There are times I wish they’d just ban everything- baccy and beer, burgers and bangers, and all the rest- once and for all. Instead, they creep forward one apparently tiny step at a time. It’s like being executed with a bacon slicer.

So yeah, I know it's a day early, but happy Guy Fawkes Day!
Definitely one of my favorite movies. I love Hugo Weaving's rendition of the poem near the beginning of the film.

So how thorough is the search for bombs now a days? Is it just a quick and routine 'ceremonial' search or do they really check with dogs and what not?

Four stage strategy from Yes, Minister:
Stage one we say nothing is going to happen.
Stage two, we say something may be about to happen, but we should do nothing about it.
Stage three, we say that maybe we should do something about it, but there's nothing we can do.
Stage four, we say maybe there was something we could have done, but it's too late now.
Re: Gunpowder, treason and plot.
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.

Re: Gunpowder, treason and plot.
"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."

Re: Gunpowder, treason and plot.
No. We are a group of people who LOVE Gigli. So, for a normal one, no.worth watching ?
Re: Gunpowder, treason and plot.
Yes, absolutely. But not because it really has anything to do with Guy Fawkes.

Re: Gunpowder, treason and plot.
I miss the fireworks. The school I went to in the UK would always put on a great show. But the massive bonfires were always the best, using plenty of petrol.

Re: Gunpowder, treason and plot.
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.

Re: Gunpowder, treason and plot.
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.

Re: Gunpowder, treason and plot.
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? :)
The horizon is nothing save the limit of our sight.

Happy 4chan Raid Day!
Oh wait, wrong Guy Fawkes...
Re : Re: Gunpowder, treason and plot.
Yeah, I remember him.
That guy fawkes over 4chan constantly.

Re: Gunpowder, treason and plot.
Gah, missed this thread on the Fifth. I watch V For Vendetta every November 5 (well, since 2006 anyways), it's sort of like a tradition now.
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.
Because they have the likeness of Guy Fawkes?something else, why are those masks called Guy Fawkes masks?
