this "negative" review of guillermo del toro's upcoming frankenstein movie is everything to me

"The Mexican director has chosen to emphasise the romanticism at the expense of the horror. Elordi plays the creature as a misunderstood, James Dean-like outsider with Oedipal issues rather than as an agent of evil and chaos. Even if his face and torso are latticed with suitably grotesque scars, staples and stitches, he is not only the most sympathetic character in the movie but the best-looking one too. It’s left to Oscar Isaac to provide the real villainy as the brilliant but egomaniacal scientist, Victor Frankenstein..."

HELLO YES IT'S ME, MARY SHELLEY CALLING, JUST WANTED TO ASK IF YOU'VE EVER SEEN A GUILLERMO DEL TORO MOVIE OR... I DON'T KNOW... READ MY BOOK?

"The film lurches between scenes of lush romantic melodrama and moments of Grand Guignol bloodletting."

*bangs fists on table* SIGN! ME! THE! FUCK! UP!

Shit is bad, but today, I learned that California's kelp forests have made a major comeback with the help of scientists, fishermen, and hammer wielding volunteers.

It's a win for habitat restoration. It's a win for marine life. It's a win for all of the people who helped make it happen.

It's a fucking win and it makes me happier than words can describe.

Edit: now with video and link.

Also when the book started describing how no one would have let Ahab sail again if they knew how truly off his rocker he'd been since the whole leg thing and was doing it to go after one (1) specific whale. I just fucking flashbacked to all the other presumably normal people investing in this voyage. Like imagine Peleg and Bildad just chilling like "i wonder if they killed their first whale yet :) i sure do hope they kill lots of whales so we can get that good good sparmecetti money :) i'm so glad the ship is in the hands of such an experienced and skillful captain :)" and then just smash cut to the scene where Ahab's making everyone do shots on the deck at 10am

To the bold ff.net user in 2013 who tried to write Moby-Dick from the whale’s perspective, please get back here you were cooking

i like that 13 reasons why's cultural impact is how poorly it handled suicide and sexual assault as well as inventing a new way for people to say they're going to kill themselves
