I’m watching Frankenstein, and so far my prevailing thought is that the props master put their whole pussy into this project. I feel like I’m watching a walkthrough of Spectacular Bodies at the Hayward Gallery circa 2000

FRANKENSTEIN is devastatingly beautiful to look at and I'll probably never see a film that drips such honey, is it heresy to say I prefer Branaghs? I find the pacing of KB's much easier to deal with, there's a more fascinating approach to 19th century ethics and an overall better interpretation.

The original Angie Watts (as played by Jean Fennell) was sacked after a week's filming because she was deemed 'too classy' by producers.
