Just got back from seeing V for Vendetta, finally. I think this makes up for the latter two-thirds of the Matrix trilogy. And, since I rediscovered Peter's Friends the other night (and half the cast has gone on to do Harry Potter roles), it's unofficially Stephen Fry week. Should be a holiday.

As opposed to the artist saying it's about as close to being a perfect adaptation as a movie can be?
Alan Moore has an ego the size of Texas; some of his stories may be truly excellent, but I'd take anything he says when he's throwing one of his famous hissy-fits with a grain of salt.

I don't blame Moore for being appalled for what happened to LXG. And, you know, after that, I know that any compromise is probably going to be seen as too much to him -- I don't blame him for being gunshy and wanting nothing of the Hollywood "creative" process (Jon Peters on Superman Returns, anyone?). But Lloyd's actually right -- there aren't many compromises made here. There are a few cringeworthy modifications, but otherwise, it's spot on.
Alan Moore's ego, on anyone else, would just be infuriating. But, sadly, nobody's done more for the field of illustrated narrative in the last quarter-century than Alan Moore.
Pray for the soul of Watchmen.
