Notice when he is giving his subversive speech, a little after 4:51, he clenches his fist unconsciously . I think that speaks volumes of the man's passion.
He's so right how he handles his children (I've two myself) but it is key to strike a balance. You simple can't be 100% negative or warning all the time; it will twist them as much as filling them with false security. Balance.
"If in this current time, tolerance and sensitivity of any kind are labeled loony, left or subversive then I would be quite proud to be considered a subversive."
@muzapstar web pertains to more things than the internet, and the internet isn't the only place to find information, although it is personally my favorite place to find info.
I understand what he's saying completely, and I admit he's genius, but I just think his eccentricities can be called just that. He's not serial killer crazy, just kind screw loose whacky. Like a Dr. Seuss character. And I think he'd admit to such, as he sort of does while interviewing himself and talking about evil ducks.
Everyone who speaks his/her mind off is mad to standard society. I believe we should be able to show ourselves as intense as we feel. I assume you don't have the guts to show yourself as you are at this moment of your life. Almost all of us carry a mask in public. I think he Moore is a very brave person for showing himself as true as possible. Of course he has a big ego but he's a walking comic's god so...
I don't know the ego. I know in a previous video he talks of seeing himself as a Messiah (as we all do) but self-certainty and awareness of ones importance shouldn't be mistaken with ego. Isn't funny when someone acknowlegdes their talented yet it appears as a lack of humblness to others and they think "what a fucking egotistical bastard". You're right about everyone should speak their mind.
how many children does Moore have? I thought he only had two adult children who where born in the 1970's. If this was filmed in the 90s... are these different kids or am I mistaken?
YAY!!!! Story time with Alan Moore!!!! Those kids don't realize how much of an amazing childhood they have.
Alan Moore: satirist, rebel, thinker, innovator, artist, and all-round effing genius.

Thank you so much for uploading these!!! I could listen to his voice all day long.
Wow, that little child is Leah. I have read her comics. She did an excellent comic adaptation of Dracula... bought all five issues. Brilliant.
I find it disturbing how much I agree with this guy.
Seriously think I love him. Awesome. This stuff is gold. Thanks for posting!!
Alan's daughter Leah Moore is herself now a comics writer.
Alan Moore is better than stan lee any day...
happy teen years comment
@@OberonFeet I still hold that sentiment. I'm almost 30 now.
I'd have to say that Alan Moore is a genius.

"Seems to me that anything these days that is slightly to the left of Genghis Khan is labeled 'subservice'"
All too true
Nick Frost should play him if there's a biopic, which I hope there never is.
I wouldn't say mad, but rather odd. He's certainly aware of his eccentricities.
Anyone else think those shades make him look a bit like Jim Martin from Faith No More?
Thanks for posting this ;)
Shocking Futures By Alan Moore
Me, too. I feel your pain.
The Kiss by The Cure on the album Kiss me, Kiss me, Kiss me (1987)
Come on guys. He's mad. He doesnt deny it either. I imagine most geniuses were.
Considering that preferences are subjective and cannot be quantified, it's a meaningless question.
"...anything to the LEFT of Genghis Khan..." i loled so hard haha
i wish there were more videos of him such as this , i know that JIMMY's end is coming out! but i can twait!!!!
That famous Salvador Dali quote comes to mind:
"The only difference between myself and a madman is that I am not mad."
No way Cure track! Great lil documentary
Alan Moore.
@Jameszhangdude I would guess he wasn't too different from his most intelligent and inspired fans.
Shut up Alan Moore!.. Stop questioning Alan Moore!
I know right
I know Leah Moore went on to be a comic writer, too.
"If in this current time, tolerance and sensitivity of any kind are labeled loony, left or subversive then I would be quite proud to be considered a subversive."
the cure yeah!
does anyone know what song is it at 5.13?

@Squibfire dynasties is the word.
I can type. Honestly, I can.
They don't? Leah went on to become a comic writer :)
Is that a Superman "S" on his tie?
