I feel for you. Anne Hébert and Gabrielle Roy are not good authors... Anne Hébert being the better of the two.

I thought Death of a Salesman was okay. Nothing compared to The Crucible but tolerable.

Dare I ask .. have you read V FOR VENDETTA, or just seen the movie?
I've read the graphic novel, and own it. The movie probably actually did a better job expressing the points though.

Charlie and the Great Glass Elevator was the worst book in the history of children's lit.
My name is Trillian. So you know.
LouiexDanny: More epic than KylexBradley by half.
I also support Louie DeNonno x Henry Townshend. Hurrah for crack pairings!

Or indeed LEAGUE OF EXTRAORDINARY GENTLEMEN and FROM HELL. The latter of which was horribly simplified for the movie and is in fact a deeply complex text dealing with all kinds of issues.

Heh, Alan Moore.
Other than to bitch at the way his properties are being handled, the guy's an hermit.

Not really - he just doesn't bother with conventions :)
I don't think he rused to care much about Hollywood until a couple of years ago - he's not daft. And he's apparently cool to work with, provided you're not an arse

I'm divided on it. I dislike the portrayal of women in it immensely and detest the climax with a vengeance, but I do love his examination of Rorschach and generally of how power corrupts (which led to me looking out old issues of The Question among other things).
I'd be amazed if they make a decent movie out of it that doesn't just skim the surface though.

But there are a bazillion other comics that I would place way up the list ahead of Watchmen, for sure. Including Transmet and The Invisibles (although arguably The Matrix *was* The Invisibles, thinly disguised).
Generally I don't trust Hollywood with comics properties as they usually fuck them up royally and seem unable to treat them with any kind of respect. "They're just funnybooks". *Shrugs*. It's why I can't fault Moore for his attitude to the whole charade.

To be fair, some creators DO have the same attitude. Such as Troy Hickman.

I was replying to you when you asked why they're making movies out of Frankie Miller.

They're running out of movie ideas, so they just pick something.

I love how no one else wanted to question the fact that this string of short sentences does not make logical sense.
"I feel bad for this man and his life's history, therefore his book is garbage!"
Also, I have to admit that while it pains me to read what many of you consider "worst" books, I also love the fact that you all singularly reveal your mental and physical ages with your taste in "bad" and "good" books.
To a greater extent, I at least realize I don't have any major professional competition rising out of this forum.

Someone correct me that if it's wrong.
EDIT: Oh, and dude, by "Worst books" we obviously mean the books that we don't like. Silly goose! But, you're awesome anyway.

Not like I was planning to. I'm wise enough to know when I'm outmatched.

I'm not commenting on the 'worst books' thing as a bad thing--there are books even I don't enjoy reading--but I always love statements like 'Ulysses is the worst book because it is hard to read' or 'I don't like old writing styles because it confuses my 13 year old txt msg based brain with long sentences' as if those are valid criticisms of literature.

And you barely won. Barely. Boy, I bet that guy you beat sure feels like a colossal loser now.
Ulysses is the worst book ever because of its YES I SAID YES I WILL and old people sex ending.
