this comment is underrated

Or his magical cave

A trick : watch movies at Flixzone. I've been using it for watching lots of of movies these days.

@Damian Bridger definitely, have been using Flixzone for since november myself =)

She hadn't even made an appointment. She was in the crypt for something else and found Alan just hanging round.

Really where?

actually that's a myth.

Not sure if he approved since it was still a translation of a story he wrote for the comic format into animated format.

The only adaptation he ever liked was Harry Partridge's Saturday Morning Watchmen.

i have seen that its fucking amazing

Correction **EVERYONE SHOULD HAVE RESPECT FOR THIS MAN**

Why? He now supports actual communists who want total state control over the economy. He's a turncoat of the highest order.

@@ThunderChunky101, we respect him. Respecting your enemies or even a person with strange and/or controversial ideals is still fine. Just keep your ideals yours.

@@nkyfong How can you respect a person who claimed to be an anarchist his entire life and then openly supports communists, the exact opposite?! He voted for a massive expansion of government power and a massive expansion of the state. The aorry he advocates for want to extend bans of free expression dn free speech! A writer advocating for a political party who's front bench is filled with literal Maoists who want to ban free expression?! He's a traitor to his own ideals. He's a communist of the worst kind. I have absolutely zero respect for a person who can act this way.

@@ThunderChunky101, we respect the writer and we are scared of the anarchist. That is what we mean.

He didn't draw

lol

Roberto Sauma He did/can draw.

He was not a comic book artist. He was a comic book writer.

@milster I like his politics as much as much as his comics

Any comicbook writer who expresses an opinion gets in trouble. Dwayne McDuffie(RIP), Alan Moore, Grant Morrison just to name a few.

I for one share many creative thoughts with Mr Moore, but I on the other hand have been pushed way to hard to conceive sitting in front of a camera n be nice. I have had enuff with the condescending acts of the weak. Because if you were strong you would lift a person up when they are down, n not put them down so you feel better. Mr Moore 1 last book will both make u n break you!! Ready?

Agreed. At the same time many Alan Moore fans seem incapable of tolerating any criticism of him - and there should always be criticism when someone makes such strong statements as he does. One would think his fans would appreciate this, as I'm sure Moore himself would. He certainly isn't one to push hegemonical thinking.

I was a fan. Till last year, when he flipped communist. Supported total state control of the economy. Total state control! Wtf kind of "anarchist" is that?! Noam Chomsky style communism. Pathetic turncoat weasel. Scumbag of the highest order. I mean... Literal Maoists!!

@@ThunderChunky101 Chomsky is an anarcho-syndicalist

I'm only angry when adaptations are done horribly. especially since i think film is a great visual medium that has great potential to give life to a story. but often times hollywood just fucks it all up though.

I mean, you can’t please the actual author even how great the adaptation is. Just look on the kubrick and king.

And you're so incredibly above this empty shell of a world, you have Superman as your avatar pic. You're original through and through, because if there's something original, it's Superman.

Shut up and go back to the Criterion Collection

😂😂😂now?

And it so true that many classic films were adaptions of novels. I was shocked to find out. Kubrick films were based on novels, so was Spielbergs, Cameron's, etc. Blade Runner, Star Wars, Dune, etc. Nothing was really original from Hollywood.

CyanBlue star wars wasnt a novel

@@maforo85 blade runner was very loosely based on do androids dream of electric sheep, they really aren’t very similar, and there are lots of original ideas too

@@Echoo264 Star wars was based on Flash Gordon, Dune, the Hidden Fortress (and Kurosawa movies), westerns, WW2 dogfights etc etc It was a collection of pop culture references that was saved in editing by Georges wife and the other editors. This was widely known by fans (like me) who read the PR stuff from the time (1977)

@@samburnscomposer it was entirely based on the book, but like all adaptions, creative license needed to translate it to a new medium can change everything. The whole 'is deckard a replicant' was entirely Ridley Scotts bandwagon, and he even added a cut scene from his Tom Cruise fantasy film with the horse to further his case. It was always ambiguous according to the rest of the filmmaking team

I definitely need to read it again.

Dorito Man I suspect he doesn’t care for it, finding it derivative, but appreciating that it tackles serious themes.

Joker is soo Hollywood and lame

he would find it as teenagers' screaming that they are deep

Joker is less than the sum of its parts. They were lucky they got DeNiro and Phoenix to bring more to the table.

Joker as a film wasn’t special. That’s a case of the main actor (Joaquin Phoenix) being extraordinary that the film ended up making an impression. Take Joaquin out and it wouldn’t have been as impressionable.

But if you achieve to know thyself, the only thing you would know is a lie . . .

lol

Northampton is the most average place in England

As someone who lives in Northamptonshire and visits Northampton regularly, you feel the sense of hidden darkness there. I love it all the same though, its home.

apparently its called "show pieces" according to google

it's 2020, and still hasn't been able to be found

@FBI Alypstick a hard fart in a new york subway is a better interactive experience than mass effect andromeda

@Nic Rock prolly not

Lol. Your joking right. He probably and bet all my money he thinks video games are for losers.

