His name shouldn't have been on the film in the first place... that it was p*ssed him off royally.

I think he might taken his name off of the movie. GRRR. 171212@blogcritics.org Thu, 23 Jun 2005 15:11:06 EDT http://blogcritics.org/archives/2005/06/23/143402.php#comment-171211 Nice piece. V is a fantastic book and IMHO Moore's best work, particularly since it doesn't require the insider knowledge of comic book archetypes required to fully appreciate Watchmen. You're right to make parallels with 1984 - I read them roughly around the same time and totally agree. As for the film, I suspect they'll ruin it. They've already changed the plot. 171211@blogcritics.org Thu, 23 Jun 2005 15:08:32 EDT
