I said to my school friend when I returned to Scotland after many, many years absence "Do you ever hear of Grant Morrison from Mosspark Primary? " (I had a bit of thing about him when I was 11 years old) to which my friend said "Where had I been hiding all these years?" I was really gobsmacked to find out how famous he had become. Going to watch this when I come back from the Seashore.

I’m reading invisibles right now and it’s blowing me away in how fun, imaginative, dark, inspirational, insane it is. By the time I’m done reading there’s no doubt this will be one of my favorite works of fiction ever

Possibly the sanest insane person in comics :-)

What a fabulous documentary. I am just getting back into comics and this guy is a reason why I find the medium so fascinating.

Where he spoke of magic and his experience in kathmandu i had to pause to go run an errand, hopped in my car & when i turned on the radio the song You Can Do Magic by America had came on 🌝

HO-LY-FUCK. this thing just blew me away. as one of those dorks that HATED reading Grant Morrison stuff, this totally made me love him and inspires me to do more art. Thanks for this.

Grant Morrison lives by the philosophy of accepting the darkness and utter meaninglessness of the Universe and giving it the middle finger truly an inspiration

A fabulous fabulous film about a beautiful, deeply compassionate man.

I used to not really understand Morrison when I was younger. Wrote him off as a quack. I then started dabbling in psychedelics, and he puts things into words that I never could. He is one of my favorite writers if not my absolute favorite. Genius.

Magnificent!!! Grant Morrison is one of the greatest writers that ever lived!!!

I would pay to make a Hideo Kojima/Grant Morrison collab happen

I bought this as a DVD almost 10 years ago and I have watched it about a 100 times

I still own the DVD I've watched this about 50 times since it was released

This was phenomenal. Love Grant Morrison and his works.

I really think people say final crisis doesn't make sense (not that they don't like it, but that it's incomprehensible) need to take the time, and read seven soldiers and all the associated tie ins. I used the dc universe reading list, which it was much larger, and I can't imagine reading just 1-7 of final crisis (like everybody said was enough). Take the time, and its a fantastic story. One of my favorite events honestly.

Grant is now personally adapting the invisibles for TV. It's going to be a remake set in 2020

This is an incredible, high-quality work. My former self despised Morrison on my Moore bias. And it was Sequart's posts and recommended readings that pointed me to admire this man's remarkable and groundbreaking work. Like him or hate him, it's really hard to imagine anyone else that love comics as Grant Morrison does. Thank you very much for this video. Subscribed for good.

Brilliant Bio what an amazing man so down to earth and yet his incredible imagination is so out of this world . I wonder how Grant feels about the comic strip story Covid world we find ourselves living in today !

My favorite comic book that Grant Morrison wrote was his Doom Patrol run from 1989-1992. I just love the absurdity of the entire run. He made every character interesting. My favorite story out of the run is the Candlemaker story. It's frightening & absurd at the same time. The Chief's heel turn in that story made me to never look at the Chief the same way again.

This is one of the best things ever thanks so much for posting it here

Why just 80 minutes? this could be a 120 or 140 minutes documentary T.T Grant Morrison worth it.

Superb documentary on one of the greatest imaginations of the modern era. I cannot recommend The Invisibles highly enough.

This is the best documentary I've ever seen, maybe because I love Grant's works so much that knowing his origins makes me happy.

I'm glad to have been a part of this...

Did you know? Grant Morrison's tears cure ego corruption, too bad he never cries.

A teenage Grant Morrison drawing Iron Fist makes me feel better about all those Spider-Man comics I drew in the margins of my school notes in middle school ;-)

Beautiful. Grant is my favorite writer and I've watched this before but I will watch it again to support projects like this. Thank you so much!

The interesting thing is that despite all his esoteric experience and ideas, he mostly comes off as being a regular, down to earth person.

This was a terrific documentary. This needs more views

Wow. Talk about coincidental timing: I just started playing X2: Wolverine's Revenge again, and that game is based off of Grant Morrison's New X-Men comic run.

Just asking….. did anybody here read Promethea by Alan Moore? Seems like the subject matter would be of interest……

so glad i watched this, so much respect for grant morrison

Love this; definitely a personal hero of mine and can relate to everything he says.

I don't watch too many films on YT and this is the first time I read automatic subtitles. While it mostly works for Grant's American colleagues and friends, with his own Scottish accent the sentences sometimes make no sense at all. Amazing.

I haven't read any of Moore, or Morrison's works (something to that similarity in name structure I'm sure). However, I am very interested in writers and how they create. I find it fascinating the similarities between Moore and Morrison, especially as it pertains to the practice of magic and world views. Anyhow, Moore talks about the idea of the "logos"; the word, that which is responsible for all of creation: In the beginning there was the word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. Essentially, Morrison views as writing as a shamanic practice meant to inform and bring one self closer to the true self. Unfortunately, most art/shamanism has been subverted to serve a lesser purpose ie: to make money. So, essentially what from my limited understanding Moore and Morrison are both shamans that appeared around the same time? Which is also interesting as Moore talks about the morphogenic field, that spawns information and innovation in humanity. This occurs many times, but the steam engine didn't exist for millions of years and within the space of a couple weeks it is invented by many people, who had no means of contact in that time period. Moores and Morrison, both a product of the morphogenic field.

Amazing documentary, real and totally authentic ❤️🙏

This is inspirational:) Thank You.

Oh man, I remember watching this in the big screen even this came out. It was so interesting

45:40 that. That’s exactly been my experience with writing. It’s hard to force it, but when it just flows, it’s like it’s out of your hands. Characters are just themselves, not created or anything. They just are and they act.

