"[L]iving in any fantasy or science fiction world means really understanding what you're seeing and reading really densely on a level that a lot of people don't bother to read." - Joss Whedon, in his TIME joint interview with Neil Gaiman. Part One is online at http://www.time.com/time/arts/article/0,8599,1109313-1,00.html

I think Hollywood has decided it has had enough of the current administration. V for Vendetta is an obvious shot across the bow, but now there's a preview out for Good Night, And Good Luck and that simply cannot be a coincidence. V is going for the teen and populist crowd, and this is clearly aimed at the higher social and older age audience. I'm guessing much of the intended audience was alive during that period in American history; what scares me is the sense that many of them remember it fondly. Too bad the Dems are so badly adrift and useless as a national party.

Thanks for the ribbon link... I've been thinking about a "Support Our Gay Troops" ribbon for a while now...

I'm too young to actually remember McCarthyism, but I just watched the preview and it made me cry for reasons I'm sure I don't need to explain. In today's climate, instead of being labeled a 'Communist', we label people as 'Un-American' or 'Un-patriotic'. It's the same old song and dance. You're either with us or you're against up. *heavy sigh*

No. No it can't.
I look forward to it.

I saw that preview just a few days ago and ment to mention it to you but I forgot.
So, I'm glad you saw it.

I'm glad you brought this to my attention. I plan on seeing it as soon as it hits the theatres.

I'd love to organize a group outing to see this, preferably a saturday afternoon when the tickets will be cheaper. (Because I am broke.)
