V for “Very Good Movie”

Filed under: Uncategorized — Otter @ 11:20 am

I just love this quote:

Creedy: Defiant until the end, huh? You won’t cry like him, will you? You’re not afraid of death. You’re like me.

V: The only thing that you and I have in common, Mr. Creedy, is that we’re both about to die.

Creedy: How do you imagine that’s gonna happen?

V: With my hands around your neck.

Creedy: Bullocks. Whatchya gonna do, huh? We’ve swept this place. You’ve got nothing. Nothing but your bloody knives and your fancy karate gimmicks. We have guns.

V: No, what you’ve have are bullets, and the hope that when your guns are empty I will no longer be standing, because if I am you will all be dead before you’ve reloaded.

Creedy: That’s impossible. Kill him.

[The fingermen open fire on V, but he still stands after their clips are empty.]

V: My turn.

GO SEE IT!!!

Perhaps the seminal quote of the movie (yes, I know what that means…maybe you should, too).

“Voilà! In view, a humble vaudevillian veteran, cast vicariously as both victim and villain by the vicissitudes of Fate. This visage, no mere veneer of vanity, is it vestige of the vox populi, now vacant, vanished, as the once vital voice of the verisimilitude now venerates what they once vilified. However, this valorous visitation of a by-gone vexation, stands vivified, and has vowed to vanquish these venal and virulent vermin van-guarding vice and vouchsafing the violently vicious and voracious violation of volition. The only verdict is vengeance; a vendetta, held as a votive, not in vain, for the value and veracity of such shall one day vindicate the vigilant and the virtuous. Verily, this vichyssoise of verbiage veers most verbose vis-à-vis an introduction, and so it is my very good honor to meet you and you may call me V.”

  3. Boobka…you forgot …semen or seed (as in the seed of an idea) or you could pick a different definition such as: Highly influential in an original way; constituting or providing a basis for further development…you choose…
