Irreversible! and Baise Moi (one you referred to earlier, LMNO) are both quite uninteresting in opinion. They're like the french versions of Ichi the Killer/Visitor Q/other weird shit from Takashi Miike. Baise Moi was filmed with crapquality DVcams and are nothing but fetish-films released for the mainstreams. See one fake snuff movie, see them all. Irreversible! was trying too hard to be interesting, like a retarded kid screaming look at me and the 12 min rape scenes/all the other filth wasn't the best vessel to get their points across imo.

Or Kill Me / Re: Codename V's Rant
September 19, 2007, 03:16:22 PM
COMIX!
Moore said no to any and all money/royalties offered him from the butchering of his scripts from written words to teaspoonmovies. In the case of V for Vendetta, he wanted the money dispersed between the artists and I recall reading an interview with him where he stated that the movie had "plot holes one could throw nukes through". As far as I know, he's doing okay in the way that he doesn't have to write for marvel/dc anymore and currently only selfpublishes or publishes through his wife's press or Avatar Press, rumored for giving him, warren ellis and grant morrison the freedom they want.
Moore writes a lot of crap too but his crap is still better than the run of the mill bestsellers from any genres. From Hell, Promethea, V for Vendetta, Swamp Thing and Watchmen are darned important works in the post-superhero world, like Millers DK&DK2 were. Where Miller is political though, Moore is highly spiritual and religious, worshipping a snakegod named glycon or something similar.
All of the movies based on Moores work are lacking in most senses, those transcribing have little to no clue as to the message in the comics or haven't been able to cram it inside 90 minutes. The League and V are the 'easiest' of the lot while From Hell is perhaps the most retarded adaptation ever produced. They didn't really need to use the book as a basis for that movie.
Phew.
