liv: alternating calligraphed and modern letters (letters)
I've been enjoying the new Netflix Sandman. It's very well cast, and it's done a good job of extracting a linear story from the extremely non-linear comic. The problem for me is that a lot of that linear narrative leans heavily on the Corinthian and I find the the Corinthian unwatchably terrifying! But of course horror is one of the things that Sandman is.

I'm not alone in absolutely loving episode 6, The sound of her wings; it has an absurdly high IMDB rating. But I really did love it, it's just a perfect piece of television. Also, I have thinky-thoughts about it.

Sandman meta, indirect Holocaust mention )

PS I'm only caught up to episode 8 so no spoilers for the last two episodes, please!

Soundbite

Miscellaneous. Eclectic. Random. Perhaps markedly literate, or at least suffering from the compulsion to read any text that presents itself, including cereal boxes.
