I want to know if V for Vendetta is worth seeing and I'm too lazy to go into movies. Yea or nay? There is a work St. Patty's thing going on tonight, but if I go at all, I plan to bail pretty early.

Comedy Central did not air the Tom Cruise Trapped in the Closet ep. b/c of pressure from Cruise saying he would not do any press for MI III if the show aired. This is Trey Parker and Matt Stone's statement on the issue:
So, Scientology, you may have won THIS battle, but the million-year war for earth has just begun! Temporarily anozinizing our episode will NOT stop us from keeping Thetans forever trapped in your pitiful man-bodies. Curses and drat! You have obstructed us for now, but your feeble bid to save humanity will fail! Hail Xenu!!!

Ooh, they printed my Overheard!

Shit's all sorts of different now.
Ok, that just makes me mad. Comedy Central not airing it, that is.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I really wished I had a paper and pen when I was eating my lunch today, because the lady sitting next to me would have been one of those New York Short Story Overheards -- giving a full-on monologue to her friend about her financial situation, her daughter's arrest for fighting and what happened to the other girls involved ("and the lawyer's Jewish, too"), some other kid's gym teacher being arrested that she had seen in the paper, on and on. And she was dressed and spoke like a fully respectable person.

Comedy Central did not air the Tom Cruise Trapped in the Closet ep.
Did not air or did not re-air? Because I was pretty sure they already showed it (which is why both Cruise and Hayes were up in arms).

Remarkably similar to Emmett's damning review of the movie.

Re-air.

Did not air or did not re-air?
They've taken it out of rerun rotation -- it's aired at least once already. (And it's a shame, too, because that's a really funny ep.)
On the other hand, I can understand Viacom's stance, which is that MI:III advertising represents a shitload of money they'd rather not lose.

I want to know if V for Vendetta is worth seeing
The consensus from Movies is that, while reviews are mixed, several folks enjoyed it, and others want to go. I would also like to go, but probably won't have time this weekend.
