If there had never been a comic the movie would still suck.<BR/><BR/>The underlying problem here, specifically, is that while movies do not intrinsically suck by their just being movies, the attitude of the people who make wannabe-blockbusters is that viewers will not appreciate any stories that don't fit into the Generic Action Movie Template.Rodneyliveshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03476187929555342435noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22073066.post-1142438357429310412006-03-15T10:59:00.000-05:002006-03-15T10:59:00.000-05:00Isn't Moore's problem with filmic adaptations of h...Isn't Moore's problem with filmic adaptations of his work that they're filmic adaptations of his work?

He's often repeated the story of the writer who was asked what he thought of Hollywood "ruining" his books. The writer replied that they hadn't been ruined at all - "there they are, right there on the shelf." The reason he's criticized the script to <EM>V</EM> is because Joel Silver claimed Moore was "very excited" about the adaptation. <EM>That's</EM> what offended him, not the quality of the adaptation itself.Koala Mentalahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02538864881184797067noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22073066.post-1142390526909968592006-03-14T21:42:00.000-05:002006-03-14T21:42:00.000-05:00Except I know other people like that, who aren't i...Except I know other people like that, who aren't involved in sequential art. You don't have to be in comics to have an ego. You don't actually even have to be employed, heh.Rodneyliveshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03476187929555342435noreply@blogger.com
