GONE TO DEVON
So, Im away for 2 weeks now.
In this time away I will:
♥ dance in the forest
♥ splash in the river
♥ lie in the courtyard reading
♥ walk the wolves at least twice a day
♥ stoke the fires twice daily
♥ take baths to my hearts desire
♥ water the steed
♥ collect eggs aplenty
♥ climb trees
♥ explore foreign parts
♥ sleep till very very late
♥ play Final Fantasy 9
♥ watch Carnivale
♥ read lots and lots
♥ try to write as much as possible
♥ eat eggy in a fucking basket every single day for breakfast to remind me that bile is good and makes me feel alive and that V for Vendetta is one of the most awful and vitriol-inducing films Ive seen in a good while.
Ha ha.
If youre going to adapt one of the best ever comic books, of which I am a fan, good points to remember if you want to stay on my good side and not be up against the wall come my dictatorship: Oh, and theres boobs if you can read till the end of this rant.
In a country which is supposed to be poverty-stricken and deprived, dialogue such as Espressos all round and I havent had butter for years are contradictory and annoying.
Ditto as far as the populace having flat screen TVs. This is supposed to be 1997 as early 80s Thatchers Britain. You pissed all over my bitter childhood, you fuckhead Wachowskis.
Product placement, especially for Dell PCs, when the US is supposed to be in the midst of a massive economy-destroying civil war, is stupid.
Putting some bland, banal chick song on Vs jukebox just to soundtrack a tender moment is very very wrong. In fact, I might just cut off your dicks and stuff them in each others mouths just for this.
Get an actress who can do a good British accent. In fact, get an actress who can speak human. That Jedi shit dont wash with me.
You dont need to invent a plotline about the government killing innocent citizens to justify some terrorist action. The fact that the government is interning and killing blacks, asians, homosexuals etc, should be enough. You fucking pussies.
Deprived country > women who work in a munitions factory will attempt to sell their bodies to make ends meet. Fact. Doesnt mean they cant be a protagonist. Shouldnt mean you have to rewrite the story so that they are going out after curfew for a date with fucking ubiquitous Brit smuggo Stephen Fry. I mean, really, youd have to stick pins in my eyes to make me go for dinner with him, let alone defy a curfew.
Eveys imprisonment is pretty unnecessary for a character whose parents were killed by the governnment as dissidents, taken away in front of her eyes. Yeah, give her a more extreme back-story to justify things a bit more. It didnt need to be spelled out so blatantly in the book, therefore it made more sense.
Strength through Purity what happened to purity? Unity doesnt have the same ring.
The Voice speeches are naff.
If you cast an actress whos not 16ish, dont include a storyline where she has to pretend to be 15. It doesnt work. Very pretty, but its not convincing.
Finchs visit to Larkhill, LSD visionquest. No reason if its not on the drugs, man, pivotal point and its fucked up and explained through the same bogus invented subplot I mentioned before..
EGGY IN A FUCKING BASKET To quote Alan Moore They dont know what British people have for breakfast, they couldnt be bothered. Eggy in a basket apparently. Now the US have eggs in a basket, whish is fried bread with a fried egg in a hole in the middle. I guess they thought we must eat that as well, and thought eggy in a basket was a quaint and Olde Worlde version. And they decided that the British postal service is called Fedco. Theyll have thought something like, well, whats a British version of FedEx how about FedCo? A friend of mine had to point out to them that the Fed, in FedEx comes from Federal Express. America is a federal republic, Britain is not.
The ending. Not good.
Good points (few and far between)
