I visit soosed.com�s LiveJournal image collector, which spits out the last 30 image files used in LifeJournal posts to a single page, far too often to be considered healthy. Though the feature is temporarily malfunctioning following LifeJournal�s power outage-related death a few days ago, when it was active I found it to be an extremely interesting cross section of the human condition. There were also lots of �If I Were A�� poll results.

Anyway, one day while I was scrolling through the images which LiveJournal users were unknowingly sharing with the world, I stumbled across this little beauty. For those of you stuck behind a 14.4 modem on AOL, it�s a movie poster for a film adaptation of V for Vendetta which fashions itself as an �uncompromising vision of the future from the creators of the �Matrix� trilogy.� IMDB tells me that James McTiegue, who served as assistant director on all three Matrix films and Star Wars Episodes 2 and 3 in addition to his work on the Street Fighter movie, is directing this thing. I think his resum� pretty much speaks for itself. As should be expected, Joel Silver and those lovely Wachowski brothers are producing.

Considering that the previous film adaptations of Alan Moore�s work, From Hell and The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, both turned out to be 98% and 99% terrible, respectively, there�s an extremely good chance this could be the film to finally hit that coveted 100% mark. Considering the people involved, I�d wager it�s all but guaranteed. Then again, if V for Vendetta turns out to be completely meritless, that doesn�t leave much room for the upcoming Watchmen film to grow. I�ll change my prediction to a more conservative 99.5% terrible index.

Obviously, I�m basing all of this on four names, a movie poster, and the directors� of Menace II Society�s ability to make a really, really bad movie, but if it weren�t for baseless accusations and random predictions concerning industries which we are no way associated with, this here Internet thing wouldn�t see much use.
