I hadn't heard that Alan Moore was retiring from the (mainstream) comic industry.

I hadn't heard that the Wachowski brothers are to make a film of V for Vendetta.

I am deeply worried by both of the above.

Ah - but it *wouldn't* be Nuw Yoick, as fascist state oppression, unlawful imprisonment and torture of "different" citizens and media manipulation never, ever happens in democracies such as the United States. Hoorah for freedom!

True, but it would be hard to justify the presence of all those American actors in a film set in the UK at a time when the US is supposed to be gently glowing.

Actually, the longer I think about this, what are the odds of V For Vendetta, where the hero and main character is a turrurrist, being made into a mainstream movie in today's US?

Not a problem. Just change round who the good and bad guys were.
