I looked it up and it seems really fun... I will have to check it out. Though I am on a vacation from the highbrow this summer due to having too much other difficult stuff to think about... J and I started watching True Blood, which I like a lot. To my surprise, J (who shares your disdain for all things vampire) likes it a lot too so far. He says he likes it because it's "greasy" to quote the phrase from Trailer Park Boys and all its connotations. It helps that the first vampire to appear in the pilot is a redneck trucker vampire with a six-pack of artificial blood under his arm.
Wow. I . . . will probably still avoid that one. ;D
Slings and Arrows is a little high brow, but there's enough cursing and yelling and bizarre humor to keep it fun at the same time despite the Shakespeare and all that. There's sword duels! And the Stage Manager goes on a drunken rant about how all the actors are just whiny children who refuse to grow up! And the sort of method acting that involves chameleons released on stage, directors who talk to dead people, locking people in closets, and randomly rearranging the set without telling the actors, to name a few. . . .
I watched it while moving. It can't be THAT high brow. ;D On the other hand, I don't have it on DVD yet, so that'd be something I'd have to work on, first.
I don't right off the bat (I don't use Word, and bandwidth issues eventually forced me to break this into parts on my online word processor as well), but if you give me some time, I can probably get an .html file put together for ya.
I did try to be fairly visual in my writing this time around, with the knowledge that I'd be working with an artist. charlies_dragon did a great job either way.
But I know what you mean. In a perfect world, this would be illustrated page by page ala a children's book. . . .
