For all "V For Vendetta" fans...

[amanuensis1]

So, if you found it as annoying as I did that they moved the release date for V for Vendetta and ruined a perfectly fab tagline...here's my reaction.

WTF!?!?!

Not good. So not good.

This will have to be Dealt With. Possibly by blowing up Big Ben.

Okay, I know it's supposed to be "Remember, remember, the 5th of November" or SOMETHING, but I have no idea how I know that, because I have no idea what this is. What is this?

Wait, Guy Fawkes Day? *has a feeling movie is not about Guy Fawkes*

[amanuensis1.livejournal.com]

Wah, no threats to landmarks in my lj, please!! *does not need the hassle*

It's based on the coolest (arguably) Alan Moore graphic series ever. Check out the trailer here:

What!?!
They moved it?
Does this have to do with the recent London bombings?
Damn. And here I was cheering the perfect release date.
[I just got back from a weekend vacation and am barely beginning to catch up on LJ & news]

[amanuensis1.livejournal.com]

I don't think it's anything to do with the events in London. They says it's "to accommodate the movie's post production schedule."

!!!! I've never heard about this. Stephen Rea! Ooh, it looks good.

[amanuensis1.livejournal.com]

It does look like they got a LOT right! I'm so excited.

Is that... Britney? ::squints at icon::

[neotoma.livejournal.com]

But the main character V dresses in a Guy Fawkes mask. It's important for theme and atmosphere.

LOL!!

If only humor could make it better. ::SIIIIIGH::

[kangeiko]

where did you get the heads up that the release date is being moved? my flatmate's brthday is 6 nov and she was planning to have this as her birthday treat. :(

[biichan.livejournal.com]

Er. Sorry?

I did mean that to be a joke.

[adjectivegirl.livejournal.com]

BAHA. You win. The Wachowskis lose.

[tekalynn.livejournal.com]

What a shame. The timing would have been perfect.

[amanuensis1.livejournal.com]

I know you did, dear one, and thank you for following up and saying so here. Apparently people have come under surveillance for less. It's a pisser.

[amanuensis1.livejournal.com]

Blinking disappointing, that's what I've got to say.

[amanuensis1.livejournal.com]

Found it in Sci Fi News, plus I remember someone on lj pointing out that it crushed the tagline's impact.

[amanuensis1.livejournal.com]

I wonder if they're as disappointed as we are?

[amanuensis1.livejournal.com]

I'm hoping they were just squeeing themselves silly over the prospect. Now...sigh.

[moriann.livejournal.com]

Knowing the distributors in my country, they'll leave the tagline and the release date, but change the year to 2006 and claim it is the best option. Welcome to Central Europe, where Murphy's Law is nothing compared to the people in charge.

[dien.livejournal.com]

It is downright infuriating. I may definitely take this banner. Oh well, at least I got a V mask at con...

[kaptainsnot.livejournal.com]

Aww, man, that really sucks. :\ It was damned brilliant.

[amanuensis1.livejournal.com]

Ha, Central Europe sounds just like the U.S., come to think of it.

[amanuensis1.livejournal.com]

The film does look sweet. I hope they did it right.

[amanuensis1.livejournal.com]

Such a GOOD coincidence. Oh, well.

[dien.livejournal.com]

Don't we ALL. Like the icon. :P Aaaand made an icon from your banner, hope that's okay. Feel free to give it to whoever YOU want.

[amanuensis1.livejournal.com]

*dies laughing* I'm gonna at least keep a copy to crack up over! That's awesome.

Ding Dang Diggty Durn Damn it!

[rectpropagation.livejournal.com]

I didn't even KNOW!

I can't believe we have to wait until next YEAR! It sucks so much.

Change it back people, change it back!

Re: Ding Dang Diggty Durn Damn it!

[amanuensis1.livejournal.com]

I know, I know. Well, maybe it'll be something to look forward to. *puts on brave face*

[moriann.livejournal.com]

Not really. You don't have to live in fear that the distributor will decide that it would be better to show the film with dubbing than with subtitles. I'm still having nightmares about what they've done to Alan Rickman's voice in PoA. It was a truly traumatising experience. I shudder to think what they would do to "V" if given a chance.

Being a cinema fan here means living in a constant trauma. Or at least in fear of one. ;)

Free to all good homes.
Since you gave permission, I blogged using your image on riba_rambles here.

Noticed a huge spike in hits earlier today. Avedon Carol (sideshow_avedon) wrote an entry linking to my post.

Just fyi.

[amanuensis1.livejournal.com]

Oh, how boss! Thank you for letting me know! ^_^

[ophidiae.livejournal.com]

Bwah! Thank you!

[ophidiae.livejournal.com]

OMG, that's wonderful!

[dien.livejournal.com]

Thank! More credit to amanuensis1 than me though. :P

[amanuensis1.livejournal.com]

Oof. At least one can wait for the DVD and get whatever language we want. Sigh.

[amanuensis1.livejournal.com]

We can split the pain between all of us and it'll be less that way. ^_^

[ophidiae.livejournal.com]

Agreed.

I totally flipped when I found out about the movie. It's that weird mix of "omgSQUEE!" and "omg, what if it sucks?"
