Sandman

I was going to write something long and probably boring about baseball and pitching motions but I'm skipping it other than to note that Albert Pujols was happy to stand up with Glenn Beck but wouldn't return the call of the National Negro Baseball Museum. Karma will strike, it always does. (source: Sam Mellinger's Twitter, on Pujols, not karma)

Which leads me to happier news and weirdly connected-meaning karma and Sandman. Hollywood Reporter sez that there's prelim development of a series. Happiness at the thought, immense fear thinking about all the things that could go so very wrong. When I first read Killer Angels years and years ago, I imagined how good a mini-series could be. Then the movie came out. They tried. Martin Sheen as Robert E. Lee? Really? With Jason Robards alive?

Still, first priority has to be Clint Eastwood as Bruce Wayne in Batman Beyond. Elect me cultural czar and it'll happen.
