ok i watched a "v for vendetta: the makin of" yesterday -- well half watched, while we waited for the pizzxa to come and the movie to start -- and OMIGOD it is annoying the way they "make comics excitiung like movies" by

i. photographing them rostrum-style (ok they have little option as regarsds step i) and
ii. then ZOOM IN at speed, then PAN DIAGONALLY at speed, then ZOOM OUT at speed on a different diagonal! Repeat x repeat x repeat! Why it's just like er er

i think they think this is TRUTH TO MATERIALS but it's not, it's just stupid

(you sometimes see it with scary paintings also: instead of letting you gaze reflectively, the SHOCK EFFECT must be UNDERLINED by JABBY CAMERAWORK --- it remains a painting, however, and does not some "become" a well-made boo movie)

That scene of the old deepthroat figure: he was playing Alan Moore, surely?

Yes, that zap!pop!blam! camerawork is intensely annoying.

Was that the Pub scene? Cuz I think I saw an AM-lookalike in the pub scene.

By a fountain or something, the guy who is offering the police some crucial information. I was imagining they asked Alan to play that part when I saw it.

Please see one Teh Hulk: Teh Movie for other irritating examples of this technique.

Was anybody else confused by the final season of Scooby Doo, back in like 1985, when one of the regular cast-members was some wizard guy who looked exactly like Dr. Strange? Vincent Price did the voice, so the character was probably supposed to look like him, but the clothes he wore were almost identical to Strange's. It was like Scooby, Shaggy, Daphne, Scrappy, and some little Mexican boy getting in trouble, and once an episode Dr. Strange / Vincent Price would have to save 'em. I'm positive the guy wasn't supposed to BE Strange, but the similarity was so close that I don't see how Hanna Barbara was able to get away with it.
