Did Moore express himself on the movie? He doesn't want anything to do with it, but he never said that people shouldn't see it

i remember him asking people not to reward Joel Silver for his actions with their money (or something to that effect)

severely overrated.
think clockwork orange with slightly more intelligence and more relevant social commentary.

V for Vendatta is to Alan Moore as Ronin is to Frank Miller.

HUH?

Watchmen is overrated. V for Vendetta is way underrated, and in my opinion, better than watchmen.

Moore didn't want this movie made at all, then he was sent to script to read and hated what they did to a story that was very personal to him and told them
then Joel Silver misquoted him on the official website as loving it

then Moore got noisy

Moore only said anything because at the Press Conference for the movie Joel Silver said that they had the full support of Alan Moore in doing this movie.

Joel Silver said that Alan Moore loved the script. Alan Moore said, "ummmm, no. I hate it actually. And I told you guys not to use my name to promote this movie" Internal fighting ensues, and Alan Moore leaves DC comics (again).

The trailer looks pretty cool.

Respect for Alan Moore? I buy his comics, they're good. Otherwise, the guy is a complete fucking loony, and it means nothing if I "respect" him or not.

SethInAz · 07-23-2005, 08:45 AM

I want to read it first. Or should I?

Did Moore ask readers to not see it? I thought he had just decided to separate himself from all involvement from any movies related to his work. Isn't this a very different situation then the one you describe?
