I am of two-minds about seeing V for Vendetta; I have some trepidation about it. I am pretty gun-shy about action/adventure/sci-fi movies these days; lately I'm finding a tendency toward Ritalin-soaked video games with the story depth to match (not that I've shied away from high-action...

I saw movies with mathematicians, physicists, biologists... but i never saw a movie depicting engineers.This movie actually actually tries to show engineers in a positive light. I can t remember the last time there was a movie like this. Most often, engineers are depicted in the backgroud.

Has anyone ever seen this movie? It really is not all that great, and in one scene the main character, which is a mathmatician, is describing the number phi and the logarithmic spiral, but for some reason he calls it theta instead of phi. I don't know if that is completely incorrect, or if...

Just wondering which actors played the very best movie characters and why... Mine are ofcourse Brando as Don Vito Corleone, but that will be the same for many of us, so let us not go too deep into that. However, apart from that, i found the Antonio Salieri character, played by F Murray...
