One time I was reading The Invisibles and listening to The Velvet Underground on vinyl - the song All Tomorrow's Parties, and I turn the page and the next issue title is "All Tomorrow's Parties".....insane
The question should be - how many times have you turned pages and not had a sense of greater connection?
I like to believe in the magical world view, but time & time again, I am tripped up.
ergo, Venus infers...
Michael, consider...did Grant plant the song in your head, or did you reach back and stick it in his head?
So many crazy coincidences happened to me reading the invisibles, more than any other work. Its such a magical series
@@BartzAJohnsonJr I really like this question. Sparks firing in my mind!
Possibly the sanest insane person in comics :-)
i'd say one of two - the other being alan moore
I’m reading invisibles right now and it’s blowing me away in how fun, imaginative, dark, inspirational, insane it is. By the time I’m done reading there’s no doubt this will be one of my favorite works of fiction ever
Was it?
Invisibles is fantastic. I think The Filth is his masterpiece.
The most challenging of Grant's work and also the most rewarding. I'm never not discovering things in it. I will take All-Star Superman for my feels though.
@@BrendanMcGinley I read it and it continuously blew my mind, but vol. 3 was so boring and had children’s story book art…I’m ashamed to say I couldn’t finish it, do you think it’s worth going back and finishing? I thought volume 1 and 2 were mind blowing with the exception of the poets arc.
@@BrendanMcGinley Oh yeah it also put a sour taste in my mouth when he goes on a rant of people saying the inconsistent art jarring (I didn’t mind it myself until vol. 3 because the action scenes all go from serious to slapstick comedy). Because if he really believes this why didn’t he have multiple writers as well?it just came off as pretentious because it’s such an easily understandable criticism.
I said to my school friend when I returned to Scotland after many, many years absence "Do you ever hear of Grant Morrison from Mosspark Primary? " (I had a bit of thing about him when I was 11 years old) to which my friend said "Where had I been hiding all these years?" I was really gobsmacked to find out how famous he had become. Going to watch this when I come back from the Seashore.
I would pay to make a Hideo Kojima/Grant Morrison collab happen
Well, you have pen, and paper...
Pensive Scarlet This. Don’t wait up on other people to make the leg work of what you want to see them do.
@@Pensive_Scarlet rest in peace
Grant Morrison lives by the philosophy of accepting the darkness and utter meaninglessness of the Universe and giving it the middle finger truly an inspiration
Where he spoke of magic and his experience in kathmandu i had to pause to go run an errand, hopped in my car & when i turned on the radio the song You Can Do Magic by America had came on 🌝
Damn, *The Lovin' Spoonful's* _'Do you believe in Magic'_ would have been more apt...
:- )
One time I did a money spell with a particular friendly "demon" so I went out to get a lottery ticket, while I was in the car the song "money, that's what I want" came on the radio right before I got to the gas station to buy the ticket and I ended up winning.
@@cultofthevoid5677 hah nice experience, i had more inner spiritual experiences with spirits beats drugs any day
What a fabulous documentary. I am just getting back into comics and this guy is a reason why I find the medium so fascinating.
You forget his arch enemies Warren Ellis and Alan Moore.

Magnificent!!! Grant Morrison is one of the greatest writers that ever lived!!!
Grant is now personally adapting the invisibles for TV. It's going to be a remake set in 2020
hmm.
Wow...this can ONLY be done with his involvement and hopefully a great crew of folks along with him. But that will be pretty interesting to see this brought to the small screen. But even so, that will be tough...
Sounds too good to be true
@@babyfactory587 I hate changing timelines. So the 'end of sentence' or whatever it was did not happen in 2012 after all? What about events like Princess Diana's death or the attack of Asahara's sect, they were not important to the story after all? Sortof sad, really.
You been watching Happy? It is pretty much set in that universe, but in the states.
HO-LY-FUCK. this thing just blew me away. as one of those dorks that HATED reading Grant Morrison stuff, this totally made me love him and inspires me to do more art. Thanks for this.
You’re cringe
I used to not really understand Morrison when I was younger. Wrote him off as a quack. I then started dabbling in psychedelics, and he puts things into words that I never could. He is one of my favorite writers if not my absolute favorite. Genius.
