I have to take exception to this part of your post. How can you not like Natalie Portman? That girl can act!

I loved V for Vendetta.

Ev asks V: Who are you?

V replies: Voilą! In view, a humble vaudevillian veteran, cast vicariously as both victim and villain by the vicissitudes of fate. This visage, no mere veneer of vanity, is a vestige of the vox populi, now vacant, vanished. However, this valorous visitation of a bygone vexation stands vivified, and has vowed to vanquish these venal and virulent vermin vanguarding vice and vouchsafing the violently vicious and voracious violation of volition. The only verdict is vengeance; a vendetta held as a votive, not in vain, for the value and veracity of such shall one day vindicate the vigilant and the virtuous. Verily, this vichyssoise of verbiage veers most verbose, so let me simply add that it's my very good honor to meet you, and you may call me V.

Ev replies: Are you like a crazy person?

Just a side note: V's words have the correct definitions. Yet, he doesn't get his intended meaning across...
