Isn't he? He was never going to get involved but I doubt it annoys him more than the lovely side-comics and sequels they did

I guess it was David Gibbons who was actually more specifically annoyed with the new show. But i may be confusing this with the comic book thingy with dr man as the baddie.

Since we are talking about Watchmen, I would like to let everyone know that noted stupid individual Alex Jones pronounces it "Ozymandamus"

If they want to cast Alex Jones as Ozymandius I’m all for it.

The trailer has a bunch of men in Rorschach masks angrily chanting the words "tick tock" while staring directly in the camera.

Oh I saw it. That is why I have no interest.

They haven’t said anything official but it seems to be some kind of sequel to the comic

The Guardian book podcast has an episode from three years ago where the comedian Stewart Lee interviewed Alan Moore on stage about "Jerusalem" and it's a fun listen. They're long time friends and have similar tastes so it's quite charming, funny and informative.

For instance, Lee read Moore's first novel years ago and asked why he front loaded it with this hard to read made up language and Moore replied "to stop cunts from reading it".

I first heard what Moore sounded like years ago when another comic writer (I think Ellis?) was talking about how Moore took all of his Watchmen money and gave it to some Welsh anarchists who supply him with haybale-sized bundles of weed.

There was a kid on the background peeing which probably made the situation worse, if I recall that particular broadcast.
