William Gibson liked V for Vendetta. Still a little nervous that Alan Moore removed himself from the credits. The New York Times panned it, but it seems like they didn’t really get it. I’m not sure whether that should surprise me or not.

Regardless, how could I not see it? MHG made special effort for me to have the book read before this week so that we can see it and discuss with full knowledge. I love that woman.

Update: It was good as a retelling or a “based on characters created by…” kind of movie, but many of the choices they made were Hollywood and others were completely unnecessary and message-deflating. Raggedy Android (MHG) agrees. Save your money, read the book, rent the DVD.