Pretty sad
@@abcs123s3 why is it sad lol?
@@60sspider-man29 I agree, because even Morrison himself and people who knew him said the drugs didn’t start till later, so this guy needing to do drugs to see the value in his amazing stories pure delusion.
I bought this as a DVD almost 10 years ago and I have watched it about a 100 times
I really think people say final crisis doesn't make sense (not that they don't like it, but that it's incomprehensible) need to take the time, and read seven soldiers and all the associated tie ins. I used the dc universe reading list, which it was much larger, and I can't imagine reading just 1-7 of final crisis (like everybody said was enough). Take the time, and its a fantastic story. One of my favorite events honestly.
A fabulous fabulous film about a beautiful, deeply compassionate man.
i have had that magical journey, and I understand and appreciate his journey and diary in his works
The interesting thing is that despite all his esoteric experience and ideas, he mostly comes off as being a regular, down to earth person.
Did you know?
Grant Morrison's tears cure ego corruption, too bad he never cries.
This was phenomenal. Love Grant Morrison and his works.
Why just 80 minutes? this could be a 120 or 140 minutes documentary T.T Grant Morrison worth it.

I am assuming Julian Darius and Patrick Meaney only had so much of a budget. Plus this is the regular edition.
It should keep going until time itself stops. Sadly, we don't have that technology.....yet.
This is an incredible, high-quality work.
My former self despised Morrison on my Moore bias.
And it was Sequart's posts and recommended readings that pointed me to admire this man's remarkable and groundbreaking work.
Like him or hate him, it's really hard to imagine anyone else that love comics as Grant Morrison does.
Thank you very much for this video. Subscribed for good.
I'm glad to have been a part of this...
This is one of the best things ever thanks so much for posting it here
This is inspirational:) Thank You.
Mint documentary! What a story.❤❤❤💫 thankyou.
My favorite comic book that Grant Morrison wrote was his Doom Patrol run from 1989-1992. I just love the absurdity of the entire run. He made every character interesting. My favorite story out of the run is the Candlemaker story. It's frightening & absurd at the same time. The Chief's heel turn in that story made me to never look at the Chief the same way again.
This was a terrific documentary. This needs more views
Beautiful. Grant is my favorite writer and I've watched this before but I will watch it again to support projects like this. Thank you so much!
Amazing documentary, real and totally authentic ❤️🙏
I still own the DVD
I've watched this about 50 times since it was released
so glad i watched this, so much respect for grant morrison
Oh man, I remember watching this in the big screen even this came out. It was so interesting
ty for sharing
Brilliant Bio what an amazing man so down to earth and yet his incredible imagination is so out of this world . I wonder how Grant feels about the comic strip story Covid world we find ourselves living in today !
Wow. Talk about coincidental timing: I just started playing X2: Wolverine's Revenge again, and that game is based off of Grant Morrison's New X-Men comic run.
This is the best documentary I've ever seen, maybe because I love Grant's works so much that knowing his origins makes me happy.
You mean his?
@@dddaaa6965 yes "his"
Superb documentary on one of the greatest imaginations of the modern era. I cannot recommend The Invisibles highly enough.
I don't watch too many films on YT and this is the first time I read automatic subtitles. While it mostly works for Grant's American colleagues and friends, with his own Scottish accent the sentences sometimes make no sense at all. Amazing.
Lmao nice
You could wean yourself into it with 'The Limmy Show' or 'Bornistoun' - both available on YT
Really like Grant Morrison ,great person very talented.
Love this; definitely a personal hero of mine and can relate to everything he says.
Same here. He is the reason I am still alive.

I haven't read any of Moore, or Morrison's works (something to that similarity in name structure I'm sure). However, I am very interested in writers and how they create. I find it fascinating the similarities between Moore and Morrison, especially as it pertains to the practice of magic and world views. Anyhow, Moore talks about the idea of the "logos"; the word, that which is responsible for all of creation: In the beginning there was the word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. Essentially, Morrison views as writing as a shamanic practice meant to inform and bring one self closer to the true self. Unfortunately, most art/shamanism has been subverted to serve a lesser purpose ie: to make money. So, essentially what from my limited understanding Moore and Morrison are both shamans that appeared around the same time? Which is also interesting as Moore talks about the morphogenic field, that spawns information and innovation in humanity. This occurs many times, but the steam engine didn't exist for millions of years and within the space of a couple weeks it is invented by many people, who had no means of contact in that time period. Moores and Morrison, both a product of the morphogenic field.
