Halloweenathon :The Famous Adventures of Mr Magoo Doctor Frankenstein

Today we shall look at a cartoon episode starring the lovable Mr Magoo...In a rather dark tale,so spoilers cause I gotta talk bout the ending

So the premise of the show as a whole is Magoo (Jim Backus ) is a famous actor who takes on many classic roles,in this particular 1965 episode he takes on the role Doctor FRankenstein ,the man who dared play God

Now this is gonna sound weird .....But this is one of the most interesting takes on the Frankenstein story I have seen.Now I wanna stress this,this is less classic shorts Magoo and more Christmas Carol Magoo ,as in NOT A COMEDY ,like there are a few jokes early on but I am actually shocked they allowed this episode to get as dark as it does

This is a VERY loose telling of the tale (Only characters from the book ar Frankenstein ,the Monster ,the Captain and Doctor Waldman so no Elizabeth,Justine,Clerval ,Blind man or William ) but I think it captures the core and elements from the book like Victor chasing the monster only to be picked up by a captain ,the monster being intelligent ,the monster wanting more of his kind ....and interestingly,sort of the Monster himself

Before I get to the monster lets talk about Doctor Frankenstein.Magoos Frankenstein is an obsessive unaware of the consequences of his actions.He does not abandon the monster but he does not nurture it and simply expects it to do what its told ,near the end he is a man seeking redemption to stop the monsters scheme,even if it will cost him his life.Also props to Jim Backus,magnificent actor

I am gonna be honest this is one of the best Frankenstein monsters in he is a mixture of the brutish pop culture monster and the monster of the book....Including the fact....He IS a villain ,just a sympathetic one .Appearence wise he is unique while still being a bit Karloffish ,but like the book he is very intelligent and turns to villainy after encountering the cruelity of man ,and like the book he wishes to make mnore like him.He is MORE evil then his book counterpart whos evil deeds tend to be out of vengence,while here he straight up wants to create a race of monsters toconquer humanity and takes pleasure in killing

Oh yeah remember when I said this was darker then I expected ? The big thing is....People die .The monster gleefully wrecks a train.....but umm the most unexpected dark moment....MR MAGOO FLIPPING DIES .Yeah at the end of the episode,FRankenstein sabotages the Monsters lab blowing the monster and himself up .On one hand its a mature and good way to end the story ....On the other hand its just so unexpected to see this beloved cartoon character DIE IN A FIREY EXPLOSION .I think the only reason they got away with it was "WEll Magoo is playing a character "

This is a great telling of Frankenstein and if you like the Mr Magoo Christmas Carol you might like this as well

Inspired by The Super Mario Bros Movie, we're talking about a humble class of heroes whose lives are devoted to infrastructure maintenance and repair. There are heating engineer rogues and space janitors and, of course, plumbers. Later in the episode we’ll head down to Antarctica, where our guest Ariel Waldman spent her summer vacation studying the environment and the tiny creatures who live there – including tardigrades, the world’s greatest microscopic animals!

Looking For Some Non-Fiction Kindles?

I was scrolling through my emails today and found something interesting to post on my blog today! Before I started reading non-fiction, I thought it would all read like a textbook. But then I realized that I didn’t have to confine myself to one book genre, like I didn’t have to listen to one specific genre of music.

That was the day my love for non-fiction books was born. Since then I’ve been…

excerpts from “Some Notes on the Origin of the (Term) Gurlesque”

The Gurlesque was born between about 1960 and 1982 (it was a long labor) (these are the years generally considered, by the way, the birth of Generation X) in Burma and Ohio and Korea and New York and Olympia, WA and other places. Her ancestor was Ophelia, running around singing spooky songs with her hair all drippy. Her grandmother was Alice in Wonderland and Eloise and Ramona the Pest. Her mom was a Second Wave feminist and a hippie and a lady who had never been to a consciousness-raising group but sometimes watched Maude and an immigrant and a farmwife and a former Girl Scout. Her mom was Anne Waldman and Anne Rice and Sylvia Plath and Barbara Guest and V.C. Andrews and Angela Carter. She had aunts, too, like Hannah Weiner and Kathy Acker and Katharine Dunn and Amy Gerstler and Annie Sprinkle. Her aunts were Angela Davis and Nan Goldin and Hello Kitty and the Guerilla Girls and Dolly Parton and Exene Cervenka and Cindy Sherman and Poly Styrene, the fifteen-year-old multiracial girl with braces on her teeth screaming “Some people say little girls should be seen and not heard, but I say: Oh, bondage, up yours!” as she fronted the band the X-Ray Spex in a 1977 punk club in London. She was a pink and black and yellow and red and brown and rainbow-colored silver baby, and she was a girl baby except when she was a boy baby, which was sometimes.

*

The Gurlesque was born of black organza witch costumes and the silver worn-out sequins mashed between scratchy pink tutu netting and velvet unicorn paintings and arena rock ballads and rainbow iron-on glitter decals and self-mutilation and anorexia and bulimia and fighting back and Renaissance Faires and teen sex and zines and cutting and Sassy and joy and ecstasy and abortion and the Pill and road kill and punk shows and panties and incest and ice cream and rape and we mean this very seriously. No means no, asshole. And yes means yes. And girl means girl except when it doesn’t, which is sometimes.

*

Sometimes I only want to talk about the Gurlesque as the riot grrl I was in 1992, when I was publishing my zine: I want to be wearing a blue velvet cocktail ‘60s dress and ripped fishnets and cut-off combat boots and a ball-chain necklace with a glow-in-the-dark plastic skeleton hanging from it and ponytails and a nose ring; I want to be marching for choice with ACT-UP, chanting “we’re here, we’re queer, we’re fabulous, get used to it”; I want to be making my own peanut butter and buying ninety-nine cent lipstick at the drugstore and working at a homeless shelter; I want to be trading for seven inch records and getting the last train back from the show.

Sometimes I only want to talk about the Gurlesque at a table covered with a velvet cloth where hovering just behind me are the White Witch Goddess, the godmother of the Gurlesque, Stevie Nicks, with her black tulle sleeve-points dripping down and her Victorian boots laced up, with her baby doll facial features and her cocaine nosebleeds.

Or I only want to talk about the Gurlesque accompanied by a performance by infamous underground comix girl Dame Darcy, whom I met in New York in the 90s, and Darcy would be dressed in thrift store moldy camisoles and petticoats, drunkenly playing her accordion over loops of morbid, old-timey looking handmade films about vampire wolf lovers and Pez-dispenser witch girlfriends.

*

Or, the Gurlesque would be best theorized about while riding on the back of a vintage convertible at the ratty, muggy Mermaid Parade that’s held at Coney Island every summer solstice, where girls and not-girls dressed in their mermaid finest and in various states of undress and full-body tattoos zoom around in the shadows of ill-repaired amusement park rides from the 1920s, watched by an array of New York City hipsters and gang bangers and families eating hot dogs and attending the performance-art freak-shows held nearby.

April study challenge day 12

Watch or listen to a TED talk.

This is the TED talk I listen to. It talked about the diatoms and plankton that lives under the ice of antarctica. Ariel Waldman (the talker) explored under the ice for some time. I found this one really interesting! I loved hearing about her research and the different creatures she found!
