Thanks for the Serious Man drop-in there, Noel. ACCEPT THE MYSTAHY.

I loved him against Lascelles. When Lascelles is trying to order him out of the room as a "servant" and Childermass' face is all "you idiot, I'm trying to keep this old man from getting us all killed".

His mid-aughts stuff got largely ignored by outsiders to the genre. It was gorgeous, but I think it was really clear who it was for. Or at least, it would have been to somebody coming from metal.

I'm waiting for it a bit, seeing if I start welling up like I did after Casimir Pulaski Day.
