"There’s a widespread cultural barrenness across art and political culture. But there are some pockets of resistance on the extreme margins, like the techno-savvy protest movements, small press, the creator-owned comics, that seem to be getting some signs of hope for the future. All of the genuinely interesting work is being done on the margins, with independent companies, self-producing, and alternative distribution networks. There’s been a growing dissatisfaction and distrust with the conventional publishing industry, in that you tend to have a lot of formerly reputable imprints now owned by big conglomerates. As a result, there’s a growing number of professional writers now going to small presses, self-publishing, or trying other kinds of distribution strategies. The same is true of music and cinema. It seems that every movie is a remake of something that was better when it was first released in a foreign language, as a 1960s TV show, or even as a comic book. Now you’ve got theme park rides as the source material of movies. The only things left are breakfast cereal mascots. In our lifetime, we'll see Johnny Depp playing Captain Crunch."

As if I'm going to take the word of a man who looks like a hobo.
But basically everything Moore does is remaking something else
>mainstream culture is always boring and conformist
>anything cool and interesting comes from the underground
Duh?
>no sauce
Whatever, grandpa.

Thanks. But I wonder why OP didn't post the link in the first place?
>>81932565
so the fact that Pirates was a good movie is irrelevant, it's just against some esoteric morality to make a movie based on a theme-park ride?
>>81933214
Because if you post a quote from Moore hating on the mainstream culture is always real. Always.
I'd watch a Captain Crunch movie starring Johnny Depp.

Hey underaged girl, show me your tits!

1/4 isn't a great average

This.
It's been the case for decades now.

Yes, but the general audience never manages to know.

Be careful on talking bad of Alan Moore. He is a Grand Wizard and he can senses bad jibes directed toward him.
He is gonna hex you to death.
>>81934155
...by the way, how is Frank Miller doing?
>>81934155
Oh, what's he gonna do? Turn me into a toad?

>Oh, what's he gonna do? Turn me into a toad?
Case to point....
Toad will be a merciful fate befallen on to you.

Another case, DCEU. DC has been playing with Moore's patience for so long. But Zack Snyder's Watchmen is the last straw.
>>81933679
But you used a Alan "entry level pseudo intellectualoid" Moore pic.
You can't accuse anyone of being a pleb.
>>81934650
>Watchmen
>DCEU
wut
>>81934930
DCEU as a whole still within DC/WB machination.
Tell me again how DC movies as a whole fared after Watchmen?
>>81935014
>Tell me again how DC movies as a whole fared after Watchmen?
Anon, you just proved that >>81934155 is right.Of course, not everyone hates DC here, sorry.
This clip is very relevant.

What makes it weirder is that this is definitely just a coincidence, and not a reference to Moore.
>Jhnny Depp as Cap'n Crunch
>dies from mixing alcohol, pills, and cereal
>>81932565
Where is the inaccuracy tho
