Mit die schönsten Szenen von #PennyDreadful: wenn Vanessa Ives (Eva Green) und die Kreatur (Rory Kinnear) sich gegenseitig mit Lyrik trösten. Hier z.B. #JohnClare, der ›verrückte‹ Provinz-Poet, der auch in »Jerusalem« von #AlanMoore eine wichtige Nebenrolle spielt.

Went to one of my favourite second hand bookshops today, because sometimes you need some escapist fun.
Love that Johnny Alpha. He's my dude.

The first version of V for Vendetta was a comic serial published by DC between 1992-95. In his 2003 retrospective film The Mindscape of Alan Moore, Moore said he wrote it to issue a literary warning to the people of Britain about the dangers of mass surveillance. Instead, he said, successive governments practically used it as a reference guide for how to ramp up authoritarian practices, and especially passive spying on their citizens.

Finished - The Great When, Alan Moore
A big fan of Moore’s comic work, I was a little disappointed with this. It’s not terrible, Moore’s imagination is there in spades. But I’m not convinced his strengths are in long form writing. Or he needs a stronger editor. Too much exposition, and a baggy plot. But fun.

"Brought to Light" on the Internet Archive
From Wikipedia:
Brought to Light: Thirty Years of Drug Smuggling, Arms Deals, and Covert Action is an anthology of two political graphic novels, published originally by Eclipse Comics in 1988. Both are based on material from lawsuits filed by the Christic Instituteagainst the US Government. The two stories are Shadowplay: The Secret Team by Alan Moore and Bill Sienkiewicz, andFlashpoint: The LA Penca Bombing documented by Martha Honey and Tony Avirgan and adapted by Joyce Brabner and Tom Yeates. Brought to Light was edited overall by Joyce Brabner, Catherine Yronwode acted as executive editor, and Eclipse publisher Dean Mullaney was the publication designer.Shadowplay: The Secret Team written by Alan Moore and drawn by Bill Sienkiewicz with an introduction by Daniel Sheehan (general counsel of TCI). It covers the history of the Central Intelligence Agency and its controversial involvement in theVietnam War, the Iran-Contra affair, and its relationship with figures like Augusto Pinochet and Manuel Noriega. The narrator ofShadowplay is an aging anthropomorphic American Eagle, a bellicose retired CIA agent.
As Moore's first major work which was not superhero oriented, it was highly praised for its storytelling and Sienkiewicz's sometimes brutal art. Moore received praise especially for blending the sometimes overwhelming mass of details into a coherent and effective story. Over the years there have been rumors that Moore was unable to travel to America due to the CIA being annoyed at his story in Brought to Light. However this was supposedly proved to be a rumor and the "real" reason was due to Moore not renewing his passport.[1]
The story of "Shadowplay" is of an unseen character (presumably representing the oblivious American public in first-person view of the reader) in a bar, where he is approached by a man-sized, walking, talking eagle. The eagle, from the emblem of the CIA, proceeds to drink alcohol and, in a drunken stupor, divulge all the bloody details of The Agency's sordid past. Early on a reference is made to the number of gallons an Olympic swimming pool can hold, and the fact that an adult human body has one gallon of blood; from then on, the victims of CIA activities (directly or indirectly) are quantified in swimming pools filled with blood, each pool representing 20,000 dead. Sienkiewicz's dark, erratic, and blurry images keep the mood of Moore's narration (through the boozing eagle) unnerving, and hazily nightmarish.

Good News für Freundinnen und Freunde des Schaffens und Babbelns von #AlanMoore. Die achtteilige Gesprächs-Doku »Beim Barte des Propheten« (»Dans la tête d’Alan Moore«, 2017) von #Arte gibt es nun wieder mal im Netz (leider bei Arte nicht mehr im Arcghiv). Diesmal am Stück.

Ich glaub, ich bin ein bisschen verknallt in diesen Vorschlag von David Vinchar für den #Genre-Begriff #Necromodernismus für Romane von z.B. #MarkZDanielewski, #AlanMoore und #DavidFosterWallace.
»Literatur als Entropiemaschine, als eine Nekropole der Signifikanten … gebrochen, provisorisch, gespenstisch heimgesucht … Dies ist ein Schreiben, das im Leichnam des Romans west, ihn mit geisterartigen Signalen weiterhin am Leben erhält«, wie der Perlentaucher exzerpziert.

So, what do you think UK politics is really like?

Popped to a nearby town for the first time in years and managed to spend some gift cards we've collected from birthdays as a result of some relatives who insist on giving them. Always nice to come home with new books.
I like Adrian Tchaikovsky so that was an easy purchase. To Sleep In A Sea Of Stars sounded like my sort of book and it was deliciously thick. The Great When sounded fabulous too.

Hari Kunzru quoting Alan Moore
'It is so important to reenchant these places that we live in, to actually give back the energies that have been bled out of them. An empowered landscape creates empowered people, and the reverse is also true. A disempowered landscape, stripped of its history, stripped of its meaning, will produce people who are stripped of their history, of their meaning'

I’m finally getting around to reading Alan Moore and Alan Davis’s Crooked World story (and thank goodness for the preservation work that’s out there) and damn Betsy is hitting me hard here.

Um, #AlanMoore's #Illuminations (at least the first story) isn't helping to dispel the perception of how many of his female characters are victims of some sort of sexual predation. I'll give it a few more pages, but the first story, "Hypothetical Lizard," might warrant a hard pass. We'll see...

If you missed tonight's on-air broadcast of #LeftOfTheDial's special #Bowie show (with myself and #DJShaxx), you can listen to the archive! (Available for 5 weeks). You'll hear us talk about #Genderfluidity, #ToxicMasculinity, #MajorTom, #AlanMoore, #BigBrother, #HPLovecraft and other themes! Lots of cool live tracks as well!

Lol! So funny moment watching #AlanMoore's writing course. He recommended finding published writers that make you think, "I can write better than that!" or ones that really offend you. #HPLovecraft and #AlanMoore both came to mind. Like a lot of folks, I have problems with both of those writers, but I can still be inspired and / or offended by them. (And yeah Moore's treatment of female characters is very problematic, as is HPL's).

So, I was gifted with an #AlanMoore writing course. WOW! This seems tailored to someone like myself, and no, he doesn't have to explain the magickal terminology, but I'm digging hearing him speak! Good stuff! Will, in the magickal sense and in the writing sense, is so important in manifesting one's work!
