CINEMATOGRAPHY

I finally finished watching The Sandman and, while I did enjoy it for the most part, I gotta say that this narration style of randomly following different arcs throughout various episodes was kind of jarring. I get that it's because it's adapted from a comic series and that's the reason why, but it's kind of jarring when you're just jumping from arc to arc with no warning whatsoever. But all in all I think I'd watch a season 2.

I am most definitely watching season 2 if there is one for Lockwood & Co. though. I don't know, something about this just really gripped me and I binged season 1 within 2 days. It's teeny and kind of cheesy as a result, but it just works and I think part of it is because it actually feels authentic. Maybe it's because the actors are actually not that old when compared to those of other teenie boppers such as Riverdale or, ahem, Teen Wolf, maybe it's just the acting itself, but it just worked.

Speaking of ... I finally endured Teen Wolf: The Movie as well. And it was as horrible as you'd expect, a literal dumpster fire of a movie. Why this is even a thing is beyond me, I truly don't understand how the hell you can do "a movie for the fans" and then literally do nothing fans actually wanted. Anyway, after losing a good chunk of my teenage years to this garbage truck I now genuinely want Jeff Davis to lower my casket into the ground so he can let me down one final time at the end of my life.
