By definition, normalcy and tragedy are mutually exclusive. And since absurd mental states may precede bursts of creativity, why would calling him "crazy" or "mad" be a pejorative, anyhow? Further, there is nothing particularly tragic, nor deficient, in valuing the mundane. Quite the inverse is true(-er).

Fascinating. What he says about magical experience is true, although he understates the dangers. I'm not sure if a lighthearted book on magic ritual is a good idea. It's only a fact that people have been driven mad by it. There is a reason why magic books are generally so hard to read. I guess that's changing now. Then again it's a free world (kind of) and he can do what he wants. I like the way he keeps grounded and rational, but is still brave and imaginative enough to embrace wider concepts. I've never read his work, but will now...

The danger in magick is to the ego. Since we now have a world being run on ego, then spreading magick can only be a good thing. People are already being driven mad by everyday society. Just trying to earn a living and navigate the sea of media-brainwash and black sorcery being pushed at them from all the ruling elites. Spreading lighthearted magick to the common person is not only a good idea, it's the best idea I've heard in a long time. Take a look around.

"New Age" is a marketing ploy or a psyop. Neither applies to my comments. BTW, I think the word you are looking for is "pursuit." Re: your comment: You could say the same thing about falling in love, having friends, or being part of a family, but that fails to cancel out the great joy that is also associated with those things. Levity is as much a part of human experience as gravity. Those who believe otherwise are rightly called "Saturnine." Their actions and karma speak for themselves.

Two hours well spent. I disagree with some of the things he says about comics, but so what. The first half really is a magical experience, and if it was all in Moore's head, wow, what a head! The second half demonstrates his enormous integrity and groundedness, and his love for Steve Moore. We should all have such a friend.

Watchmen is by far the best comic book ever made that even people who hate comics can get into. This is because all the Watchmen characters are more realistic versions of typical comic book heros, AND critical parodies of them at the same time! Night Owl is washed up Batman, Dr Manhattan is a detached inhuman Superman, The Comedian is a brutal sadistic Captain America, Silk Specter is a burnt out Wonder Woman, Rorschach is nihilistic inversion of The Spirit, and Ozymandias serves as the ultimate villain of the piece in so far as he thinks he is doing good, no matter how horrible he is, and how many people he kills, which is the worst kind of evil of all. Thats why its the greatest comic book 'hero' story ever written. And thats why Alan Moore is a genius story teller.

Yes. But you see, I for one don't *believe* in "inverted" superheroes, "washed-up" superheroes, or any such thing. And I don't see the need for them. 😏 (Especially not those devoid of any sense of humour or proportion, rather like their author.) Imo, Alan Moore is a great big bearded charlatan, who has succeeded in fooling a large number of people. 😏 What he has done to comics seems like a giant category mistake. He has basically removed all that is positive, from a basically fairy-tale-like form. If George Lucas had done the same with Star Wars, he would never have been successful Summary: Fans of modern comics need their heads examined! 😏

when Moore is describing his spiritual experience, he talks about how he found the entity to be charming, and a bit fun. It's humorous to me that the Goeta explicitly warns that Asmoday is a demon prone to deceive and betray those who call him, if the summoning has not been preformed properly. Furthermore, I suggest everyone google "asmodeus alan moore" to find his beautiful illustration of the entity.

The point was to connect to the magazine writing of Hardy and Dickens, etc. How you'd have to wait a month for the next chapter. But of course, my professor was vexed when the comic book issue releases came late. 😜

@@nachro2190 You would really need to ask Alan Moore that. From a couple of interviews of Moore I read a few years ago, I got the impression Moore didn't think much of Morrison's work and felt Morrison was copying, almost stalking, him. Moore said in the 80s and 90s practically everything he did, Morrison would then do. Moore wrote Watchmen; Morrison then wrote Doom Patrol. Moore wrote Marvelman; Morrison, Zenith. Moore, Killing Joke; Morrison, Arkam Asylum. etc etc. Then Moore got into Magic and soon enough so did Morrison. The final straw for Moore was in an interview he mentioned an idea he was tossing around for a new story and less than a month later Morrison talked about the same idea, as if it was his own. Morrison also talked a lot about how much he would love working with Moore and how they'd been in contact. According to Moore, he barely knew Morrison and had only met a couple of times professionally. Imo, I felt Grant Morrison at that time just as he was starting out was in awe of Alan Moore and became a bit of an obsessive fanboi, and this turned Moore off Morrison completely.

Alan Moore is a very intriguing character. I discovered him very recently on KZbin when he interviewed the comedian Stewart Lee, who is incidently both an atheist as well as a member of the Humanist society. Two things I have noticed about many good comedians, is that they are; 1. Invariably very intelligent 2. Usually atheists. Stewart Lee (who I think, is a brilliant comedian) is no exception. I am convinced that Mr. Moore is talking about a very real and authentic experience (I am a Christian and believe in both angels and demons). I also believe that the Holy Bible is the Word of God.

You misunderstood. Alan isn't talking about "his demons" as in the common phrase, he's talking about "actual" demons. He doesn't mean "his demons" like: "I'm an alcoholic". "I'm a rapist", "my dad used to beat me up".

Do you guys really think that Alan has NEVER watched one of the movies from his books? If I was him the curiousity would KILL ME i know I would end up watching it.. But he has a lotta good points about comics not really translating well to the big screen although I'll admit I enjoyed From Hell, V for Vendetta and The Watchmen.. I actually really liked the WAtchmen film at first but watching it now I see a lot problems and flaws with it. I still really like From Hell though although basically everything in the book is left out. But the From Hell movie has a great atmosphere in my opinion.

He probably has, but, honestly, as separate entities these movies are pretty cool. As adaptations, they celebrate those who aren't really to be celebrated and focus on premises and characters that weren't the most important or relevant perspectives that the comics were trying to get across. In V for Vendetta, race consciousness was kind of glossed over. Guy Fawkes was a symbol of catholic totalitarianism. From Hell focused too much on the detective and far less on Jack the Ripper. Watchmen was a warning against omniscient heros with the power to direct our lives without question or oversight. So I can understand his disdain as a creator.

Why into 2 parts? It covered the relevant points for it's run time excluding the squid scenes, which I think was wise to cut out as the general movie audience may have gotten lost with the movie. Studios tend to split films to if they fell they can make more money from it. E.g. Boring Hobbit, Hunger Crap Games and others.

+CosmicUndeadElf the whole look was off. He made the action look like matrix and made the costumes "cool" when that was decidedly NOT the original intention. The action should have looked like it did in SUPER, goofy most of the time and gory and horrible when it was too much, it was never supposed to be cool.
