So, hey, what does Alan Moore think of the Watchmen movie, and Zack Snyder and the (super shitty) 300?



I would rather not know [anything about the movie. Snyder] may very well be [a nice guy], but the thing is that he's also the person who made 300. I've not seen any recent comic book films, but I didn't particularly like the book 300. I had a lot of problems with it, and everything I heard or saw about the film tended to increase [those problems] rather than reduce them: [that] it was racist, it was homophobic, and above all it was sublimely stupid. I know that that's not what people going in to see a film like 300 are thinking about but...I wasn't impressed with that.... I talked to [director] Terry Gilliam in the '80s, and he asked me how I would make Watchmen into a film. I said, ''Well actually, Terry, if anybody asked me, I would have said, 'I wouldn't.''' And I think that Terry [who aborted his attempted adaptation of the book] eventually came to agree with me. There are things that we did with Watchmen that could only work in a comic, and were indeed designed to show off things that other media can't.



Oh my.

Not taken in any sort of dickheaded way smile - it's a good question. I like those.

Um. Don't know, can't afford it... I think there's enough staging in theatre to decouple it from the backbrain. Also, enough conscious choice ("Hey, let's go see ... "). And you have to pay to get in.

I could be wrong, because I never go.
