Vindictive and Vindicated
I just watched V for Vendetta. Fuckin' great movie. Makes you think, and I quote:
People should not be afraid of their governments. Governments should be afraid of their people.
I am neither an anarchist nor an advocate for revolution, but heck, go get the DVD and watch it.
Makes you seriously think.

Not many Malaysians want to give up the good life comfort zone to change the status quo. Not many have a secret haven to retreat to from the despotic curfew. Most are living from hands to mouth courtesy of high cost of living. We are scared to korban for the better.

Did you watch it on a pirated disc, bro? Doesn't matter to me but talk about coincidence: I was looking for that particular DVD yesterday (and some other titles, i usually buy half a dozen a go because I buy pirated) but my usual Lanun at Lucky Garden had closed early. So went to the other shop nearby, the Lanun there denied that he had a single DVD, pirate or pirated (pirated DVDs are cetak rompaks; pirates are Originals sold at extortionate prices! My own definition, sorry ..). Turn out that the shops at lucky garden had just been raided by the enforcement. WIll try today.
p.s. talk about enforcement, have you read what Screenshots posted today? About the police threat? wow.
And, by the way, TypeKey said you are not registered, so could not sign in.

for the real thing, far more subversive, get the graphic novel originally written by alan moore.

A Malaysian version should be made la. I had to visit wikiquote to get all the grand speaches in the movie, the pirate's "sub-titler" is a local uni's grad.
