10 years of Flick Filosopher: B for Birthday

I’m winding down my 10-year celebration this week -- the site will hit the one-decade mark on Saturday -- with some quick hits on my reviews from 2006. C’mon: it was only last year; how much reminding do you need? (Look back on all the 10-year posts from the past year here.)

From my review of V for Vendetta:

I’m paralyzed: I’ve been sitting in front of the computer for what feels like hours trying to figure out where to begin, and I still can’t get my head around how profoundly awed and moved and overwhelmed and terrorized and rejuvenated I am by V for Vendetta. It’s been 24 hours now since I stumbled from the theater where I saw the film -- my friends and I were the last ones out cuz we were too stunned to move and so we sat through all the long credits and then as the lights came up and then as the cleaning people came through making those harrumphing noises that are meant to invite you to leave -- 24 hours during which I saw another two films and did a lot of non-V for Vendetta-related writing, and my brain is still so in Vendetta overdrive that surely it is gonna asplode.
