Alan Moore Culture Show pt3

Alan Moore's Interview for BBC2's Culture Show on 9th March 2006

7th Augst 2010 - a long long time ago, before google moved into youtube land, video sizes, compression rates and a whole other bunch of factors ment if your videos were over 100mb, you had to make them shorter. Not being a video editing genius, i didn't know how to "downscale" the videos, only cut them into smaller segments.
Many moons have passed since that time, many different "terms of use" things have been signed to use youtube, as im sure, a lot else has changed - as well as me not having any copies of any of the Alan Moore videos i've uploaded to youtube - so all i can suggest, if this really really annoys you, is find one of those programs to rip/download youtube videos, put them all together, and watch the whole thing.

He isn't slamming Batman. He's just looking at it from a logical, realistic point of view. Hell, Alan Moore wrote several of the greatest batman stories.

[ScarranHalfBreed]

It really breaks up the flow having to keep clicking every one and a half minutes. Can't we have the entire thing on one vid?

[Gevzh]

@Fpiet Likely his are the best because of the insights he makes here!

@ZombieDragQueen yes indeed, Alan Moore made the argument very clear about 'crossing the line' in Killing Joke.

Being a cop would mean less freedom to do what you want to get done, as I said before he has the money! So he doesn't need to go that route.

He also wanted to take responsibility on himself, not share it, because morality rests on the notion of personal responsibility, and to generate fear, outlandishness.

Batman had a computer btw!

I think Arkham Asylum is more like a work of art.

@natmanprime

I think maybe a lot of them would grow up to become cops and attorneys or fight maffia syndicates via cyberterrorism. The point is that most people with that kind of traumas have a clearly defined idea of what is good and evil. That is what Moore tried to do in Killing Joke, he showed how easy it is to transgress the lines between good (sane) and evil (insane) - from Joker's perspective at least. Arkham Asylum graphic novel took it several steps further.

HashToker, thanks for these vids but you're really pissing people off by ruining the flow when you had more than enough time to put all 5 parts in one vid.

[foolsroad71]

Hash Toker - can you not string all these interviews together???

Great upload - but annoyingly small segments.

Thanks non the less ;)

I think alan moore is missing the point on batman.

Of course most people won't react that way to seeing their parents gunned down. If they did, there would be batmen everywhere. The point IS that it's unusual. That's why there's only one batman in the comics. It IS a weird thing to do. That's the IDEA.

People act weird and crazy when these things happen to them. If you are a rich enough to indulge in your fantasy then you DO it.

If you are not so rich, then YES, you don't do it.

@JDA315 He is just head and arms. The head is for making up stories and the arms are for writing them down! xD

[JDA315]

it's like he's just head and arms, so alan moore his work is ridiculous(ly good)

[OwzyB]

His superpower is his will
