It was a cult classic comic book and a reasonably good movie (not great, but not terrible). http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0434409/ ________________________________ From: funsec-bounces () linuxbox org [mailto:funsec-bounces () linuxbox org] On Behalf Of David Harley Sent: Monday, November 05, 2007 9:53 AM To: 'Brian Loe'; 'Gadi Evron' Cc: funsec () linuxbox org Subject: RE: [funsec] 5th of November I'm getting more confused, and I -live- here, but...
And a hot bald chic is fun and the movie was about security, sorta...
First off -- It's about a novel, and a comic book one at that.
That, I presume, is "V for Vendetta": I've never seen it, but I gather it's based on an English comic book and has a tag line based on the rhyme Gadi quoted. Actually, what I know of it reminds me vaguely of something I read in the late 50s or early 60s, but that may have nothing to do with anything.
Second -- This is much older than any comic book.
The rhyme is very old: it seems to go back to the early 1600s, when the practice of celebrating the foiling of the Guy Fawkes plot (on 5th November 1605) began. The practice of lighting bonfires and burning effigies seems to have begun the following year, but I don't know if the rhyme began then. Personally, I incline to the view that Fawkes was probably the only honest man ever to enter parliament, though I suppose even he had a hidden agenda... -- David Harley AVIEN Interim Administrator: http://www.avien.org <http://www.avien.org/> http://www.smallblue-greenworld.co.uk <http://www.smallblue-greenworld.co.uk/>
