V for Vendetta

Yet another old busy weekend today and we start off by running a number of errands around town.

First up we need to go to the post office so I can send various get well cards and happy birthdays cards across the globe, and also pick up some small tupperware pots to put the ever growning selection of nuts and dried fruits I have into to save them going stale. We also pick up our lunch (hot dogs again! hehe) and then head back home.

I decide to go to the gym for an hour and leave Phil to watching ER - an episode that I'd already seen earlier in the week whilst he'd retired to bed. When I get back there seems there is little else to do today apart from head off to the cinema and catch a film. The decision as to what to watch is left to me, and I settle on "V is for Vendetta" - I'd seen a trailer for it a couple of day's ago and it tickled my fancy.

We head of the the cinema at around 5, get parked, popcorned and then told to go to screen 6 where our film was apparently showing. Well thats fine, and we're just about to go in to said screen when I see a 3 year old being carted in there as well. Thinking to myself, WTF would a 3 year old be let in to see a 15 rated film, it suddenly clicks that the everso not very helpful ticket checker had told us the wrong screen number and we were in fact somewhere else entirely. Good job we spotted the problem or we'd have ended up watching Chicken Little or something!

Anyway, confusion over and we find some seats and watch the film. It's not bad, but a little drawn out in places. Mind you, any film that insights revolution against an opressive government is good in my book, I found it particularly tantilising that in this movie it was the british government being attacked, with a grand finale of the houses of parliment being blown up. That'll teach um then...
