V for Vendetta was originally a ten issue comic book series, but it’s been adapted into multiple other media. Most famously, V for Vendetta was released as a movie in 2005. But it’s also been adapted into a novel, songs, and a play. If the measure of how great a comic book involves adaptations at all, then V for Vendetta must surely be considered one of the greats.

The film version was written by the Wachowski Brothers, who are most famous for The Matrix trilogy. James McTeigue directed. As with most film versions of his work, Alan Moore was not appreciative of the filmmakers’ efforts, saying that they’d misunderstood and/or misrepresented his story.

The novelization of the movie was written by Steve Moore. In spite of the author’s name, he is not related to the original creator, Alan Moore. The novel was 368 pages long and was published by Pocket Star in coordination with the release of the film.

The stage version of V for Vendetta had no relation to the film version other than having used the same source material. It was a Swedish production performed in 2000.

Several bands have released songs titled “V for Vendetta”. Some of these could be considered adaptations, while others are more accurately described as homages.

Entire websites have been devoted to V for Vendetta, including V For Vendetta Quotes. Check it out.

I have been trying Uverse for roughly a month. Even though ATT boasts about the quantity of HD channels it offers, I am like the greater number of television enjoyers who not only do not have a hd capable tv, but also still use old school analog formats.

We only set up U-verse to the set in our living room. But the ATT Uverse packages will let you set up to 3 plus more if you are prepared to pay more. The DVR connects to one TV, and the others can get recorded shows off it.

I got the U400 packaged choice, which comes with over 320 non-HD channels and starts at $97 a month. ATT has bundled deals that mix U-verse and web access, but do not start getting worked up at the idea of unbelievably fst Web surfing. The online access bundled with the ATT Plan is largely the same as ATT’s base package, though uploads are improved.

ATT installations take a couple of hours, depending on if your house’s wiring should be fixed to accommodate U-verse. In our case, technicians had to modify the wiring in the back of some of the phone jacks. Because I have been using analog wire, I’d not yet tried a Video on Demand service, which U-verse includes. This gives you the option to choose from both movies and shows from a selection of the premiere networks, including Showtime, and play them on your Television like a VCR.

Nominated for 28 Emmys, including several for Outstanding Visual Effects, Star Trek: Deep Space Nine continues the rich tradition of the original 1960s Star Trek franchise. Created by former L.A. police officer Gene Roddenberry, the Star Trek TV series morphed into a franchise famous for the unprecedented fanatical devotion of its audience. Lasting only three seasons during its original network run, Star Trek struck gold with its syndicated reruns, launching a number of motion pictures featuring the original cast as well as novels, comic books, collectibles, and reams of Star Trek-related memorabilia. Following on the heels of Star Trek: The Next Generation (1987), the first Star Trek series spin-off of the original, Star Trek: Deep Space Nine foreshadowed additional spin-offs - Star Trek: Voyager (1995), and Star Trek: Enterprise (2001). Sporting an entirely new cast and crew from its two predecessors, the show focuses on a particular system administered by the Federation instead of the usual Star Trek mission of “exploring strange new worlds”…

Star Trek: Deep Space Nine follows the exploits of the Starfleet crew aboard an abandoned and gutted Cardassian space station orbiting the planet of Bajor. In the aftermath of Cardassian occupation, the Bajorian government invited the Starfleet to oversee the reconstruction of the space station. Deep Space Nine quickly transformed into a teeming city of commerce and a hub for travel (similar to Babylon 5) thanks to the discovery of an unknown wormhole nearby. But the wormhole leads to the Gamma Quadrant, realm of the feared Dominion alliance, which views the wormhole travelers as a threat to its totalitarian grip on power. As such, the Dominion launches an attack against the Federation and its Klingon allies. The subsequent and ongoing war is the basis for Star Trek: Deep Space Nine…

Capt. Benjamin Sisko (Avery Brooks) is credited with discovering the wormhole, and he oversees the crew of Deep Space Nine as they wage battle to preserve the Federation. Ironically, his colleague, Constable Odo (Rene Auberjonois), is a Changeling - an alien race of “shapeshifters” who lead the Dominion’s united front. Together with the rest of the crew aboard Deep Space Nine, they struggle with internal and external conflicts that threaten to destroy their very way of life…

The Star Trek: Deep Space Nine DVD features a number of exciting episodes including the series premiere “Emissary” in which the recently abandoned Cardassian space station, Terok Nor, is resettled by the Federation at the request of the Bajorians. Capt. Benjamin Sisko takes command and his discovery of the first stable wormhole nearby, a wormhole worshipped by the Bajorians as a god, transforms Sisko into a prophet in the eyes of the Bajorians. Meanwhile, the audience meets the rest of the cast and crew for Deep Space Nine… Other notable episodes from Season 1 include “Move Along Home” in which Quark’s cheating prompts a group of aliens from Gamma Quadrant to exact revenge on the crew of Deep Space Nine, and “Dramatis Personae” in which an indwelling by aliens transforms Sisko and Kira into enemies of the crew…
