That's not what he said. He said that during the trial he felt like he was being prosecuted for blowing up a school bus of retarded children. Plagiarism is the lesser crime in this analogy.

Probably true.

He doesn't go to Sting concerts all that often.

Looks at own post history and laughs.

I hate you.

Exactly. This reminds me of Port of Shadows which doesn't even retain a character from the original book, yet the author wept upon seeing it exclaiming something to the tune of, "You have changed it all and my intention has never been more perfectly stated."

I guess we can agree on that at least.

My god, I'm thinking of a world where I take Godard the human seriously and I don't even know how I could live.

Honestly I don't know how it could be any worse without it turning into an adaptation of The Authority.

I agree fully and I would assume that he is looking at it exclusively from a story point (in which case I guess Constantine, Swamp Thing, and From Hell are in the clear) and if it is reusing his explicit mechanics without a new voice entirely erasing his he turns into the Incredible Grump.

He's begging for change on 4th and Laurel.

Certainly it's not an argument I'd be keen to make, but that's the one he seems to be aiming for.

Darn, now what am I supposed to do?

Moore is making a difference between reinterpretation and adaptation though. He has argued he has never adapted anything before.

Yeah, it's not like we are seeing adaptations of Prometheus or other properties which I believe are owned by Moore. For the majority of his career he's worked for DC or its subsidiaries.

I legit think it is a great film actually; my favorite of the series. It's a great turn against the first film to show its humourous emptiness in its concerns for religions. It's also absolutely crazy with it being clear Boorman was on acid the entire time.

Yeah, at this point he probably doesn't care as long as he continues to be allowed to smoke weed and fuck his wife.

Yep.

Too bad he loves nothing in regards to Moore's intent.

No there isn't and Moore himself would disagree with you. He's arguing recycling thing in the ancient tradition of stealing shit to put your own spin on it while decrying a straightforward adaptation. Basically he's pro-fan fiction and anti-replication.
