geek alert

good interview with Alan Moore, mostly about the genesis of Watchmen.

In a previous life I was excited about the idea of a movie helmed by Terry Gilliam, back before Hollywood drained the life out of him.

I'm less enthralled by Watchmen- a Zack Snyder film.

Snyder tells the superficial story well, but the specialness of Watchmen is it's multiple layers.

A fellow who remakes Dawn of the Dead while remaining ignorant of its roots as a parable of consumerism amok shouldn't be allowed within arm's length of Watchmen.
