Alan Moore Gives Warner the Finger

V for Vendetta
Alan Moore, comics writer extraordinaire, is departing from DC Comics -- owned by Warner -- for good. The reason? Moore doesn't want to be associated with the movie based on his V for Vendetta comic, which the Wachowski brothers are writing and producing. However, in a press conference, producer Joel Silver announced that Moore was involved and was excited about the movie adaptation. So why is Moore pissed? He's been burned too many times by the movie industry and has just had enough. So, in retaliation for not getting Warner to publish a retraction of Silver's statement, he is pulling his future work from DC Comics.

For those who don't know, Moore is the writer behind some of the most well written comics, such as, Watchmen, From Hell, League Of Extraordinary Gentlemen and Constantine.

V for Vendetta should be in theatres in November 2005, and stars Natalie Portman and Hugo Weaving.

Civil disobedience is called for

In an act of desperation, Tim DeCristopher chose civil disobedience to disrupt the bidding process that saw 149,000 acres of public land leased off to oil companies in Utah. The lease of the land to oil companies, to allow drilling, has been contested by many who wish to preserve the pristine land, located near Arches National Park, the White River, the greater Desolation Canyon region, Labyrinth Canyon, the benches east of Canyonlands National Park, Nine Mile Canyon, the Book Cliffs and the Deep Creek Mountains. It is one of the final sell-off by the dying Bush administration. DeCristopher showed at the auction, registered as a bidder, and started bidding -- and winning -- with no intention of purchasing or paying for the auctions he won. Way to go dude! You're a hero!
