ink_splotchSo I'm totally failing at my to-do-list. But at least my bike is clean, and as soon as Veronica Mars is done, I'm going swimming. I swear. I really, really am. Or maybe I'll pack. Or write my Danish essay.
Or maybe I'll sit here waffling and reading fic. Except not.
Anyway, the reason I'm posting is not because I'm indecisive (well, not entirely), but because I want to squee about V for Vendetta, which I just saw. And it's wonderful. It really is. Everything I could ever want in a movie, really - politics, rebellion, flawed, troubled superhero, 1984-esque storyline, lesbian subplot, Natalie Portman, British history, Stephen Fry - how can I *not* love that? I cried twice during the movie: when Stephen was taken away, and Evey was watching under the bed; and of course, during Valerie's letter. Whoever wrote that is a talent - it was so damn sad, particularly when you realized that she, too, had ended up at Larkhill. And just the thought Ruth being taken while she's out for groceries - it broke my heart, because it splits them apart, and Valerie has no way of knowing what happened to her, or where she went, or did she even survive the trip? And I am not considering writing that fic. I just think that should be noted.
Evey's tranformation - also awesome. Natalie did a wonderful job, and managed to look lovely even as V was doing his maniacal breaking down and rebuilding project. And I'll admit; the sequence where V prepares for his plan, with the dominioes? Had me squeeing in my seat.
However, he blew up Old Bailey? *moans incoherently* And the Houses of Parliment! It was harsh! But kind of wonderful, and I loved the dialogue between Evey and Finch. God, that movie rocked. Anyone up for a second veiwing? Anyone?
Now I really am going swimming. Really.
