It's Thursday.
I started my "Sweet Dreams: A Sandman's Story" promotions Monday.
I go away for half the day to spend time with an old friend, and I take a casual moment to look at Mania today to see if it's been updated since 6:30 this morning.
And what do I find? Neil Gaiman's "Sandman" is being adapted for television.
Hell, I just don't know anymore.
PS - I was asked why does this bother me so?
It's simple: I've always tried to do what no one else was doing and had some good fortune at finding things no one else was touching -- and the instant I'd send mine out, from right out of nowhere would come an announcement that someone else in the biz was fast tracking their project.
So I'd simply abandon mine. I've no interest in being a copycat.
It's just annoying and has been for the last six years.
The biggest problem with Hollywood has been "everything has to be like everything else," which is what throttled the Abrams reboot of "Star Trek."
I follow my own guiding star(s), not what everyone else does.
