What was a comic run about the evils of totalitarianism from a British point of view turned into a "I hate Republicans" American movie. Now, I am far from a fan of Republicans, but I fully understand why Alan Moore distanced himself from the film and didn't want his name on it.

Yeah, I'm a comic book nerd. Sue me.
