I don't care if it is an orgy of death, there's still such a thing as a napkin.

A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

They are concerned that the sharks are keeping them from Jason Momoa.

Cumbercreature seen.

I am not sure what I think.

Except that was a very male production.

Woe to the fucking wicked.

I'm sitting in the theater (alone, sadly) to see it again. I love it dearly, but it is definitely sorely missing female input (other than Shelley herself, who sadly didn't get to go to production meetings).

Yeah, I think that's why it struck me, I was all "woohoo, Mary Shelley" and then the pre-play thingy shows me two male actors and a male writer and a male director and I was just...oh, right, this is normal. Somewhat deflating.

My theater was not completely empty, but pretty close. Made it weird to have the audience noise on the soundtrack, but otherwise kind of nice.

The artist formerly associated with cupcakes.

Except that was a very male production.

You are not wrong.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

I love it, but it is strikingly male, though far closer to the original than most interpretations.
