Over on the IMDB Boards section for V For Vendetta, JongoJongo starts a thread called V is a terrorist and he's no hero or anybody good. For those of you who haven't seen the movie yet, V is the main "hero" of the movie, who challenges a tightwad government by means of scaring the crap out of them by blowing up a couple of buildings and turning the people against them.
Jongo's post reads- Something is really wrong when a film like this is made where the supposed "hero" is a terrorists who goes about killing people and blowing up buildings. Way to go by providing a film celebration of evil deeds to all the Islamic fanatics who at this moment, are planning their next attack on the West.
The Pro-Vs shout "matter of opinion", whilst the Anti-Vs say there's no way around the fact that he's a terrorist.
Ditchback decides he's had enough, so he rants and raves about the difference between a revolutionary and a terrorist. He also adds this in as a last "slap to the face" insult- Terorists and fanboys who argue that terrorists are somehow cool are not my friends! (Can we icon that? Please, someone icon that!)
Ditchback's argument is, what else, pushed back by the Anti-Vs that also have turned to "matter of opinion". He also gets into a bit of an argument with twister_55_tx over how you should see V in light of the movie. Twister shoots back by saying Ditchback can't "think outside the box".
UCSBinSD seems to close the argument with his statement- I'm sure you attack all movies with similar themes equally, right? So I'm sure if I go over to the Star Wars message board I'll see a post from you about how terrible it is that we glorify such rebel scum as Luke Skywalker. He was a terrorist, right? Please get some perspective.
This has room to become more wanky within a couple of hours, give or take.
Edit: And the wank spills all over IMBD.com's forums!
Capslock on YEY.
I'm trying to be witty with my sarcastic thread title!
Why didn't they mention 9/11? Maybe because 9/11 didn't happen twenty years ago and the movie is set in Britain?
TOO MUCH HOMOSEXUALITY!!
There's way too much to link to, since this Terrorist/Revolutionary wank has become such a "big thing". So how about wading through all of the splooge in the V For Vendetta message board and picking your favorites?
