In most films, I can understand that. But for Endgame, there were long stretches (like the one in the clip) that were nothing but poses and soaring music made especially for audiences to react wildly to.

Miyazaki was quoted in the New Yorker as saying children ought to see each of his movies only once a year, at most.

The best way to survive an apocalyptic wasteland is to know how to do something useful. Be a doctor or a pharmacist. Know how to weld or grow mushrooms or do electrical work.

Why keep paintings around? Most people will just see the jpegs and prints. Just knock down the galleries and put up an Applebee’s.

So whose window do I need to throw a brick through?

A LOT of TV actors eventually direct episodes. Rainn Wilson and John Krasinski both directed episodes of the office, mostly to become eligible for the Directors’ union without spending any money making an independent film, but also because it really pads out an IMDB page.

Maybe not the BEST movie of the decade, but if you wanted to sum up the 2010s with a single movie, Fury Road is a pretty solid choice.

I firmly believe the market will correct itself and if it doesn’t then we only have ourselves to blame.

Dude, have you read anything of his since the 80s? He’s in LOVE with exciting new, weird ideas. Maybe too much!

If you want non-white protagonists, LGBT representation, and a diverse set of creators, you need to go indy. Fuck Marvel and DC. It takes a little effort to get into the scene and find the good stuff, but it’s worth it.

The Bumper Book of Magic has been “coming soon” on Top Shelf’s sales page for nigh on a decade now. I know Steve (no relation) Moore is dead, but come on! There’s literally no other book like what that one’s promised to be, and literally no one else in the entire world who’s qualified to finish it.

It’s very important to consider that maybe...

The people who say that tend to like ONLY escapist entertainment.

Counterpoint: are any of the superhero movies made today all that different in terms of characterization, theme, or plot from the stories drawn in the 60s, when Moore grew up, or the 80s, when he actually wrote for DC?

Superhero comics and films are engaging with the 21st century Is it engaging as radically as a lot of us would like? Not exactly, not yet.

You can actually narrow it down to the 3 things he doesn’t like: DC and Marvel, comic book movies, and people asking him about the first two things.

Nope. He grew up on the old Marvel comics, and genuinely admired their creativity and artistry. He was overjoyed getting to work with Superman and Batman and Swamp Thing and the Charleston characters.

Is that the one where the guy with the red suit sacrifices himself and proves he’s not an asshole, or the one where the guy with the blue suit sacrifices himself for no reason?

That’s because SOME people have wrapped their entire personalities around the pop culture they consume. They’ve essentially turned cheap pulpy kidlit into a religion, and Alan Moore just said “You’re not in a religion, you’re in a cult, and your god is kind of evil and stupid.”
