Moore on Watchmen

"You get people saying, 'Oh, yes, Watchmen is very cinematic,' when actually it's not. It's almost the exact opposite of cinematic.[...] Frankly, I didn't think it was filmable. I didn't design it to show off the similarities between cinema and comics, which are there, but in my opinion are fairly unremarkable. It was designed to show off the things that comics could do that cinema and literature couldn't."

- Alan Moore, writer (Watchmen, Batman: The Killing Joke, V for Vendetta, Lost Girls)
