You know what's crazy. I've started reading Watchmen for the first time and I searched "80's synth" or ambience or something, I don't remember, on spotify. Found a playlist that was perfect. Meanwhile I'm kind of binging all these Alan Moore videos, never heard of Steve Moore before Alan started mentioning him. Then yesterday, I was listening to the same playlist again.. and noticed that a lot of the tracks in the list were made by "Steve Moore" ... It's not the same Steve Moore, but still. It blew my mind. What kind of magic is this lol

air structu.

My mate Joe Cocker.

Can movements like BLM really be considered “counter culture” when they have the complete backing of almost every corporation and institution? You’re not really a revolutionary if you’re pushing against an open door…

This interviewer is bad

Grunge > britpop

Starts at 04:50

Thanks for sharing

11:34 - Huh, never heard about this psychological baby testing, I'll have to look that up 24:54 - Blistering condemnation, accurate and timeless 27:52 - Pop Will Eat Itself meta-outro is a wonderful finishing touch to this thoughtful production Thank you so much for the upload!

Bloody brilliant that enjoyed every minute

Would be interesting to hear Alan's updated 'Top 10 Existential Threats' list today... the cold-war threat of nuclear annhiliation sounds frankly quaint and merciful in 2024.

What doez dhe shirt say?? "SAY YO TO DOUG"??

Light years ahead of there time these gentleman's deconstruction of "heroes " is a literary achievement in the comic book medium

Amazing documentary, highly intelligent questions and analysis. Thanks for sharing

I thought the host looked familiar; it's Rick Green, co-creator of The Red Green Show.

there were Shaman like him in the long-gone passed - no longer anymore perhaps - alas -

The music that plays in the intro is great!! Does anyone knows the name?

Thing is with Alan's snake worship is that he worships a god he KNOWS is false and doesn't consider that a big deal. His explanations of his magic have always said that it could just be read as a mixture of psychology, in the way that meditation doesn't require any supernatural beliefs even if it often comes with them, and art. And yeah historically it seems art / psychology / magic were all much of one thing back when. Or at least he says so plausibly. So I can't see a rationalist having a problem with Alan's beliefs. If I had to guess, I'd say Alan sees it both ways, as a metaphor, but also as something with real reality to it, and maybe errs just on the side of it being actual real magic. Him continuing to worship a god that's completely debunked, on purpose, is a great way to do it.

Yep, he’s my favorite storyteller. Please don’t disappoint me like Roman Polanski, Mr. Moore!

I say. We support the children, teens, and young adults alike. Teaching them good manners. Not indoctrinate them to blind socialism or the occurrence of the 2016 youth riot movements. Especially in China on 2019. I know it happened, but it didn't resonate with me at all. That's is something I would like to forget. Like the young people trying reclaim the power from the older generation would do more bad and harm. Than being considered good and justified. Reclaiming power will not do them any favors. I am glad these events were never heard from again. It was definitely the right thing. Forget these incidents, and future generations don't even want to acknowledge it.

I still think Gruenwalds Squadron is as good, and released just a little time before Watchmen but is somehow forgotten

what drugs was he taking ?

14:15 Magick

I think it is a mistake calling Watchmen best superhero comic or superhero comic at all, when there are so many deep layers inside. Plus, it's deconstruction of superheroes, how then can be a superhero comic?

Thankfully 90's era passed and Watchmen wasn't cast within that era. Though, would be interesting to see, but only as alternative/additional thing.

This guy is a gem.

It's from 2001 actually.

If anyone could translate this video for the rest of us, we would all be extremely grateful😊

True about modern home recording. I did my first stuff on an 8 track machine. I did my best/polished stuff on as many tracks as I wanted. The earlier stuff sounds more desperate and energetic with me having to play the whole song from start to finish thus it means more to me. There is now no reason to make any more music. There is no demand or appreciation. I moved on to art, found the same situation; then to writing and found no one had any concentration after scrolling all day. Finally, I'm writing for someone else who has an audience in place. To be an artist is almost like a curse. But I'm very grateful to have even a chance to get 'out there' in any way.

Does anybody Know where to find Alan Moore’s mailing address? I’ve gotta send him lengthy fan letters

I remember reading Watchmen back in 86, will never forget reading through issue 11, and nearly dropping the book when I got to the penultimate page and read the words "I did it 35 minutes ago." It has never been equalled and probably never will be.

Watching this interview from past with real comic book writers shows the juxtaposition for today DC and marvel writers. New comic books writer, books, and story is utter garbage from marvel and DC.

My sincerest belief, without any knowledge of science or time, is that as your die, the last few impulses in your brain imagine an eternity. So even after your brain has decayed and there are no more neurons or whatever, you are still perceiving this world, whatever form that takes. Although has someone who has sort of secluded themselves mostly for years and years, I can safely say likely you don't go mad, your body and brain just rot away and your cognition isn't there anymore, your body fucks up, you don't understand people or life. I wish I had the touch of madness these people like Moore have. The sad reality is that being a lonely old man (I am 30 but feel old, very old) is tediously dull and suicide inducing, but there is little illuminating there.

Paul Kaye is frighteningly good as Terry <3

Jerusalem was best book I've read since lockdown. Just thought I'd, clarify, I think its more profound than most books of the 20th century and I think the 21st century will have a hard time topping it. I know there's a lot genius novels from the 20th and withe the paradigm shifts awaiting us this could be a tad hyperbolic but like it or not Jerusalem was genius.

>believe in the tenets of Marxism >wear enough jewelry to feed 5 African villages for a day WOW MUCH COUNTERCULTUAL ICON NOT HYPOCRITICAL AT ALL

counterculture = CIA Tavistock Hippie SHIT!!

Alan Moore enjoys the smell of his own farts.

The internet destroyed unified counterculture.

counterculture is in COMICSGATE

A very interesting show. It's like space ghost. The editing from the show definitely feels early 90's. I wonder when this was released and played on tv? Alans last bit of talking speaks the truth.

Just to make it clear, only the last fifteen minutes or so of this talks about the movie. The majority is about L Frank Baum and his life and his writing the books (which incidentally are far more trippy than the movie. The books are FREAKY!)

I have one gripe. He needs to stop hiding in bathrooms.

Option as a movie! 19 years later we finally got that movie,and honestly its great.

Thank u

Moore fans I highly recommend the new audio production of Voice of the Fire. It really captures the atmosphere of the book

Props to you man! Definitely one of the greatest videos I've watched in a while.

Alan Moore is probably one of the few well known people that if you met him in person wouldn't disappoint you.

This comparative intro didn't age well in the real world

the aphex twin tracks in the background lmao
