I liked the movie as a standalone thing, but my one big ick with the adaptation is them changing the core message. V is an anarchist, someone who thinks that order can exist without government. The word anarchy is never even mentioned in the movie, and the key takeaway in the film is that "governments should be afraid of their people, not the other way around," a message that still implies governments should exist.

Some lawyers made a video explaining that if the evidence was likely to have been found in a legal search anyways, it can usually still be admitted. I also ANAL

Lots of people mentioning high BPM music, I'm gonna drop where I got my username from: the 1970s funk band Parliament. While not high BPM, there's usually several instruments playing completely different melodies at the same time in a way that really scratches my ADHD brain. It's made me develop a theory that high musical throughput is the secret to ADHD musical enjoyment -- funk is the very wide pipe compared to the high pressure pipe that is high BPM.

It's honestly fine in most places, I feel like the aversion to tap water is a taste preference / social taboo for 90% of people. Personally, the idea of filling up a water bottle in a bathroom feels gross to me, even though I'd happily use that same water to brush my teeth. I get that that's not really logical, but that doesn't change my gut instinct against it.

Apes being monkeys scientifically is the best news I've heard all year. It has been a banable offense in my home for years to correct someone for saying monkey when referring to gorillas, orangutans, etc., despite the fact that I genuinely thought scientists did not classify them as such.

Monge.
