I agree with you about the Matrix series. The only good thing about the third movie was Smith beating the snot out of Neo. :)

V for Vendetta was fabulous, and my son and I are going to see it again this coming weekend.

I've long been a fan of Mr Weaving - yes, before PQoD. Much better choice for V than Purefoy, but I am biased.

P.S. I agree with all of your points and think that you are brilliant.
