newnumber6More Prisoners of Gravity has shown up on Youtube. One may be particularlly interesting to some on my flist.
Prisoners of Gravity: The All-Watchmen Episode
Part One (Alan Moore on the themes they intended Watchmen to explore, Dave Gibbons on the origins of the characters and the name, Alan Moore on unexpected things they discovered happening in the works, Dave Gibbons on subliminal patterns going through life, repeated motifs)
Part Two (Dave Gibbons on the use of 'the smiley face' and the Comedian, Alan Moore on the Smiley Face, on the use of the 9 panel grid, Gibbons on how to keep the 9 panel grid interesting)
Part Three: (Alan Moore on when everything came together, on his favorite issue, Dave Gibbons on setting it in a 'real world' and Alternate History aspects, Alan Moore on the apocalyptic feeling about the 80s, the legacy of Watchmen (6 years later), and his own recommendations, also some of the host's 1991 thoughts on casting a movie)
War in SF, Horror, and Comics
Part One: Bruce Sterling on the Gulf War as a 'Cyberpunk war' and Islands in the Net, Martha Soukup on the Gulf War as a SF war, Dan Simmons of Hyperion about the Gulf War and how he sees war in his SF series, and his civil war horror novella "Iverson's Pits", and the legacy of the Civil war)
Part Two: Kristine Kathryn Rusch on why War is popular in fiction, Connie Willis on war in her stories Firewatch and Jack, Archie Goodwin on the evolution of 'realistic' War Comics)
Part Three: Dave Gibbons on the Rogue Trooper comic, Joyce Brabner, on "Real War Stories" comics, Peter Straub on the novel Koko and visiting the Vietnam War Memorial)
(And man, the talking about the Gulf War in 1991 sounds so eerily similar to now at times)
