This weekend, I mostly enjoyed being done with one of the longest weeks I’ve had in a long time. I had about twice as much reading as I normally will for my summer class, and could not spend the time at work reading that I intended to because I was training a new employee.

My weekend was essentially made up of what the title suggests. On Friday, one of my apartment-mates invited a ton of people over to watch V for Vendetta (since it was the 5th of November, which is a significant date in the movie).

While the film brought up more questions than it answer, and at times seemed to contradict its own messages, it managed to be a more intelligent movie than most I’d seen in recent years. It asked me to think more about politics than science fiction, putting it in a different category than Inception or The Matrix. It felt a lot like 1984, which wasn’t a bad thing. Overall, a worthwhile view, though I likely won’t watch it again for awhile (perhaps next November).
