Mis-ter Moore

Perhaps the entertainment industry is apologizing to Alan Moore for letting Sean Connery ruin League of Extraordinary Gentlemen. Two more of Moore's books are being made into movies. V for Vendetta is to arrive November 5, and Watchmen has supposedly been greenlighted. iMDB is not listed a cast yet.

So a geek girl should be happy, right? Bah, you know better than that! The realist in me still believes Hollywood has run out of ideas. Alan Moore doesn't write warm and fuzzy stuff. League was more optimistic fare by comparison. And to give one writer three deals in as many years? It makes Hollywood look like a crack-addicted hooker. Though, the Wachoski brothers are directing Vendetta... so there *could* be some freakiness going on!

The best news still has to be... Hugo Weaving has signed on to play V! Schwing! Now if Gary Oldham signs on to play Rorschach for Watchmen, I may wet myself.

Which of course I'll merely blame on old age.
