Enjoy the show and want you to know it makes work pass much quicker. However, factual errors make me grind my teeth as it's like being part of a conversation whilst gagged and muzzled and unable to respond. Alan Moore did NOT put his name on the League of Extraordinary Gentlemen film. Before, during, and after, he publicly distanced himself from the project and maintained his usual detached position. As to sombody's comment that he either shouldn't allow the adaptation to be made or else quit whining, he doesn't allow it. He can't stop it either, as he doesn't have and has never had the legal ability to veto the films being made. Moviemakers including Terry Gilliam were trying back in the '80s to make Watchmen, and asked Moore for advice and opinions. He always replied that he thought the comics should not be adapted and it was a waste of time to try. Also, I'd have liked to have heard your opinions on the Hellboy movies. Maybe next time. And of course, Catwoman, surely the greatest comic book movie ever made. Ho ho. Keep up the good work! x Hola! Enjoy the show and want you to know it makes work pass much quicker.