Moore is a half dead incomprehensible hunchback now, meanwhile morisson looks the same as 20 years ago and is having fun producing works still.
That was a great documentary
45:40 that. That’s exactly been my experience with writing. It’s hard to force it, but when it just flows, it’s like it’s out of your hands. Characters are just themselves, not created or anything. They just are and they act.
Great film! What a guy.
Just asking….. did anybody here read Promethea by Alan Moore? Seems like the subject matter would be of interest……
In a word: "Fan-Dabby-Dozey". Excellent Docu. He's a very interesting bloke.
amazing
What an amazing magical magician of a man
That was class. Fascinating guy. There's a great podcast on BBC sounds that has Frankie Boyle interviewing Grant. It's called chain reaction.
What a legend.
This was extremely eye opening. Glad I got to finally finish
That's what she said?
@@Skinnybrandotron I can't call it but possibly
WOW! Amazing documentary! This hit me on so many levels! I knew of Grant for a long time but never really looked into him and just amazing! I wish I could reach out to him and have a chat or just let him know that there are lots of "youth" becoming Gnostic warriors as he put it I think? Or basically a resurgence of magick, Alchemy and awakening! I personally practice magick, do psychedelic work, like to think of myself as kind of a mystic of sort and the visons I have had are sooo similar to his (and many others!) and without knowing his visons just confirms like he says in the end that we are on to something! I have see the "blob" aliens also not on DMT like McKenna but just smoking cannabis! I call them amoebas or thats what they looked like to me with galaxies inside their weird little bodies and they told me "Remember!!! Try to Remember! Create! Here like this!" then they did some things....lol But yeah so many weird things in my life matched up to Grants mainly the visions and magick part. What a beautiful mind! We are ONE thing! We are one being and we are just about to be born I believe and then ohhhh boy will it be awesome! lol
I love this.
Then marry it
i love this doc so much. ive watched it so many times thru out the years. anyone know who did all the music that appears thru out? i love it so much
My band LIVING FICTION wrote a few songs that the director used in this doc! Thanks for the compliments!
Some people have more magic than others at different times in our life
This is so James Hillman, as in we're born with a purpose and choose the best parents to help us achieve this purpose.
any chance you guys could upload dvd bonus footage?
Cmon man, this is a free movie on RUclips. I get where you are coming from, but learn to just appreciate what you get for free.
Good documentary about an interesting bloke.
I wish this movie was called "Talking Shite With Gods"
He’s a genius.
Great documentary. Was hoping that Gerard Way was going to be in it somewhere, but it was great all the same
Feck it...I'm gonna have to read invisibles again...still haven't got a feckin clue what's goin on..
If everyone’s a Chaos Magician now, do we need some Order Magic..?
That would be what Ceremonial Magic is lol
I may be biased but I do believe this movie fucking rocks
❤
Wow!! Grant looks a lot or little depending on the gunk on your eyes , like Spider Jerusalem. A healthier and less manic tho. Spider Jerusalem is the main protagonist in Transmetropolitan of DC comics under their Vertigo imprint. Y'all should check it out.
I was reading Hunter S. Thompson around the same time I read Transmetropolitan (great book), and got that Hunter vibe for sure. As an aside I highly recommend reading The Lost Highway series by Hunter S. Thompson. It's a collection of ALL of his writings Thompson had been obsessively preserving since his youth.
Would you consider adding English subs? As a non-native I can only understand every third word or so of his accent.
From your name I suppose you are a spanish native speaker, if that's the case this docummentary can be found with spanish subs.
@@kalavera992 probably this video should be found with many subs but it is not, i'm italian and a search for a video with italian subs many times

This is guy i loves the occult lmao
Discovered this guy yesterday while looking up hypersigils. Going to a comic convention in 2 days. Coincidence?
