Watchmen's Alan Moore in a Rock Opera

he's one of the best writers in the business, but i hate this pretentious prick

He said he loved the animated adaptation of "WSuperman: For the Man who has Everything".

Don't know what everyone is on about calling him pretensious.

This news shivers me timbers. MsKyle, will you marry me? I have a ring. Well, it's a green lantern ring.

BETTY @ I'll marry you, if it's a GL RING!!!!?! ; D

Is it a real GL ring Betty? :)

back off lee.lol.

@ frank garret

i say that because he shits all over everything. people make movies of his stories, and before they even start production he's saying its going to be an unsuccessful adaptation. like his work is so good that its impossible to make a movie out of. i think v for vendetta and watchmen totally proved that, in the right hands, even his brilliant work can be made into a near perfect movie. but he doesn't even give it a chance.

Wow Alan Moore wanting to collaborate...?

@ betty

LMAO!!!!!!!!!!

I find the people who trash Moore as pretentious are really pretentious. They're making a judgment without even trying to know all the sides. How would you feel if movie studios took all your work and made garbage adaptations out of them. But think about it, if Moore was really a jerk, he could have fought hard against studios from ever adapting his work. Instead, he just took the back seat. I'm surprised that people here don't understand Moore's passion for the comic book medium or how bad most of his movie adaptations were. He has the right to not be interested. And, he's not even stopping people from making adaptations or watching movies. So really why are people so offended by his opinions? All he has done was contribute to comics and while letting movie studios adapt his work for profit. Then people attack him after movie studios left him jaded? He tried to work with them at first but now he wants no part. Nothing wrong there.

And by the way, Moore may come off as strange but he's a nice guy.

@Betty...perv!

fanboiii--he seems cool.

@ fanboii

so i'm pretentious for having a certain opinion of moore?? and by the way, i don't just make silly observations. i've read many interviews with moore where he explains exactly where he's coming from. i'm not making a baseless opinion. also, moore CAN'T stop his work from being made into movies. he doesn't own the rights to watchmen or v for vendetta in ANY way. not the movie rights, OR the comic rights, OR the character rights, so he can try all he wants, but he has no legal ground to stand on.

i also know that he claims DC "tricked" him into not having the rights to his characters, which is why he broke away from big comic companies in favor of having creator owned properties, and more power to him for that. but my point is, don't say its impossible to adapt his work, when it clearly is NOT. especially when you don't even know what's going on with a certain project. if he had some kind of insider informations saying they were F'in up his stories, then fine, but that is NOT the case with V or Watchmen, yet he shunned them before pre-production even started. and if you've see V or Watchmen, then you know that no message, plot points, or characterizations were changed in ANY way. those are VERY successful adaptations. but how would he know? he never even gave them a chance. i will give him credit for not taking any liberties from the film's earnings though.

BETTY @ I don't either!!! Thats TEA'S job!!! ; D

Lol @ InSpace!!

lol...Betty..im gonna have to think about it.

lol @ Ror: That was creative

one man's meat keven. ;)

@ lex

yeah, things were changed in V, but the point of the story was still there, and the anarchist side of things was there as well, it was plain to see. maybe not in great depth like the book, but they were definately there. my point is, the things that matter were all intact.
