Review
"At times it almost feels like you’re watching something forbidden, like you’re seeing something you shouldn’t be allowed to see. It’s shocking that a movie like this, especially in these times, ever actually got made. It’s even more unbelievable that it was made by a major Hollywood studio." - Joshua Tyler, CinemaBlend.com [4.5/5]

This is based on a graphic novel right? Or did I dream that?

Yeah, it's based on a graphic novel by Alan...Moore or something. I figured I'd leave you some stuff when you got around to writing your preview. I think DC Comics even had something to do with it.

I should go pick up the graphic novel to read at home this week while I have no internet connection... and then write a preview with some actual knowledge of what I'm talking about for a change.

Alan Moore wrote Watchmen too... and I enjoyed that... though his picture on the back frightens my Beagle (and if I'm honest, me too)

Pre-order? It hasn't already been released?

Used the wrong words. I ordered it. But, there is a version by another author that is coming out soon.

It comes out just in time for my birthday, too. Joy. Seeing this would be nicer than what I got for it last year.

If they get this done right, it can be really good. That's a big if, and at least the posters so far are right on target.

Apparently Alan Moore doesn't like this or any of the movies based on his work.

Alan Moore, co-creator of the "V For Vendetta" comic, has publicly disassociated himself from the upcoming Warner Brothers movie project based on the comic book and written and produced by the Wachowski Brothers. And as a result, he has cut his remaining ties with DC Comics, including future volumes of the "League of Extraordinary Gentlemen."

Sounds interesting. I had no idea they were working on a new project. Not sure I like the fact that they aren't directing, but even so, they've got a pretty damn good hand in it.

Alan Moore is not to be listened to about ANYTHING. The guy is a loon.
