I see no reason why gunpowder treason, should ever be forgot.

I think the thing that annoys me about the movie is that it is so far removed from the message of the book, I am quite literally, disgusted.
The book was about anarchy, and ended on a much darker note. [spoiler]Basically after not only gutting out the current government, but utterly destroying it, and the people's faith in it, Parliament blows up (more symbolic than anything), chaos ensues. For that one night everyone in London is truly free, no one is watching, no one is listening, and they can do as they please. Whether they want to keep it that way the next day is up to them.[/spoiler]
The movie was about democracy, and ended with a much more optimistic ending. [spoiler]"Okay, so we all marched out to the streets in costumes, someone blew up Parliament, and the revolution is over. Best regime change ever. Now let's go home with the satisfaction that we enacted change, but doing as little work as possible."[/spoiler]
But I can get that it's kind of a hard read, not intellectually, mind you, but the writing is so damn dense, it's just like... You just have to put it down and say "#####, I can't #####ing read this now, I got a goddamn headache".
I know I can't read it through in one sitting. I don't think you're supposed to anyway.

I figured out the bus route to the movie theatre. (Thanks Mike!) I'm now watching Zack & Miri Make a Porno. After this I'm going to rush to the Quantum of Solace showing to just catch it start of it. I was a little annoyed that they did't accept my birth cert this time. I had to show my student card alongside it. She then told me to bring a health card next but let me through anyway. :/ Posted on: 15 November 2008, 14:16:07
Zack and Miri was pretty awesome. It didn't resort to be absolutely random to be funny. Quantum of Solace time! I'm going to record the intro on my phone... >_> I could record the whole movie on this phone if I wanted but I'm not an evil bastard.
