Alan Moore, that bearded hippie from England who thinks he's a "magician" wont shut up. Uhhh, the eccentrical Englisman living in his own "magical" sphere has a problem with those nasty, nasty movie-people again. That's so lame, that's so pathetic, that's so 1962 and you just don't get it. You had your 15 minutes in 1986. You're history by now.

You're just a comic writer and nobody has ever heard of you outside the world of comics. You're writing genre-fiction for a minority of idiots who think that a new version of "Aquaman" could be great if only they could get YOU to write it. Why don't you write a real book for a change? But no more of that crappy poetry please! It's almost as bad as the films of your magikal brother Kenneth Anger.

And what is your problem with "V"? Didn't you read the contract? So, just stop all that whining. You've been crying enough after that horrible movie "League of extraordinary Gentlemen" came out. It's getting boring and it's not like you wrote "War & Peace" or the bible. Most of your stuff after "Watchmen" was pure trash anyway. ("Supreme"? You gotta be kidding! Or the other one about, well, superheroes...?) And they will have to change little things when they turn your stuff into movies all the time, you know? Right, you don't watch movies and you don't have a telephone. But didn't you get a lot of money anyway?

Quote: Mr. Lloyd, the illustrator of "V for Vendetta," also found it difficult to sympathize with Mr. Moore's protests. When he and Mr. Moore sold their film rights to the graphic novel, Mr. Lloyd said: "We didn't do it innocently. Neither myself nor Alan thought we were signing it over to a board of trustees who would look after it like it was the Dead Sea Scrolls." (New York Times)

Meanwhile there is a lot of talk on the net about "V for Vendetta" going on. Revolutionary, terrorist, superhero or none of the above?
