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 cartoon-like movies, but, well, I'm just not in the mood for that - especially considering the subject matter of this one - terrorist-as-hero).

Maybe I just don't feel like seeing a film tonight that explores the usual Gen-X "This awful world would be better-off in Anarchy" theme.

I would also like to see 'Thank You for Smoking', and wonder if I might be better entertained.

Aye caramba. What a piss poor selection of movies in the theater these days. People should boycott movies until they actually start making movies worth watching. :rolleyes:

You should rent a moive.

Ali is a good movie.

What kind of movie are you in the mood for?
 
One worthy of my time. Other than that, I won't be too picky.

(I'm thinkin' the two options I offered show a pretty god spread of my tastes.)
 
What is thank you for not smoking?

V-for vendetta is some sort of scary movie huh?
 
Go see the new Ice Age {part 2 The Melt Down} movie!
 
So, I saw V. It was quite good. Not a ritalin fest.
 
I had never heard of either before this thread. But, glad you had a movie to watch while PF was down. :biggrin:
 
Thank you for smoking looks funny...
 
I heard about V for Vendatta and heard it was good, what is Thank You for Smoking?

Oh no! You simply MUST see "The Hills Have Eyes." It's a remake of a failed B grade movie, so it's just GOT to be good!

NOT!

I can't even find a good movie to rent that I haven't already seen. Oh wait! I forgot. Bambi II just came out on DVD. Sheesh!
