V for Vendetta in 15 minutes? Makes me laugh long time.
ETA: Also also? "Engine Driver" by the Decemberists is so the song of V for Vendetta!!

Skip 160 in one hour. Personal best! Had to save a bunch of stuff and sadly skip over a discussion of Ray on ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
lifein1973. I'll look at it tomorrow. If I'm not dead.
I have to read 120 pages of Last Orders by tonight (I love Vince), so I can get up at 7 tomorrow and go for my last Adaptation seminar of the term (yay!). Also I need to eat and shower and such. I feel this will all be hideously stuffed up by the fact that Never Mind the Buzzcocks is on at 9, Man Stroke Woman (not so brilliant, but starring Nick Burns, aka Nathan Barley, aka see icon) at 9.30, a Comedy Connections about 'Drop the Dead Donkey' at 10.35, and the first repeat of Green Wing at 11.05.
If I don't make it, tell my wife 'hello'.
Something I noticed about Nick Burns: In the Mighty Boosh (series 2, ep 3), he plays 'the King'. In last week's Man Stroke Woman, he did a (rather brilliant) 'I was made the King of Spain' sketch. And in Nathan Barley he is generally held to be 'King of the Idiots'. Conclusion: he likes to be king.
On another Mighty Boosh note, I was briefly reeling off possible plotbunnies and considering somehow pairing up the Hitcher (played by Noel Fielding) with the green woman on the Council of Shaman, as they're blatantly of the same tribe. Before being informed by the lovely commentary that she is in fact Noel's mum. And that's just wrong.
Oh, and I went to see V for Vendetta on Friday. It is awful good. Very political. Arguments are made for individual responsibility in overseeing our governments using pretty lesbians and roses. And it has Stephen Fry. And - I realised after a minute - both Dartie and Young Jolyon from the Forsyte Saga, calmly ignoring the fact they were once Victorian gentlemen together. It's a futuristic reincarnation fascism bonanza! I'm not sure precisely I can work slash into that...but I'll try.
Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire is out, and while I'm sure every copy in the city will be gone by now, after discussing things my sister might like to buy me for my birthday I'm not sure if buying it would be a bad move. Buying before all the stocks run out, surely the day after my birthday. Hmph. I don't know.
