this week? It’s not Demonoid. It’s me. I updated Mozilla and monkeyed with the proxy and firewall settings, and now I’m facing all manner of sassafrass left and right in the form of peer-to-peer denials, time-outs, and failure to connect. Luckily my sex life has conditioned me to expect this. (rimshot!)

The graphic novel’s message was somewhat compromised, but it’s still one of my favorite films.

I’m afraid I still haven’t gotten around to picking up the graphic novel so I have to judge the film based solely on the cinematic version. That said: I found it to be an incredibly powerful film with strong performances throughout and a message which seems completely contemporary.
Highly recommended.
