@orenwolf @pesco Not one but three autoplaying videos. Possibly the same one but I skipped ahead to comment
worksforme? They’re just Youtube videos?
Not sure I want to be in that dude’s head. There’s a fair amount of racism, misogyny, and sexual violence in there.
Thanks, yes, I swapped in the YouTube videos as soon I noticed the autoplay.
Alan Moore has (in the past) created some of the greatest works of comic-book (or whatever you want to call it) fiction.
These days, he’s a bizarrely awful old crank whose head I wouldn’t want to spend five seconds inside. (i.e., his recent rant about Marvel movies being ‘white supremacist’ in nature and how the original superheros were the KKK in “Birth of a Nation”)
As many interesting and thought provoking things as Moore says re: the culture (whether you agree with him or not re: the infantalizing and/or fascist nature of superheros, it’s at least worth thinking about), the “magic” stuff is some remarkably meaningless gibberish.
Thanks. Though I suppose a wall of auto play might allow the simulation of the inside of Allan Moore’s head.
I’ve never seen somebody as full of contempt for the industry they work in as Alan Moore.
Just imagine what’s in Frank Miller’s head.
Im not a fan, but i just saw the part if this interview here where he talks about V for Vendetta (scroll down fir that question):
Pretty sure it’s filled with even more hair.
Evidently, Frank Miller has gone through some changes. Sobriety? Therapy? He’s not quite the same guy who went full crazy after 9/11.
The real series is “Inside Alan Moore’s beard.”
Don’t forget his bilious anger at the new and popular stuff for being new and popular, instead of the early-20th and late-19th century pulpy popular schlock he unironically loves.
