Alan Moore wants his residuals donated to an awful source
Comic book writer Alan Moore — the creative force behind Watchmen, V for Vendetta, and other titles — has revealed that he no longer accepts royalty checks from DC Comics for movies and TV series based on his works. Instead, he has asked his checks be sent to Black Lives Matter.Moore's ignorance is stunning. He's practically made clear he's frozen in the 1970s and 1980s. BLM proved itself one of the most offensive movements in the USA, doing far more harm than good, causing more division than unity, and they're the only ones Moore wants to donate his royalties to? Most mysterious how these veteran liberals won't even donate to Israeli victims of Islamic terrorism, or even victims of 9-11. They always seem to stick tight with the most obvious, and worst choices. And really disturning in turn is if Time Warner's willing to deliver the checks to the far-left movements per Moore's request unreservedly.
Alan Moore made the revelation in an interview this week with The Telegraph.
The British newspaper asked Moore about reports of his taking the money he makes from Hollywood and dividing it among other creatives.
“I no longer wish it to even be shared with them. I don’t really feel, with the recent films, that they have stood by what I assumed were their original principles,” he said. “So I asked for DC Comics to send all of the money from any future TV series or films to Black Lives Matter.”
[...] As Breitbart News reported, 2022 tax documents show BLM appeared headed toward insolvency, with an $8.5 million deficit after blowing through two-thirds of the $90 million raised since the summer riots of 2020 that laid waste to numerous cities across the country.
Chuck Dixon posted the following query about all this:
And why are those the only kind of movements ignoramuses like Moore seem to pay any attention to, or research? With this, Moore's definitely made it necessary to separate between art and artist, and take a lot of his work with a grain of salt too. It's news like this that makes it hard to feel sorry any movie based on one of his comics was a failure.Why would anyone give to an organization that has been proven to be a scam?https://t.co/NSGJDHhERZ
