The speech practice Hugo Weaving must've had...

VoilÃ! 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 it vestige of the vox populi, now vacant, vanished, as the once vital voice of the verisimilitude now venerates what they once vilified.

Fucking. Awesome.

I posted the same thing (sans the first sentence) in my own journal after I saw the movie back in March. Thanks for posting this, else I'd have never had that first line.

And isn't that a great usage of the word vichyssoise?

My favorite story.
Hands down.

Although, it's neck 'n neck with Fight Club & Dune. Tough call, but the antics in that endeavour were out-right dumbfounding and required thought.

That doesn't happen very often.

[And previous to this li'l drabble, the Amandafish had never even heard of 'vichyssoise', much less 'vouchsafing'. We <3 dictionary.com.]

My mom took French in college and I think she "casually" dropped that V-bomb once during my childhood (though I think you actually have to work at creatively weaving that word into a sentence, especially if you're not talking about anything soup-like), and that is the ONLY reason why it sounded even vaguely coherent to me.
