In the world today, people look increasingly to the government for security, so it's not suprising that there are movies on what direction increasing trust in governments can lead to.<br />I just hope we never get to that point...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31906869.post-81392083379442378522006-11-01T09:15:00.000-08:002006-11-01T09:15:00.000-08:00Shaymus, I've never heard anyone use that expressi...Shaymus, I've never heard anyone use that expression, 'hire' a movie, but I think I'm going to have to start using it.Sebastien Millonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06384643621878633512noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31906869.post-67882304187798345042006-10-31T21:50:00.000-08:002006-10-31T21:50:00.000-08:00yes it is that one...I hired it and didnt get to s...yes it is that one...I hired it and didnt get to see it thoughAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31906869.post-59679022282559173212006-10-31T18:00:00.000-08:002006-10-31T18:00:00.000-08:00Babs: Oh, I haven't seen Wag the Dog, I will make ...Babs: Oh, I haven't seen Wag the Dog, I will make a mental note of seeing it.

And yeah, I took off the word verify, life does seem a bit easier now!!!<br /><br />Nicole: Yeah it's true, politicians spend so much time on damage control and on trying to attack each other that important issues don't get resolved. Seems like a lot of people really liked V, I read the comic a while back and was always so impressed by it. The movie was good, but it was a bit hard to love it as much as I would have if I hadn't read the comic.<br /><br />Shaymus: I haven't seen One Hour Photo, did you like it?

I'm starting to feel hysterical... Ahhhhhhhh!!! They're watching me! and the sad thing is they probably are!!!<br />That's true about V for Vendetta, it doesn't really matter your political leanings, its message is all encompassing.Sebastien Millonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06384643621878633512noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31906869.post-49560729230300502172006-10-30T12:44:00.000-08:002006-10-30T12:44:00.000-08:00I am thoroughly terrified of my government, so I w...I am thoroughly terrified of my government, so I was surely the perfect audisnce for V for Vendetta .. what I liked most was that you could bring to it whatever politics into it you wanted to and still get something from this kick in the pants of complacencyReel Fanatichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09727636643227938924noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31906869.post-50193142320610696582006-10-30T10:30:00.000-08:002006-10-30T10:30:00.000-08:00Two good movies that I own.
