[Artificial Idiot]

Pfft, everyone and their mum seems to be interviewing Alan Moore at the moment... Where does he find the time to actually write anything?

[longmanshort]

My mum hasn't ...

[Artificial Idiot]

I bet she could if she asked...

[Rex Banner]

If she does get her to ask about more Halo...

[Funt Solo]

Cheers for that, matthewvic.

I love his response to V for Vendetta - sort of "get your own sybmol of freedom from oppression - rather than fuck around with mine."

[Carlsborg Expert]

I like a lot of what he has to say, so far.

[Art]

It does seem like he has a lot of spare time...

[Art]

...oh, and the interview is entirely about movies.

[Quirkafleeg]

He does seem to be shouting out 'I want nothing to do with these films!' rather a lot...

[Rex Banner]

Does anybody know how DC 'kind of tricked' him out of the rights to V & Watchmen?

[longmanshort]

It wasn't DC who tricked him over V, but in terms of Watchmen (and this has been discussed a lot on the recent Meg review thread) he was working for DC and they retained the copyright on the work he did for them. In the contract Moore and Lloyd signed with DC, it said the copyright would revert to the pair when the graphic novel went out of print. It hasn't.

Like Artificial Idiot, upon reading the thread title 'Alan Moore Interviewed', my immediate thought was "what, again??"

[JOE SOAP]

Why shouldn't he have the time to be interviewed, he's written the best comics for the last 30 years. He can do what the fuck he wants & deserves it.

[Art]

...though perhaps the interviewers should find something a little more original to do with their time - or perhaps ask less boring and obvious questions. I think Alans Moores feelings about comic-book movies is ground that has been well and truly covered.
