Moore, Godard, no connecting thread
Alan Moore is interviewed by Rich Johnston:
�Moore described it [the upcoming The League Of Extraordinary Gentlemen: Dark Dossier] to me as “not my best comic ever, not the best comic ever, but the best thing ever. Better than the Roman civilisation, penicillin…” The human brain? “Yes and the human nervous system. Better than creation. Better than the big bang. It’s quite good.”�
And Jean-Luc Godard by Sight and Sound:
�I remember when I was lecturing in the US I’d spot a girl who looked pretty and address myself to her, as I find talking directly to one person rather than to a group helps me speak. Then she’d formulate a long sentence: ‘Mr Godard, do you blah blah blah’ followed by ‘can you elaborate?’ And I’d just been elaborating for an hour. So anyway, I’d start to elaborate further only to look up to see she’s picked up her file and is leaving. I don’t know what your students are like, but I have my suspicions.�
(Hello again. Chris has invited me to chip in whenever I like.)
