“Looked at the sky through smoke heavy with human fat, and God was not there. The cold, suffocating dark goes on forever, and we are alone. This rudderless world is not shaped by vague metaphysical forces. It is not God who kills the children, not Fate that butchers them, or Destiny that feeds them to the dogs. It’s us. Only us…”
That, my friends, is a line from a comic book. The Watchmen. It kicks ass. Alan Moore wrote it. This guy is amazing. The Mindscape Of Alan Moore is a movie about this great man. He looks like a mashup of Rob Zombie and Ian Anderson, and he’s a Magician. Yup. Cool guy. In addition to The Watchmen, he also wrote From Hell, V for Vendetta, The League Of Extraordinary Gentlemen, and (this sounds odd, but it’s real) an amazingly cool run of Swamp Thing comics. All those movies were corrupted from Alan Moore’s great comic books. Yup. It was the Swamp Thing that kick started the comic book revival of the eighties and nineties. He and Frank Miller… good stuff. Ok. Watch this video. It’s good. Alan Moore is brilliant. Try it. Read his shit, por favor.
I love the structure of this post. And the video is brilliant. This comment is a few days late but I’ve been wanting to send feedback, sans heure.
