Y'alright comic lads? Not sure if anybody caught this, but I had to let you all know that Alan Moore did a really good interview with Alan Moore that was broadcast just last night.
Maybe not breaking new ground if you're already a fan, but as someone who didn't know much about him, I found it really interesting:
>>3384 I'm sure that would make an interesting Alan Moore book.
I saw the interview a couple of nights ago, and was actually pretty impressed with his outlook in some respects. How he has no problem with the appropriation of V, and that his main beef with the film adaptations isn't that they're did them but that they insisted on tying his name to them. I particularly loved the segment they've extracted here, where he's fairly honest about his motivation for selling the film options.
>>3387 Nice one, lad. Regular viewers will notice that Steven Sackur looks a little different. (The interviewer is actually Tim Franks. Yes, I was sad enough to flag it up for the Beeb.)
>>3404 Fucking Shit Buckets a new 1,000,000 word opus by Alan Moore all based on the area covered by a public toilet in Northampton. Spanning the time from when it were but a hole in the ground through to the 'fucking shit buckets' of the title. It promises to be a masterwork of poetic allegory and occultist musing on mans ability to work, love drink and defecate all within the same few square meters of squalid earth. Expected to be finished by the time it starts getting a bit nippy in hades.
>Alan Moore Interviews Alan Moore, or Fucking Shit-Buckets >This is new work depicts Alan Moore in a dialogue with a fictionalised version of himself. Through this medium, it investigates in depth the morality of the creative industries, from appropriation and perversion of existing material (such as Moore's own Lost Girls), through to the fast-and-loose attitude of those executives at the top of the industry (the titular "fucking shit-buckets").
