“Backwads”?
thats a good term for what is going on.
Hey! Backwad! Get Off My Lawn!
Alan Moore is one of the two people most responsible for turning comics into adult graphic novels with his Watchmen story. I would agree with him, however about the decline of culture.
That was the title of an album by The Tubes (1980s)
Agree in principle but I’d pick a better example than Harry Potter which at least had some imagination and originality. Nor is it really valid to compare a satirical opera and British film aimed at adults with a series of juvenile fantasy novels.
Alan Moore is a very fine writer. I like his work.
But he is a hard left “anarchist”. I don’t think he realizes that the debauchery of western culture (which he accurately describes here) has been intentionally caused by Marxists in the entertainment business, the education business, and in government/social services. Marx laid the groundwork — destroy the church, destroy the family. Gramsci went further in the 1920s: he wanted the long march through the institutions.
Now we have angry, bitter women who blame “the patriarchy” for everything.
And we have “grown men” who are little more than ignorant boys.
And we have an intrusive government that mucks up everything so that the people “need” government more and more.
Alan Moore’s solution in the past has been to push society further and further to the Left.
And here he is, bitching about the results.
The problem is that films for “adults” that do not contain what I will call “objectionable material” (graphic sex, homosexual sex, every other word the f-bomb, nudity and lots of gore) tend to be either preachy, dull or both.
The “kids” movies are better written and more interesting then the adult movies.
My husband likes movies, I can take them or leave them. But here are the options.
Assassin’s Creed (It’s based on a video game. Need I say more?)
Collateral Beauty (dull)
Fences (If I have to watch one more “noble minority vs. evil white” I will hurl)
Jackie (Propaganda)
Manchester by the Sea (An attempt to see how many profanities and blasphemies they could fit into one movie)
Moana (Children’s)
Office Christmas Party (Just No)
Passengers (Why? Are there no decent script writers left)
Rogue One: A Star Wars Story (It’s got guns, spaceships and explosions. I can live with it)
Sing (Children’s From the previews it’s a no)
Why Him? (Just No)
So, out of the list there are two that are bearable and both (Rogue One and Moana) are considered children’s movies.
At least the season of the bloodbath movie is over for a bit.
Moore is evil with a capital “E”. Think Michael Moore, but uses comic books instead of film. They both spew ugly leftist agendas that are celebrated by radical “intellectuals”. Totally evil.
Thought that the “Completion Backward Principle” was off of a old Tubes album (1970’s Brit band). It was on their greatest hits cd.
Devo,(1970’s band out of Ohio)was derived from “De-evolution” about being at Kent State during some shooting.
Great album by The Tubes.
