V for Vendetta/ Pink Floyd's The Wall

With both their iconic characters and themes, does anyone else feel a wonderful similarity between the 2 films? Everything borrows from something, but I think its a great thing, your own interpretation thrown in to expand on the idea more!

Both these films challenged the way my young self thought, and I am glad they did

We often hear about how essential it is to critically think, and these films and graphic novels serve as a friendly reminder of a not so friendly possibility/ reality/ future

We must remember and think about our fellow man, and strive our best to help them. To try to leave the world better than we found it seems pointless, and futile, and many people will say this is certainly the case, but I believe our actions, thoughts and how we treat others can have a gigantic impact, for the better

It starts with us all, don't finish watching these films and go back to being a dick, otherwise we've missed the point!!!

(Loved V's house though!)

I saw this picture with the caption "It's almost like we can't win" along with it, so true.

Here are the iconic freedom from repression Guy Fawkes masks being made in a third world factory in Brazil

It makes you think really hard about owning something so iconic

Lately....

I hope Canberra likes Pink Floyd...

Got crazy spoiled for my birthday, 2 Absolute Sandman editions and complete Daria

Getting to wake up next to my best fuzzy friend

Surprising mates with cards made from butterflies I find in the front yard. Named these two Harold and Maude

Bobo had an accident a while ago, but he will be on the mend ULTRA soon! He remains in very high spirits meanwhile!

Pink Floyd Animals: Canberra?

Would anyone happen to have a giant inflatable pig handy so we can do our own Australia-na versions of Pink Floyd's iconic 'Animals' cover? Just for funsies, not to butcher the Floyd, don't worry!

I realise this will never eventuate, but it's fun to mentally picture piggy at Telstra Tower or the Carillon. Piggy at Floriade! that would be the best ever

Excessive love

Neuschwanstein Castle= perfection from every angle. Bucket list! Everything Castles should be! Grand theatrical and landscape dominant

Pink Floyd's The Wall. Gerald Scarfe's illustrations come to life= magic

More magic! Donkey Skin theatrical poster

Swans. Beautiful to look at, treacherous to packed picnic baskets and the ducks around them vying for scraps, they're kind of dicky to the other water birds, but that's the way it goes, the beautiful people get away with their terrible behaviours...

Today

Favourite Pink Floyd album, and my favourite song from it. The many wonderful words of Mr Tom Hodgkinson ( go to that link if you hold a certificate in idleness like i do!) (go to it anyway, because it is awesome)

sort out this black hole 

I am ending the war against naked animals! Observe Brooklyn and his stylish cat-hat

Read about one of the best parody hoaxes ever, here. Society for indecency to naked animals!

Remember, a nude horse is a rude horse
