I checked all the TV guides in Melbourne, and not one fucking network is showing V for Vendetta.
please, do tell
Knob, have you even seen V for Vendetta?
Oh, no he didn't...
just that he wears a guy fawkes mask and all that jazz.
Meet The Parents is on here right now. And Attack of the Clones is on this weekend.
So glad I bought the dvd. This is a great movie.
Which is why the 5th November celebrates Guy Fawkes' failure
Burning of the guy
and, once again, V for Vendetta was a pretty mediocre film :P
Alan Moore related explosions in 3..2...
he wears a guy fawkes mask and namedrops the holiday
but what does it have to do with guy fawkes day
tim allen wears a santa suit and talks about christmas for an hour and a half in the santa clause
but on december 25th is everybody all HAY LETS WATCXH THE SANTER CLAUSe
it's an artificial association
inflamed by the fact that v for vendetta was a retarded film
Well, he does try and blow up Parliament to change the way things are run.
A little like Guy Fawkes.
Fucking retard.
but it was, like, to do with comics
and it had like hugo weaving
it needs to be remembered!
every year
at the same time
in the same way
He also does it on November the 5th.
I hardly think the association is artificial.
ah, yes. a grand way to solidify your arguement; slap a derogatory statement at the end.
it's a run of the mill action-y movie and it's pretty watchable, has some memorable lines in it.
knob you hate everything lately, more than usual even
The old internet standby never fails.
oh no
Why did I get infracted for this?
The Gunpowder Treason and Plot,
I know of no reason
Why Gunpowder Treason
Should ever be forgot.
but you see, when you do that, it allows your opponent to focus on the last inconsequential jab you made. it works to invalidate any claims you had previously made, even if they were sound.
was he like a majorly repeat offender
edit: checked his history, dumb question
all i know is that before that film came out, hardly anyone here even knew what guy fawkes day was
and now on november 5th i get to deal with a pack of retards all, 'hay lets go blow something up its GUY FAWKES DAY'
and i go 'if you really want to do a guy fawkes day let's throw an effigy on a fire instead or somesuch'
and i get 'LOL ITS GUY FAWKES DAY YOURE THINKING OF BURNING MAN JEEZ'
i dunno, wasn't mine
let's see here
ask bogey
Truly, he will remember the 5th of November now.
Well, that's because most Americans are dumb.
Its a pretty big thing over here, Guy Fawkes night. There are Bonfires and Firewoks displays and a load of shit every year.
i knew about it before the movie, because i had read about it in some book years ago i think. also, most americans are really dumb.
why the big deal
woo we caught a guy and killed him
you don't see us celebrating Julius and Ethel Rosenberg day, electrocuting effigies
a guy i know actually thought that chinese women had sideways genitalia
i guess there was a joke about it on a movie or a show and he just filed it away as fact, never having seen a chinese vagina
america might have a large share on display but we certainly don't have the market cornered on dumb
