MOORE AND MOORE

Hope you're enjoying the mix up posted below. But in other news, not sure if anyone loving their comics like I do, but the Watchmen Trailer if fresh off the press....

Now for those who don't already know about Watchmen, then you should. It was written by England's very own Alan Moore, and is undoubtedly, on the greatest Graphic novels of all time. I won't spoil it, just in case you get your eyes round to reading it, but think dystopian, think the darker aspects of being a superhero, questions of morality, authority and visceral emotions ... Also some of the most intricate storytelling ever.

Will the film live up to the Graphic Novel. Probably not, although at least Zack Snyder is directing it, about the only director (bar Nolan's recent efforts) who I could actually trust to do this sheez ...

Soooo ... Alan Moore is like the coolest comic writer ever. Other works that you must check out are of course.... From Hell, The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen and Swamp Thing. Ignore the films, of course.

One final thing ... A bit of Trivia courtsy of imdb.com ...

When asked in an interview with ReelzChannel.com about original 'Watchmen' writer Alan Moore's dismissal of his movie, Snyder was quoted as saying "Worst case scenario - Alan puts the movie on his DVD player on a cold Sunday in London and watches and says, 'Yeah, that doesn't suck too bad.'"

When this was brought up with Moore himself in a later interview in the British Tripwire comics fanzine, the writer commented "That's the worst case scenario? I think he's underestimated what the worst case scenario would be... that's never going to happen in my DVD player in 'London' [Moore very famously lives in Northampton]. I'm never going to watch this fucking thing."

You get the idea ... Moore has been so disappointed with the treatment of his works by those over in Hollywood, he's had his name removed from all future movie adaption. Hopefully they won't f**k this one up.

Mostly Plimpin'
