V for Vendetta

[James Tiberius Kirk]

So where could you pick holes in Star Trek?

You can't I ran a tight ship, killed lots of aliens and our technology was way ahead of its time

... anyone seen that pesky lizard around?

You're being a bit anal. U look at any sci fi film u can pick dozens of techo holes in them. Blade runner - pay phones? Honestly?

Blade Runner was made in the 80's, yet they still dressed the pay phone up and made it a video pay phone (and it charges $1.25 they even thought through inflation) so no criticism there (although a bit short sighted but they didn't know mobile phones or phones which take credit/debit cards would exist back then so fair enough).

V for Vendetta is totally different, if you were producing a film set in 2020, would you hop on over to Dell.com and order current hardware, I would hope not, it would seem this was sloppy film production, or probably more likely advertising for Dell's current line.

Give me an example of what u call a good movie.

If we're talking dystopian visions of the future, how about Brazil? 1984 isn't a bad film either.

I should say I recorded "V" on Sunday night and watched the first half hour and did get quite into it, but didn't have time to sit and watch it all. I think it was coming in seeing Stephen Fry doing Benny Hill is what got to me. In fairness that, Natalie's "accent", and a lot of the general dialogue seemed to be the typical American stereotype of what the "English" are like (talking about "England" rather than "Britain" is one give away).

I have a sneeking suspiscion that when I give it a fair chance I might quite like it.

There has always been a sub set of people who operate in a cash economy. Blade runner is (mostly) set amongst those people so why not pay phones?

You guys are really missing the point of V for Vendetta.

Best you get back to coding up the governments next tax or ID database for them.

The spaceship is made of cardboard. When I realised that at the age of 8 I stopped watching it.

I thought it was excellent and a real breath of fresh air compared to most of the dross on sky movies, parts of it were like a camped up ‘1984’ but with a good ending. I'm surprised sky bothered to show it as proper films that require any kind of thought seem to be low on their priority list when scheduling premiers.

I've been waiting for 'Munich' to come on to sky, anyone know if it’s in the pipeline?

Just been looking on IMDB, 131st in their top movies of all time... well deserved

and I liked it when he blew up the Old Bailey to the 1812 Overture.

... and I liked it when the end credits kicked in to 'Streetfighting Man'.

I ordered the comic novel after seeing the film - never read one before - and thought it was brilliant too.
