Normally, I don't get excited about movies

I am completely undecided on V for Vendetta. The trailer looked pretty good, and the comic is the kind of thing that would have blown my mind if I'd read it ten years ago, before I'd been exposed to enough OTHER weirdness. But the most worrying line in the trailer was "From the creators of the Matrix Trilogy." I think I'm going to let other people play guinea pig and wait and see what kind of reviews it gets. Both from regular reviewers and from people I know, online and off.

And no trailer so far as I know, I just saw the poster like eighteen times on this little script that shows the most recent X images posted to LJ last night. http://www.portalofevil.com/lj.php

"From the creators of the Matrix Trilogy."

Yeah, but I have hope since they're only producers this time. Not the director. Also, as long as they don't make it a trilogy, I think they're pretty good directors. The first Matrix blew me away.

Still you're probably right to be prudent.

I'm sort of on the fence about A Scanner Darkly too. I love Philip K. Dick, and I hate how they've turned all his stories into action adventures, so the mood and pacing of the trailers give me hope. But it also stars Keanu Reeves, which doesn't.

Hey, if anyone can portray a man whose brain is not functioning properly, it's Keanu!
