Just wanted to pop out momentarily from lurking as one of the Patreon crowd to say that this review was an absolute pleasure to read (as was your review of Ondine, which actually increased my appreciation for that movie, which I wasn't sure could be done) and that while these posts make me thrilled to be a backer, I would be just as happy to simply be supporting this journal in general. Your posts always lead to learning things I never knew, following one link and then another and another to ever more new and wondrous treasures of the internet and the world (Etruscan funerary relics, heretofore unknown-to-me incarnations of sirens, Lovelace and Babbage, Alan Turing, Rejected Princesses, the list goes on). I hope you start getting the sleep and the brain-rest you need and know that some of your backers are just glad you exist, entirely regardless of word counts and bonus art stuff. Your words always=art.

(I have never seen this movie and now I must, though I suspect it will harder to watch than your review was to read. That poem made me giggle).
