I love Alan Moore. I really do. I try to read everything he’s put his hand and amazingly wonderful brain to, and he’s got some of the best theories on magic, thought, and substance dualism, in the field.
He’s a Very Cranky Old Man.
He gave up the adaptation rights to these things. Movies, video games, novelizations, comic adaptations of the novelizations of the movies made of his stuff (don’t laugh, that shit happened). All of it. He said: “Take it. I don’t want my name attached, I don’t want any input to it, I don’t want to look at it, hear about it, smell it, or have the faint aftertaste of it mar my Superior English Palette.”
So where the fuck does he get off being angry at what happens to the things of which he has washed his hand?
I think that Mr. Moore would do well to remember, as often as possible, the story about Raymond Chandler:
When The Big Sleep was made into a movie, and reporters would go to interview him, they would tell Chandler “they ruined your book,” and he would get up, walk to the bookshelf, grab a copy of it and say, “No, it’s right there.”
It’s Still Right There, Mr. Moore. It’s Still Right There.
I’m apologize for the crude nature of this comment, it’s not to scale. (Which is to say, in any particular order. Because let’s face it, neither are my thoughts.)
Well, after Damien’s post, I feel somewhat embarrassed at my complete lack of knowledge regarding Alan Moore. But I did read The Watchmen. (And the nachos were delicious.)
Never watched Afro Samurai, but if Skywalker, voice of the (animated) Joker is in? Yeah, I can’t afford to not pick this series up now.
Normally I would rebel at the thought of a Twilight Zone movie, but then remembered Jon Lithgow’s rendition of Nightmare at 20,000 Feet. Well, him and Dan Aykroyd. All right, I’ll give it a shot. Don’t **** this up, DiCaprio.
I’ve only watched the anime, (aforementioned problems regarding comics and my inability to jump into a plot arc,) and it was not something I went into expecting to have my fragile soul crushed. Did you see the final episodes? God, it’s like they introduced puppies just so they could be shot. You spend the time thinking, “Hey, it’s anime, they might find a loophole where everything turns out allright!” And you are wrong. On a different note, Widge, did you just imply the possibility of a PG Witchblade? How, exactly, would that be accomplished?
Damien: I know what you mean. And I don’t get it either.
Mage: PG Witchblade means she’s wearing a body suit that covers everything. I’m not saying a GOOD PG Witchblade or a LOGICAL PG Witchblade, I’m just saying. It would get them in Wal-Mart.
And her enemies bleed RAINBOWS!
I’ve been a fan of Afro Samurai for so long. I’m glad I stumbled onto this site (from omninoggin.com) and found out about Afro Samurai:Resurrection. I can’t wait till January!
Thaya: Thanks for stopping by…I ran across your site because you’re working on a plugin I plan to use a few versions from now. Small world, innit? :)
You just made me think of Big Figure. Hooray, I’m a little nerdier than I was a week ago! Okay, but I’ll stop mentioning Watchmen, I’m getting repetitive.
