I hope they release a DVD of Frankenstein with both castings. That would be awesome.
That and the Tennant/Tate Taming of the Shrew. I live in hope.

Spike's Bitches 47: Someone Dangerous Could Get In
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
Yeah, my youngest great-grandparent was born in 1890. The rest were all in the 1860s and 1870s (of my known great-grandparents), so same with Lillian.
My youngest great-grandparents were born in 1892, and I was born in 1980. I knew three of my four grandparents, but none of my great-grandparents.

Well, it helps that one of my great-grandmothers lived to be 102. I think she was born in 1880 or so?

My great grandparents were long dead when I was born. I think that 3 of my four grandparents were born in the 1890s. My grandfathers died when I was 4 and 5, but I did know my grandmothers a bit, but they did not live close by and we were never than close.

Art Crawl!!!
One of my great-grandparents (my mother's maternal grandmother)was alive when I was a baby. She lived to be over 100. But I never met her what with the whole being disowned thing.

My maternal great grandmother lived to be 94, and died when I was 7. My grandfathers are both still alive, but all of TCG's grandparents have passed.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
just...disappointing maybe?
Interesting. In terms of the character or the writer?
less compassion for the Creature than previously
I don't think that monologue leading into the last scene would have worked so well. He even saw himself as a villain at that point, which had not been true before.
I thought the physicality of the creature made it so...something...in the book he comes off as practically erudite, and he still is, but you see his pain so much more clearly when it's coupled with the physical limitations.
Yes. There is such a mis-match between what's in his head and what he can actually accomplish.
Maybe it's just as well that I saw "reverse cast" - since I got to see Miller stretch more than I expected (I figured he could do Prideful Asistocratic-type with his figurative hands tied behind his back). I've always been fond of Miller, I'm glad to know he has the acting chops in addition to a near-perfect profile.
Heh. Fair enough.
I hope they release a DVD of Frankenstein with both castings. That would be awesome.
That and the Tennant/Tate Taming of the Shrew. I live in hope.
And the NPH Company.

Yes, all of the above because I haven't seen any of them.

Indeed. And Terriers, while we're wishing for these sorts of things.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
I heartily endorse the above.
