Carnivàle babble.
I found this just SO interesting. Normally I'm not really big into behind-the-scenes stuff for any show, but this is an explanation of the title sequence for Carnivàle. If you've seen the sequence, the picture slides in and out of tarot cards - into artwork and archival footage from the 1930s. It's very cool. But there's a whole lot of meaning in all the shots they used...

No wonder it won an Emmy for Main Title Design.
Only two disks left to come from Netflix and the end. *sighs*
You know, I'm finding myself just not very interested in plain old movies these days. Well, sometimes I still am. But I think I've gotten used to this more involved style of storytelling that's been going on in TV for a while now. Some of these things are almost like really, really long mini-series or something. Like Slings and Arrows, or Carnivàle. I'm betting Rome is a bit like that as well. *movies up in Netflix queue* But I think I like it more when stories take 20 hours to tell instead of just 2.
