He's got good reason to be bitter towards Hollywood so I can't blame him (especially after what they did with LXG), but if you read up on the development history of the Watchmen film you'll scratch your head at who he gave his thumb's up to to write the screenplay years back especially considering how much different it was from the graphic novel.
Either way, it's his baby and it was one of the great turning points in comic book history so naturally you would expect him to be very protective about his work being handled by other people. It's a shame he declined to be credited, at least Dave Gibbons helped out a bit. He did a crap episode of The Simpsons though, what gives? hah.
Moore is definetly a bit out there. He has a very dark mind, a little disturbing. But his stories are phenominal. I have read a number of his works and liked them all. I don't believe there could ever be a better superhero story than Watchmen. There is so much in there, such brilliant content. i also think he desrves a lot of credit for helping save the comic industry as a whole. The '80s were not a bright spot for comics, but stories like Watchmen and the Dark Knight Returns showed how "funny books" can be a medium for thinking adults, with thought provoking content, and not just spandex slugfests for 11 year olds.