Mint documentary! What a story.❤❤❤💫 thankyou.

Thanks for sharing with us .

That was class. Fascinating guy. There's a great podcast on BBC sounds that has Frankie Boyle interviewing Grant. It's called chain reaction.

i have had that magical journey, and I understand and appreciate his journey and diary in his works

ty for sharing

What an amazing magical magician of a man

Feck it...I'm gonna have to read invisibles again...still haven't got a feckin clue what's goin on..

Really like Grant Morrison ,great person very talented.

WOW! Amazing documentary! This hit me on so many levels! I knew of Grant for a long time but never really looked into him and just amazing! I wish I could reach out to him and have a chat or just let him know that there are lots of "youth" becoming Gnostic warriors as he put it I think? Or basically a resurgence of magick, Alchemy and awakening! I personally practice magick, do psychedelic work, like to think of myself as kind of a mystic of sort and the visons I have had are sooo similar to his (and many others!) and without knowing his visons just confirms like he says in the end that we are on to something! I have see the "blob" aliens also not on DMT like McKenna but just smoking cannabis! I call them amoebas or thats what they looked like to me with galaxies inside their weird little bodies and they told me "Remember!!! Try to Remember! Create! Here like this!" then they did some things....lol But yeah so many weird things in my life matched up to Grants mainly the visions and magick part. What a beautiful mind! We are ONE thing! We are one being and we are just about to be born I believe and then ohhhh boy will it be awesome! lol

This is so James Hillman, as in we're born with a purpose and choose the best parents to help us achieve this purpose.

I wish this movie was called "Talking Shite With Gods"

In a word: "Fan-Dabby-Dozey". Excellent Docu. He's a very interesting bloke.

Great film! What a guy.

That was a great documentary

It's weird being part of the subject of a documentary but not be named.

This was extremely eye opening. Glad I got to finally finish

What a legend.

i love this doc so much. ive watched it so many times thru out the years. anyone know who did all the music that appears thru out? i love it so much

I love how fast they cut away after the sigil masturbation comment lmao, even though it's extremely effective.

any chance you guys could upload dvd bonus footage?

I love this.

amazing

So if you took a dose of acid right before watching this documentary, it should start kicking in at a good time.

He’s a genius.

Some people have more magic than others at different times in our life

I may be biased but I do believe this movie fucking rocks

If everyone’s a Chaos Magician now, do we need some Order Magic..?

Good documentary about an interesting bloke.

Great documentary. Was hoping that Gerard Way was going to be in it somewhere, but it was great all the same

He's not the Messiah, he's just a very working class boy

Too bad KZfaq's automated subtitles have the same issue with making out Scottish accents as I have.

Demons will eventually lead you where you don't want to go.

❤

Would you consider adding English subs? As a non-native I can only understand every third word or so of his accent.

1:10:00 - all star superman

whoooa I was watching an Alan Moore documentary and then BAM youtube recommends this video? Synchronicity? Chaos magic? I'll never know

Wow!! Grant looks a lot or little depending on the gunk on your eyes , like Spider Jerusalem. A healthier and less manic tho. Spider Jerusalem is the main protagonist in Transmetropolitan of DC comics under their Vertigo imprint. Y'all should check it out.

Ah the Tangled webs weave. Alan Moore and Mark Millar are mere mortals....mortal men . Crazed and driven rabid with the plague of insignificance. Morrision is a God

So you write a comic and then you turn into a God

listing to grant like 5 gram of psilocybin

I hope Marvel calls him to write on WH40k comics

what was the magik book he mentioned called?

This is guy i loves the occult lmao

I thought Grant has a ted talk where he talks about taking psychedelic drugs. ...yet his friends claimed he doesn't do any drugs on here

Discovered this guy yesterday while looking up hypersigils. Going to a comic convention in 2 days. Coincidence?

Fascinating conversations but a pretty roughly directed film

1:11:10 Wait, what?😅 So, were they near a convention? I have a lot of questions...😂

Aye ye Ken

36:25

OK Grant, everybody, like wow... Time to distil THESE lessons into your OWN creations, however Crude Grant's become an amazing juggler of timelines, storylines - there's still a LOT of room at the bottom for more 'PunkRock' creations, both in Comix, Music and Film - for me, and for a lot of you'se, after READING Invisibles, anything I write is going to be a BIT 'Invisibles Universe' , and that's TOTALLY ok (just google Morrison/Moorcock, Gideon Stargrave/Jerry Cornelius - sometimes you need a vine to GROW around - at first) - and if WW3 IS kicking off (a perfect storm of conflicts around the Planet) somehow we NEED our dreams and mini-universes even MORE Imagine, for a moment, that any fictional universe, places you visit/create in dream dimension, is where you get to spend your afterlife? It might not be a utopic one, but lets make it.. Interesting Just in case Nuclear Vaporisation now IS round the corner? Namaste Love to All Life

QUE GENTINHA MALVADA.. ESTOU DESENFORMADO

54:20

AI guided me here in 2024. It's already beyond our control.

his dad was cool

7:22 Douglas Wolk's Scottish accent sounds more Indian...

He kinda looks like Dana White

Cool.

The GOAT

3:54 Half Life 2

kzfaq.info/get/bejne/bsCTmc-IypyqmJc.html Grant stole his buddy's guitar then sold it to the pawn shop and then told his friend he used magick to find it. LOL!

17 in 1978….
