Sandman is one of the very few comics I ever got into, so I have residual fannish tendencies regarding casting of any film version. I can’t see JG-L as Dream, either, though I think he’s a good actor. Whoever it is needs to be tall and thin and saturnine. But I’d love to see Tilda Swinton as Desire – she has that sexy yet androgynous quality.

It was a joy to be a guest podcaster! Also, thanks for posting the link to Dr. Teeth. He’s timeless really. Wait… timeless… Could he be Dream’s long lost crazy uncle?

This is the only thing getting me through knitting, another marvellius podcast. Interesting to hear Preludes and Nocturns (the one Sandman volume I have read) isn’t the set tone for the rest of the series. I need to read more, but I find comics difficult to read (I get distracted) so it’s when to fit it in.

It’s also interesting what you were discussing about how comics are created, artists etc…, I actually have a friend who is writing a FANTASTIC comic and he’s writing and drawing it all himself.

In reply to Nish. We all enjoyed it -- Whiskey Jenny and Julia more than me, but all of us quite a bit.

I am glad you all are going to read The Luminaries. It’s such a big fat book, so I”ll wait to hear your thoughts before I even think about stepping into it.
