Went to see the movie V for Vendetta with herself yesterday.
It's a difficult one to judge, but I guess it was a good film! On the one hand, it might glorify terrorism, but on the other, it's extremely antitotalitarianistic (now there's a word!). The original intent of the graphic novel that it's based on was to take a swipe at Thatcherism, so that's ok! It had nods to Benny Hill and The Count of Monte Cristo (my favourite classic story) in it, amongst other things!
And Natalie Portman is always worth watching, even with the "Sinead O'Connor" look!

antitotalitarianistic??
wow...I had to read that word 7 times before I figured out what word it was...
i guess some words are just meant to be said, not read.

It is a humdinger, if I may say so myself!
I made it up as the adjective form didn't seem to be in the dictionary. Call it my Blackadder (Samuel Johnson's dictionary episode) moment!!!
