V for Victorian

Yeah, I know not putting many pictures up here until I get home is a copout, but what can you do? I just don't feel like wrestling with the pictures right now, so I just posted a few to Flickr. Ok, fine, here's the Starbucks I went to this morning, right next to the Tower of London.

For some reason the British don't believe in cream, so it's milk or nothing in your coffee. Literally, you order it either black or white. Crazy.

We saw V for Vendetta last night, and I agree that it was awesome. Not sure how I feel about the end, though, but a good movie for sure. Also, it was awesome to see while in London because they were very faithful to local scenery, including the tube station right by Parliament. Twas quite creepy.

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!

Glad you liked it; we'll have to discuss the ending when you get back, I know what you mean.

Isn't there a Starbucks or several ont he Great Wall of China? Good god what's happening to the world. ;-)

I just tried to comment and failed... What I said was that Josh and I felt the same way about the ending - the weirdly nationalistic thing in the middle of this deliciously seditious film. We decided that it was probably a major reason the movie was able to get made.... And also probably why Moore took his name off of it. OTherwise though... SUCH good times.

This clears up why Moore didn't want credit. Just read it this morning. NY Times.
