[ It is, in Aziraphale's humble opinion, in incredibly poor taste for someone to have made a film about all that. To say nothing for literally everything else jumping off the screens in there.
Nature of art, though, he supposes. Humans do that. Epic poems, an old half-forgotten dirge he'd scribbled down once upon an age ago, Shakespeare's tragedies, all those great big stained glass renderings of martyrs bloody on the pyre. Hand something terrible to ten artists and they'll find ten ways to rotate it over to another facet.
It's very admirable. He doesn't hoard things away in his bookshop for no reason and all.
Consider though: he doesn't want to be objective about it right now and he's not terribly fond of modern cinema anyway.
This poor polite young man. ]
Quite.
[ Well.
Aziraphale makes it a point to settle here, then. ]
Would you be against a bit of healing? From an external source, I mean. [ He gestures at himself with his good hand. ] I'm afraid it's not the stuff of miracles at the moment, but it might... help.
[ Might make things slightly less painful. This... process. Ideally. Oh, he hopes so.
Normally Aziraphale would just do the healing sans asking, but he doesn't think he knows enough about "nano probes" to risk it when he can't simply miracle things like that out of a bloodstream. ]
