THE AREA IS CALLED ST GEORGE. THE SCHOOL HAS A ST GEORGE MURAL ON IT. WE HAVE MULTIPLE ROADS CALLED SOME VARIATION OF 'DRAGON'. THE LOCAL PUB IS THE GEORGE AND DRAGON.

i can only imagine the casting director for the sandman was watching interview with the vampire and flew off the couch as though electrocuted. 'who is this sad beautiful man!!! i must put a cape on him and make him anguished!!!'

like. Tom Sturridge will go down in history as the Platonian ideal of brooding pouting byronic gothic antihero perfection. HOW do you cast a Dream who comes even NEAR that level of pouty brooding woeful romantic poetic despair? LOUIS DU LAC

And it specifically had fun with gothic tropes! Haunted houses representing the tortured mind! Uncanny doubles everywhere! Accepting the darkness rather than fighting it! Everyone is a Frankenstein's monster lab experiment gone wrong!

Good set pieces, a cast with great comic timing, emo underdogs and misfits. It's formulaic as anything but if you expect art house going into a Marvel movie that's a you problem. I know what I'm going to get when I eat at Wetherspoons, man
