The gallery for the photocall in Japan has been updated with a bunch of new pics that Aurora sent in.

Melody also setup a gallery for the Vogue pics.

Jeff Wells has spoken out about that Variety V for Vendetta (nice alliteration) review and now Dave Poland has done the same.

Sean obviously does read the articles in Playboy because he noticed that V for Vendetta was Movie of the Month in the March edition.

Science Fiction often tackles the big issues and does so way ahead of the curve. We’re taking serious and weighty problems such as totalitarian governments that use religion and fear as weopons. Such old-school masters of speculative fiction as Ray Bradbury, Isaac Asimov and Arthur C. Clarke ignited the torch picked up by latter-day Maestros, including the brilliant graphic novelist Alan Moore. Moore’s vision of dystopia, poorly served by the screen versions of his League of Extrordinary Gentlemen and From Hell, gets a more fitting adaptation in V for Vendetta…

…”It’s sort of an oblique way of referencing today’s political situation by saying, ‘Oh, it happens 35 years from now,’ ” Portman explains. “You can then criticize everything that’s going on now and get it into people’s minds subliminally.”

And Jutze, who was at Berlin premiere, went a bit more in depth with his full review of V for Vendetta.

There’s a pretty cool awardspoll over at UGO. Nat’s performance as Mathilda is up for best actress. Thanks to Kim.

The last news item of the day is pretty funny. I guess we’re just unfashionable. Thanks to Nat-ah-lee.

And finally, Amy sent in a really nice wallpaper.

Night.
