• El libro es casi siempre mejor que la película. No hay mejor ejemplo que DESDE EL INFIERNO, la mejor novela gráfica de Alan Moore hasta la fecha, brillantemente ilustrada por Eddie Campbell. Es difícil describir cuánto mejor es el libro. Es como: "Si la película fuera un episodio de Battlestar Galactica con una aparición de los Pitufos y todo el mundo hablara holandés, la novela gráfica sería Ciudadano Kane con escenas de sexo añadidas y música de tus diez grupos favoritos, y al final morirían todas las personas del mundo que alguna vez odiaste". Así de bueno es.

• Películas como "Ciudadano Kane" y "Primera plana" retrataron una época en la que los periodistas hacían cualquier cosa por conseguir una noticia. La agitada Fleet Street del Reino Unido sigue siendo una especie de retroceso a esa época, como lo demuestra el reciente escándalo de las escuchas telefónicas, que llevó a la desaparición de otro periódico centenario, el News of the World.

• Orson Welles was a force of nature, who just came in and wiped the slate clean. And Citizen Kane is the greatest risk-taking of all time in film. I don’t think anything had even seen anything quite like it. The photography was also unlike anything we’d seen. The odd coldness of the filmmaker towards the character reflects his own egomania and power, and yet a powerful empathy for all of them--it’s very interesting. It still holds up, and it’s still shocking. It takes storytelling and throws it up in the air.
