Mal ,'Serenity'
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.
Yeah, I was thinking about how Dracula is so very Other and how Victor Frankenstein very much is not. He's a young, wealthy, white man with gobs of education and opportunity. And the creature, well, he's maybe more Uncanny Valley than Other.
It's only a half-formed thought, but I feel like I'm almost on to something.
In the book, the creature is philosophical and thoughful, even with Abby Normal's brain. (Brain from a hung murderer, wasn't it?)
Hey, sorry for skipping ahead, but just sharing a review of something I watched last week.http://bohemiancrip.blogspot.com/2018/10/bohemian-crip-watches-movies-maudie-2017.html
We finally saw Venom, and I don't know what I expected, but that was DELIGHTFUL. And fairly gay.
I have the day off tomorrow, so I'm going to see a screening of Mauvais Sang, starring a 22-year-old Juliette Binoche.
Thank you for the most excellent entertainment, Mr. Goldman. RIP
On the brighter (I hope) side, they're making a movie of Rolling in the Deep by Mira Grant (aka Seanan McGuire).
All dead or mostly dead?
Sorry, it had to be said. I very much admired Mr Goldman.
Inconceivable!
