ah cool, here's the insomnia. And the lead sunglasses!
"Healer, I've brought you someone."
And James can no longer recognize his crony. That seems good.
The movie undercuts itself by *fading* in James's vision every time.
Should just be a straight cut more often, to more strongly imply that he has lost his normal vision.

"A city unborn. Flesh dissolved in an acid of light. A city of the dead."
Incredible dialogue, man.

"He can't lose"
Okay but YES HE CAN.
This is a filmmaking mistake IMO, they should show him losing a few hands, but still coming out ahead overall.
With perfect knowledge of the deck, in a one-on-one scenario with the dealer, there will be unwinnable hands. It's not that kind of game.
Not a big deal.
Anyway, making it rain!

If you can believe it, the crash in the movie is MORE believeable than the crash in the comic.
He is ejected from a CONVERTIBLE at the same speed in the comic, and walks off.
Goofy. The man should be chunky road paste in that scenario.

OH, the rings in his vision are *his eye*. I thought it was strictly a visual device and I guess it is, but it's actually diegetic.
That's uh... really interesting.
I'm going to interpret this as the eye drops catalyzing some kind of conversion of the entire vitreous volume to a sensing organ so as to get around the focus problems this would imply if only the retina is sensing.

Oh, wow, the movie does NOT stick the landing with the eldritch horror ending!
For comparison, here are the final pages of the comic, which are *way* more effective than the cheap thrill of the movie's "pluck it out!"

Resolving this by scanning what I missed quickly. 4:40ish seems like a record for time-to-boob?

Okay, I'm caught up. That was either an extremely long cold open, or an extremely short movie.

Oh okay it's *that* sort of circus. I was wondering how the dots were to be connected.
