Alan Moore Culture Show pt2

[MHassan1986]

I think that V for Vendetta was a pretty decent movie, I mean I totally get his hate for the movies based on his work but nonetheless, V for Vendetta remains on of the better movies in my opinion.

Now, see YouTubers, before I read From Hell (since one of favourite graphic novels) I wasn't that interested in the Jack the Ripper crimes. All I knew was that he was a prostitute-killing serial killer who was never caught. It took Moore and Campbell to lure me in, with finely written and drawn infotainment.

@allaboutdmagic

Actually I am in great debt to From Hell. I have learned more about London and its history that in all of the years in school (this being said by one living in a country where English is not the first language, but I think that can be said if you're a native Brit as well I suppose). Wonderfully enchanting book!

[nickfurze]

yeah but New Labour is really a conservative government under another name.

'Him being a comic person probably t3wenty spotty boys enjoyed it?'

I loath peevishly vapid interviewers with no respect for the medium (because we couldn't call them writers and lets ignore comics being a talent pool for movies and television) or the audience.

[Crablogger]

I think you missed the point of that sentence.

[brokennarcissist]

It was a boring and vapid interview with a great artist.

[Olster81]

jonafun woss u narrow minded f8cking tv dick face

[OwzyB]

steady on

[OwzyB]

send a artist the script

[CrystalHunter1989]

He just wrote the stories didn't he? Does anyone know how to get a comic going if you're just a writer? I love to write, but I can't draw for crap....

[kageodoriko]

Find a writer who's willing to work with you. Once you get working for a company, they often have staff writers, so this becomes incredibly easy; or at least easier. When you're first starting out, it can be difficult if you don't have a friend or contact or some such.

[OwzyB]

btw i can draw, i want to write also, but I dont have any ideas.

[OwzyB]

got one now

[fuhrerschein2008]

Pity comics don't get the attention and the market they deserve. And more than anyone else does Alan Moore.

It's cool Jonathan Ross is such a big fan.

[Tomskinski]

Well I'm spotty.

I'm a boy.

I enjoy Alan Moore.

Woss gets things right now and again, I suppose... ;-)

[CineRecon]

"spotty boys"?

I'll have him know my face has been acne free for years now!

[PounamuKnight]

"20 spotty boys enjoy it."

LOL quote that's exaggerated for dramatic fx but kinda close to truth. Coz I ain't no spotty boy, buddy.

[23JM23]

'An extremely right-wing government who would have put security monitor cameras on every street corner' & the date '1997' - does this sound familiar to those in the UK?

[HashToker]

sadly yes :(

[Hostile]

Well, it was close.

[AllyourbasicGerrard]

You've got to hate those bastard Tories

[FrenziedLogic]

I thought it was labours idea.

[AllyourbasicGerrard]

Same difference. From Moore's perspective, there's no difference at all I'm sure.

LOL, but don't blame me for my lack of knowledge! I was only 7 in 97!

[sksmithy00]

It definitely rings true for us in America... well, those few of us that can pry our eyeballs away from 'reality' TV.

[bibblybobbly]

Alan Moore = Genius
