Frankenstein (2025, dir. Guillermo Del Toro)
I like to be fucking annoying when people do the “actually Frankenstein is the name of the scientist, not the monster” thing and go “actually Frankenstein is their mutual surname because they are father and son”

Wow, had no idea this existed. A 1948 radio show about A Streetcar Named Desire winning the Drama Critics Circle Award featuring scenes performed by the original Broadway cast including Jessica Tandy as Blanche. Tantalizing and invaluable glimpse at how she played it.

Feel like there's a straight line between this shot from BRIDE OF FRANKENSTEIN to Mike Mignola's art career.

It will never not be funny to me that an important writer like Joyce Carol Oates who writes captial S Serious Literature is also really good at posting. It's like if Stravinsky had lived long enough to be really good at Animal Crossing too.

Tomorrow night I will be sitting on a stage in Cork after a screening of John Boorman's nutty, wonderful, silly, amazing movie Zardoz, talking about it with some really interesting and lovely people.
If you're in the area, come along (and see Boorman & The Devil beforehand too, it is GREAT).

I will be at the Cork Film Festival next month talking about my love of John Boorman's extraordinary ZARDOZ with festival director Aurélie Godet & Excalibur star Cherie Lunghi as part of their Boorman celebration, can not wait!
