“Remember, remember, the 5th of November”
Happy Friday guys! And a happy birthday to Mr. Shanannigans, which is why I picked “V for Vendetta” this week as it’s one of his favourites!
Woo hoo! Fall is finally here! And by that, I mean the abnormally hot weather we were experiencing is gone, with blustery autumn (NORMAL) weather taking its place. ABOUT TIME!!! It was so weird too. It literally went from 40°C to 18°C and breezy, all in one day.
Yesterday and today is all about the birthday boy. Yesterday we had a cozy fam jam and spoiled him rotten. Tonight is his party/ birthday dinner with friends and we’re really looking forward to it. I get to talk to grown-ups tonight! Unless you are home with tiny human(s) all day/ everyday, you may not get why that would be so exciting. Trust me, it’s cause to wear lipstick and everything! (Happy dance)
Reads & Reels had a great week! The Fender blog tour kicked off without a hitch and is doing great! Remember to enter the giveaway if you haven’t already. It’s a fantastic book and the author is giving away a print copy, digital books and even an audio book!
I read and reviewed a sweet romance with a touch of suspense called Roadside, by an author in our community. Angie Dokos? You may know her as the sweetest lady ever! Her blog is almost entirely made up of other bloggers and authors work. She’s awesome and has been sharing my stuff for ages. I call her my “Fair Blogmother” She happens to be a fine writer with a few books under her belt as well.
Hmm, what else? oh I watched the second season of Scream Queens which was awesome! I know what you’re thinking… How can she watch such over-the-top, campy crap? But that’s exactly why I love it! The show is ridiculous and it knows it lol.
Anyway, it has been a busy and fruitful week and I’m looking forward to the weekend. Which come to think of, will be crazy busy too. Ah, no rest for the wicked.
Monday I start a hardcore pilates program in addition to regular sessions where I’m tortured by a chiropractor. Turns out my foot injury isn’t really an injury at all, but a symptom of something bigger. Something I must aggressively treat if I don’t want to become a hump-backed, doddering crone (so many things about pregnancy that I’m still learning). Don’t worry I’m fine, just have my work cut out for me. Bonus? The director of the pilates studio has promised me a “rockin’ hot bod” in time for my wedding. Yay!
So, busy, busy times ahead but I have rambled on enough. Let’s get to it!
This Week: V for Vendetta (2005)
Most of these posters are fan-made and are pretty spectacular in my opinion.
Awesome right? I really like “N” but I’m going to have to go with “O” today.
The Winner: “O”
Which one would you pick?
Have a great weekend guys!
These are so awesome!!

I hope things get better with your foot asap! And Happy Birthday to your Mr. Shanannigans. 😀
I’m with you, O is probably my fave of the bunch, too! 🙂 They all look really good, though. Nice selection!

Wow, it sounds like your week has been manic! I’m sorry to hear about your foot, though 😦 Wishing you a speedy recovery!
Ooo I’m with you on this, I love ‘O’ too! This is one my absolute all time movies. I quite like ‘G’ too. I like how the Guy Fawkes mask is made up of lots of smaller images. I also like ‘E’ just because I wish I could strike such a badass pose and look just as badass 😛

Ha ha manic indeed and I just remembered my preschooler start swimming lessons tomorrow too. Gah! So much I agree! All of these posters are really cool. Even more so because they are all fan-made for the most part.

This is a hard one…I think I have to go with E though. The tagline – “People shouldn’t be afraid of their governments, governments should be afraid of their people” – sums up the message of the film so well and it also inspires with a very real, very relevant message. We the people…have the power. That’s so important, for so many reasons! However, it was a struggle because I think Evey’s journey is so vital to the story of the film and it bothers me that she’s not on E. Huh. Okay, I’m done WAAAAY overthinking this :). Kudos to Mr. Shannanigans too! ‘V for Vendetta’ is one of my all time favorite movies as well.

You know, I think it’s great you’ve put so much thought in your choice because I really do try to put thought in my movie and poster choices. So it’s much appreciated, thank you!
You’re right about Evey but it was actually hard to find posters with her on them. Hugo’s character was so larger than life that people seem to want to celebrate his role more.
As for Mr. Shanannigans, I like to think he has great taste in a lot of things 😉

Aaahh, yep – WELL SAID. Brilliantly executed Shanannigans. I love it :).
The issue with Evey is why I never ended up buying a ‘V for Vendetta’ poster. I love movie posters and have dozens of the framed. I regularly rotate the ones I have hanging in my home and classroom. I LOVE ‘V for Vendetta’ but I couldn’t find a poster with both Evey and the tagline I wanted so, alas, I never bought one.
As to your appreciating my (over)thinking, all I can say is YAY! That makes me happy to hear :). Sometimes I’ll read your movie posters post…and then it takes me a couple days to respond. I’m being serious! I like to really analyze them before I commit. I’m also crazy :). So your hard work and excellent choices are always enjoyable.

Having a hard time deciding between K and L. (L reminds me of 1930s Soviet movie posters). But all of them are terrific!
