Indeed.

So many good quotes, I need to rewatch it now, and I've only just seen it for the first time.

Read Watchmen as well - it's the best piece of work that Alan Moore crafted, IMO.

This made me think: is there no comic-threads here? Or should I go search and see, before asking such stupid questions?

I have heard about the watchmen and the sandman, they are suppose to be pretty good. I have to get around to reading them.

Yep, watch it.

Quick comment...
It was really interesting how Evey's visit to Gordon was a parallel to V, in more ways than the obvious eggs. The big one I'm thinking of is all of his forbidden materials, just like V's collection. Symbolism, or is there also a deeper story behind it?

You should - they are both excellent (granted I've only read the first couple of sandman graphic novels, but I hear that they're supposed to really pick up from 7 onwards and I really enjoyed the first 2 so...)

I just watched this movie actually. It was pretty sweet, the domino scene was really cool not to mention the symbolism in it.

I've read them all this year, it's -fantastic-! You should definetly read them. Especially The Dolls House arc is wonderfull!
As for watchmen, I've just read the start, but I liked it alot. Think that will be the next thing.