@@maforo85 Considering he was developing a videogame for a time, I think you lost the bet. "During the session, someone asked Moore if he ever had an interest in videogames. Moore revealed that he is now looking at a project created with a number of different mediums in mind. While it's evidently not settled yet, he said there may be "possibly some surprising stuff happening in the next 12 months" - "You didn't hear it from me," Moore added. Like comics and movies, his 'magic' is using them to tell his stories if the medium is appropriate. He probably peaked too early for the technology - writing for videogames is now an important pop cultural role - when he was at his height games were still establishing their storytelling aspects.

@@maforo85 nah, sure that he is a boomer, but he doesn't act like one

watchmen the film was awful

Arcanus Gaming That I agree on

I think is issue is more with some Hollywood adaptations taking stories meant for one medium and not understanding how or why they work in said medium and might not work in the medium of cinema. The characters he took for watchmen were already comic book characters, and Lost Girls and LoEG were from literature, which is a less jarring jump to graphic novel than graphic novel to motion picture

He hates hollywood, not adaptations

To be fair you cant say the same thing about watchmen

Totally agree but this happens like 5% of the time. Would be cooler if we at least let new stories be developed instead of incestuously retreading the old ones.

the watchmen's graphic novel may be better than the movie but you gotta understand the reason why it's a movie instead of a show is because the budget would've ruined it. Look at HBO, i know it's graphic novel's sequel but the CGI of Dr.manhattan is trash and it was published in 2019! That was 2019!(the actor can't even act how to be the character) Imagine how horrible if the movie were a show.

He's talking about current hollywood and the mass corporatization of art, as opposed to the older studio system that was in place when jaws was made.

I think maybe he's only talking about 95% of adaptions?

I think maybe Stanley Kubrick would have had a much harder job getting finance for his films today. Imagine HoIlywood greenlighting A Clockwork Orange, Eyes Wide Shut or Full Metal Jacket, in our current risk-averse climate. Studios are terrified of offending anyone, especially TPTB and the god-botherers.

ok

+kindaawkwardbro He's not against adaptation itself. He's against adaptation that stay too far away from the core of the original stories and characters. For example among his favorite movies there are La Belle et la Beté of Jean Cocteau or The Wizard of Oz, both movies who are adaptations of old classics stories. What Moore do not like is that Hollywood is more interested in making big box office success than respect the original stories. And that is reflected in all the adaptations of his works.

that maybe be true but that doesnt mean that their is no artistic merit in any of the movie adaptations of moores work.

kindaawkwardbro Such as? Movie adaptations of Moore's works have deprived the novels of anything they ment and minimize their motives if not even take them out completely. Moore's works are not ment to be films and they should have never been made

Francesco Brosolo but the wizard of oz is adapted horribly into film as far as straying from the subject matter goes

Watchmen is inherently about comics, you want to experience watchmen? Read the comic as that’s how the original artist intended

@@The_10th_Doctor. I've read it a few times,have both the tpb and deluxe hardcover edition. More story,more information,but some things are way better depicted on screen and some are better in the panel story telling of the comic. I understood Moore's reaction is more of a criticism of the complete lack of creativity in Hollywood these days,but very few people would've known these awesome comic book stories and characters had it not been brought to them by Hollywood, because you and me know that books (comics included) feel like a thing of the past and it's more and more obvious with every new generation...

The biggest problem was that it omitted a lot of the political messages in favour of action sequences, which is contrary to the point of the story

Mikael Taraganis Didn't you hear his opinion though he said that were intended so he intended to do that I guess

It's a pretty normal english accent.

Actually that is one of the more understandable British accents. Wait until you hear Geordie or Scousers, or Yam yams

...or welsh and countryside scottish. Even yorkshire can get pretty bizarre sometimes. And lets not even begin about rhyming slang, please.

+Gabriel Martins (Inconfident) I do love the Northampton Accent though, sort of like a soft, countrified Birmingham accent

Yis m'duck.

+Seán O'Nilbud no giant squid

+eiji niizuma i honestly think, it was good that they didnt include that

Jeffrey Mboya i love the giant squid alan moore sets up the squad early in the comic with the artists so to then exclude the squid is bs especially considering what it represents to the story

+eiji niizuma lets agree to disagree

Seán O'Nilbud And you would understand criticism of that film better than the source material's author would?

Receptive to what?

No, to paraphrase, he said it was allowed to flourish in the 60s and 70s because nobody addressed it. This being in response to the question posed about the sexual violence in his film which he is addressing in order for it not to flourish.

@@mottainaicycles5564 my bad I had a lot to drink that night and misunderstood.

I know that feeling well, mate!

This is an old posh but it reminded me of a quote about V for Vendetta that also relates to looking the other way in the 60s and 70s “V for Vendetta is for people who don’t turn off the news”