Yes
I hope Marvel calls him to write on WH40k comics
That would be INSANE. I can't even imagine a Morrison story set in the grim darkness of the far future. Its an interesting thought.
QUE GENTINHA MALVADA.. ESTOU DESENFORMADO
listing to grant like 5 gram of psilocybin
1:11:10 Wait, what?😅 So, were they near a convention? I have a lot of questions...😂
So if you took a dose of acid right before watching this documentary, it should start kicking in at a good time.
Incredibly insightful, oh wait not it’s not, just the ramblings of an untalented drug addict.
Fascinating conversations but a pretty roughly directed film
Cool.
1:10:00 - all star superman
I thought Grant has a ted talk where he talks about taking psychedelic drugs. ...yet his friends claimed he doesn't do any drugs on here
did you watch it all? its mentioned he started drinking and trying drugs in his 30s
I think there are drugs, "heroin, crack etc" and drugs, "weed, mushies, acid" .
Aye ye Ken
Wrong place
Aye i ken
Ah the Tangled webs weave. Alan Moore and Mark Millar are mere mortals....mortal men . Crazed and driven rabid with the plague of insignificance. Morrision is a God
7:22 Douglas Wolk's Scottish accent sounds more Indian...
🤣🤣
36:25
The GOAT
OK Grant, everybody, like wow... Time to distil THESE lessons into your OWN creations, however Crude
Grant's become an amazing juggler of timelines, storylines - there's still a LOT of room at the bottom for more 'PunkRock' creations, both in Comix, Music and Film - for me, and for a lot of you'se, after READING Invisibles, anything I write is going to be a BIT 'Invisibles Universe' , and that's TOTALLY ok (just google Morrison/Moorcock, Gideon Stargrave/Jerry Cornelius - sometimes you need a vine to GROW around - at first) - and if WW3 IS kicking off (a perfect storm of conflicts around the Planet) somehow we NEED our dreams and mini-universes even MORE
Imagine, for a moment, that any fictional universe, places you visit/create in dream dimension, is where you get to spend your afterlife? It might not be a utopic one, but lets make it.. Interesting
Just in case Nuclear Vaporisation now IS round the corner?
Namaste

grants biographer is a bald guy... magick works :)
Part of me wants to try sigils. I'm not gonna do it, But I want to
Why not?
Why shouldn’t you lmao
thee's nothing too weird about it, (compatible with secular and rational values) we live surrounded by such symbols (dynamic brain scans show state correlations with corporate logos and religious symbols). It's like creating a logo for an activity or theme in your life that makes sense to you, advanced goal setting through symbols. Go ahead, the Grant Morrison technique is pretty solid (just target only yourself, never other people, and try to enhance some positive thing at first). Have fun!
@@SebastianChum huh. Maybe. What do you mean by not targeting other people
@@Seth-hc2bj don't make it about someone else would be my tip, focus on your own life mainly. Simple courtesy because it's not nice to make sigils about people if they don't know about it.
Yeah but if he is so smart, why is he bald?
Yeah, thought so. Checkmate.
Bald is sexy!

*Grant Morrison: Talking With demons - Official Full Film*
Gods demons, same thing different name. The God of the old testament sounds pretty demonic in alot of the shit he did, things aren't black and white. And one cultures gods is anothers demons.
Imagine if this guy did something other than what he does. Imagine if he were just a fry cook at Burger King, or a sales rep for some tech company, but everything else was the same... the clothing, the “chaos magic” and all that. Lol. This is an actual person, a grown man getting up there in years. Respect for his earlier works. Some of his later material is... well, lol, we’ll leave it there.
damn way to be judgmental. he is just living his life.
What am I supposed to imagine? Would what he says be any less meaningful if he were just a fry cook? I judge people by what they say and do not there job. And a lot of what he says rings true to me.
@@LeeChaeyeonsHusband I’ve been leaving disrespectful comments lately and was going to leave on to you because of how gayly you wrote that, but then I read your name and I listened to maybe 3 kpop songs my entire life and that name is one of the signers of one of the songs I enjoyed, Grant Morrison just used an anti bigot hyper sigil on me to stop my reign of terror.
