It's that time of the year when we gorge on parkin and treacle toffee......and most importantly set off fireworks until your neighbours ears bleed. :2thumbsup:
Have a good one guys and, hey, remember, let's be careful out there....
Roll on the 5th.

I think there about to invade....
It's time again for jihad.
Arms arriving
Eternal rains of fire
Mother of all Rockets

Remember, remember the 5th of November, gunpowder, treason and plot. I see no reason why gunpowder treason should ever be forgot!Quote:

Definitely one of my favorite movies. I love Hugo Weaving's rendition of the poem near the beginning of the film. :2thumbsup:Quote:

Most interesting... I am a direct descendant of Guy Fawkes actually.
After WWI my grandfather changed his last name to "Kent-Fawkes" because just having it "Fawkes" caused him so much grief overseas. Here in Canada no one cares too much.
I was sure suprised when I saw that movie "V" a few years ago, but I will decline to comment. ... As we all know: if you watch pirated movies on a crappy computer your opinion counts for nothing. ;)
V for Vendetta is one of my favourite movies of all time.
"Voilà! In view, a humble vaudevillian veteran, cast vicariously as both victim and villain by the vicissitudes of fate. This visage, no mere veneer of vanity, is it vestige of the vox populi, now vacant, vanished, as the once vital voice of the verisimilitude now venerates what they once vilified. However, this valorous visitation of a by-gone vexation, stands vivified, and has vowed to vanquish these venal and virulent vermin vanguarding vice and vouchsafing the violently vicious and voracious violation of volition. The only verdict is vengeance; a vendetta, held as a votive, not in vain, for the value and veracity of such shall one day vindicate the vigilant and the virtuous. Verily, this vichyssoise of verbiage veers most verbose vis-à-vis an introduction, and so it is my very good honor to meet you and you may call me V."

Can we have your permission to burn you alive. You don't have to, but think of the poor children who I will only get to see Icelandic bankers burnt(or melted) to death.:sweatdrop:Quote:

very cool, do you still retain kent fawkes name ?
No. We are a group of people who LOVE Gigli. So, for a normal one, no.Quote:
worth watching ?
Yes, absolutely. But not because it really has anything to do with Guy Fawkes. ~;)Quote:

If the rest of the movie is as interesting as the end, I'd recommend it. End was quite a nice show.
Also, thanks, IA, for the clarification.
You certainly have my ex-wife's permission. ...I think we best stick to effigies though.Quote:

No. The protagonist in V for Vendetta, V (his true name and face are never actually revealed), wears a porcelin Guy Fawkes mask. And the same cloths that are always associated with him, just all black. He also appropriated his plot, blow up parliment on nov 5. Good movie, definately worth watching. Based on the comic by Alan Moore.Quote:

*cough* mainly because of the mast Vajority of the interwebs worshiping him *cough*
V for Vendetta is a great movie no doubt, I just wished they'd picked someone else for Evee (or whatever it's spelled like) than Natalie Portman........something else, why are those masks called Guy Fawkes masks?
And, err....Happy Guy night? :)
Happy 4chan Raid Day!
Oh wait, wrong Guy Fawkes...
Yeah, I remember him.Quote:

Agreed. I've no problem with Natalie Portman, but she couldn't sustain a British accent at all. One particularly awfully-delivered line was when she said "I'm starving, actually." Makes me wince every time.Quote:
