v is for very entertained.

'v is for vendetta' today.. rushed through the underground into town just in time to just miss the first 15 minutes of the film... thank goodness for friends who are willing to leave the theatre mid-show. :) anyhow, i totally loved it. was well impressed with natalie portman's english accent, although my scottish mates weren't... so there you go, international ignorace. it's brilliant. *grin*

...just the whole way the filming was done, the characters, the colours, the darkness of it all, such a highly controversial topic, resurrected by the director, and anachronistically set into future london. well, i thought it was highly entertaining, despite what the critics might say, (or what they want us to believe?? esoteric post-vendetta jest...) i loved it.. plus i'll need to watch the first 15 minutes too.

i just have to say this, how irrelevant it may be to my thoughts on the film, that 'v' has totally rekindled my love for london - the coming together of high art, pop culture, centuries of history, markets, business districts, parks, stations... arghs. i don't want to go on....plus that i've started where i left off on 'london' by edward rutherford... the last time i touched it must've been about 3 months ago... london's amazing, but now i have glasgow, and glasgow is lovely too. :) so yes, enjoying london from glasgow today was quite nice. like sitting on top of a green hill and looking over to the other greener hill in the distance, but contented with the grass on this side, but still being able to be happy for the people on the greener pastures. you know what i mean.
