I hate all that too and I have moments of total hatred. But, it is kind of funny. I just sell them books and move on. I think comics are growing and people are learning about it the way people learned about music or film or whatever. The only way to fight the idiocy is to do great comics. It actually works. And to take their interest in comics as something like a sign that more people are interested. <br><br>I don't care about what they want from comics or why they are misusing them. People misuse all mediums to produce horrible shit. We just have to focus on the good ones and tell ourselves to do that. I'm not too worried that Dan Clowes is lost in Hollywood, just happy that Clowes is making a living after having produced the best comics in history. Moore is really funny. <br><br>When those guys pitch to me or want me to pitch to them, I am just so confusing and straightforward that they always walk away. If they want to talk to me as a person about their lives and what they read then I really love talking to them.<br><br>But, yeah. Fuck the entertainment industry. I make comic books.dylan sparkplughttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04315225446154493201noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17469865.post-4479131060355285292008-09-20T16:18:30.600-07:002008-09-20T16:18:30.600-07:00I read through that whole Moore thing.

He is partially responsible for the stuff he talks about. Him and Frank Miller. He writes comics scripts as if they were films. In both form and function. But, I agree with him.dylan sparkplughttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04315225446154493201noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17469865.post-36333593193773044172008-09-22T07:18:33.113-07:002008-09-22T07:18:33.113-07:00Tom, Dash told me (in an interview) that BBB is i...Tom, <br><br> Dash told me (in an interview) that BBB is indeed in "talks" for a possible film, but Dash told his agent only if it's animated. He can't see it being made otherwise. "BodyWorld" is also out there, and Dash said he thinks it would be funny to see it as a live-action film. He also said that if these happen, it will have nothing to do with him, and that he only wants to do comics.<br><br>--Rob CloughAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17469865.post-76828503785344096902008-09-22T15:33:22.416-07:002008-09-22T15:33:22.416-07:00rob- thanks, that's awesome to hear. i had ho...rob- thanks, that's awesome to hear. i had hoped that Dash would be smart about any movie deals. an animated version of Bottomless Bellybutton could be awesome!<br><br>and Bodyworlds would be awesome of David Cronenberg directed it.<br><br>Dylan- yeah, I'm on the fence about Moore, too. I love his comics, but they are hardly of the lofty "literary" level that people claim them to be.tom Neelyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07180910435475086509noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17469865.post-81955570571204101602008-09-23T15:36:50.960-07:002008-09-23T15:36:50.960-07:00kinda related... http://www.variety.com/article/VR...kinda related... <br><br>http://www.variety.com/article/VR1117992634.html?categoryid=13&cs=1tom Neelyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07180910435475086509noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17469865.post-62656409528483312362008-09-29T12:14:44.326-07:002008-09-29T12:14:44.326-07:00DYLZ, next convention, please direct any Hollywood...DYLZ, next convention, please direct any Hollywood sleazebags with pockets bursting with greasy cash away from Tom and over to me.Alixopuloshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13173547051280801898noreply@blogger.com
