Seattlest: V for lots of words that start with V

I saw it at the Cinerama, and am happy to give it a thumbs-up, too. In general, movies made from graphic novels make my skin crawl, but in this case I got into it. Like the X-Men movies, it has the virtue of possibly being *about* something, though the Bros. Wach-a-whosis problematize the moral climate a bit more. The annoying thing was that Hugo Weaver had a lot of tricky lines, and with his face hidden behind a mask, it was not always easy to make out what he was saying.

In this forum of comic book fans, I'd just like to take this opportunity to complain that my childhood hobby is getting short shrift. All these movies based on comic books, but not a SINGLE ONE based on baseball cards?

That Superman Returns trailer is just dull. I like Marlon Brando's voice as much as anyone, but the trailer really ends up promising, well, nothing in particular. And while I didn't love V for Vendetta, it's definitely worth catching at the Cinerama.
