Parent-creature conference: I loved Guillermo del Toro's personal, romantic take on FRANKENSTEIN.
Frankenstein (the 2025 Guillermo del Toro one) | VERN'S REVIEWS on the FILMS of CINEMA
I don’t say this lightly, but I think Guillermo del Toro’s FRANKENSTEIN might be up there pretty high among the top Frankensteins? Or at least it hits hard

My controversial Flesh take is that only a privileged white man would be allowed to write a novel where the main character is utterly devoid of agency and that's allowed to be the whole story. I tell you, if you tried that in YA - where protagonists genuinely have reduced agency - you'd get nowhere

Sometimes, I kind of feel like a Frankenstein myself. Just a handful of mismatched limbs held together by vibes and one questionable thunderstorm.

Elordi is understandably getting most of the attention but I want to take moment here to thank Oscar Isaac as well for being really fucking hot in the new Frankenstein. That was thoughtful.

The optician realised I was trying to game my eye test and asked why, so I told him I wanted to get new glasses but I couldn't justify it if the prescription was the same, and he added a tiny adjustment to my near vision stats so while there's no clinical change, there is now a teeny script change 😭

I want to eat the rich but I am afraid of prion disease, so I think we need to come up with some kind of transubstantiation thing, where I eat a Twix but actually it's a millionaire, but we do also sacrifice the millionaires and maybe turn them into biofuel? I'm hazy on that bit, I'm not a scientist

I watched Moonstruck at the PCC last night and I think it's the closest I've ever come to being at a sex club. People were FERAL, literally howling at Nic Cage when he first appeared. The man next to me, sat with his wife, muttered "bloody hell" when Ronnie tossed Loretta on the bed
