I saw V for Vendetta the other day. It's supposed to be a comic book super hero movie, but it was much more than that. It is obviously someone's idea of how far a government can go, or the people in government will go, when the governed lose interest. I think though that it won't do as well as it could because it isn't as 'action packed' as people expect their comic hero movies expect them to be.

We signed up for netflix, and the first movie arrived yesterday. It's called American Splendor, the true story of a nobody that decides to detail his life with comic book dialogue. He shows it to an illustrator and it hits the underground scene causing a sensation with people that are into that. The movie was done extremely well, but it was an independent that didn't get wide distribution. My wife is really into those types of movies, that's why I've seen the penguin movie, the enron movie, and one called thumbsucker. Oh yeah, then there's Junebug.
