Bride of Frankenstein pt.2

‼️‼️SPOILERS FOR LISA FRANKENSTEIN AND POOR THINGS‼️‼️

It is so hilarious that Lisa Frankenstein and poor things came out at the same time bc on one hand we have

- movie thats really focused on advertising itself as feminist

- uses the moms body as basically an incubator and completely robs her of her singular act of agency right after roe v wade got overturned

- proceeds to sexualize said mothers body while also sexualizing her child’s immaturity plus gratuitous sex scenes showing how she’s “exploited”

- absolutely refuses to show the “female version of Frankenstein” with any scars or body hair she would absolutely be imperfect and wounded like it’s giving let me go shave my hairless legs

- written and directed by a man

- kinda weird and neurodivergent/mentally ill coded and is mean to the characters about it

And that’s the one winnning all the laurels while the movie with

- a female writer and director

- 1 sex scene which is very consensual and shows literally nothing

- multiple female characters all of which display agency and have wildly different personalities

- the characters are allowed to have trauma and be fucked up but also the first person killed is a lady calling the main character insane (bad) and threatening to lock her up because she doesn’t like her

- accurately shows SA without being gratuitous

- male lead doesn’t have any lines except reading poetry to the girl at the end, other than that there’s like three guys who talk

- real pretty visuals

- hilarious

- the male lead lacks a voice and very specific anatomy but it’s still emphasized how he’s still very much a man

- kills the guys who commits SA

- her sister stealing her crush doesn’t ruin their relationship, she’s still emphatic to her

- SO MUCH set design detail and it looks SO PRETTY

-camp

And THATS the one flying under the radar?!? My guy Lisa Frankenstein is what poor things wishes it was

They say time heals all wounds. But that's a lie, time is the wound. Takes you further and further away from that place when you were happy. Makes those good smells go away.

Really hope this goth phase ends soon.

A Moser New Year’s Eve

We close out 2022 with these somber wood-engraved landscapes separated by images of icebergs by noted wood engraver, book designer, and fine-press publisher Barry Moser from his 1983 Pennyroyal Press edition of Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein, or, The Modern Prometheus, printed by master printer Harold McGrath in a limited edition of 350 copies. The original edition, of course, was published in London in 1818, and Moser’s production was based on a copy of that edition from Special Collections at the Smith College Library.

With its somber winter imagery and our own penchant for wood engravings (18% of our posts for 2022 have wood engravings), we thought this was an appropriate way to ring out the old and ring in the new, as our graduate intern Olivia is currently working on a major exhibition of Barry Moser’s work to open in February 2023. Our copy of the Pennyroyal Frankenstein is another gift from our friend Jerry Buff.

We wish you all a safe and festive passage into the New Year!

Lord Farquaad (Shrek): "the chin maketh not the chad"

Victor Frankenstein (Frankenstein): “Spends the entire book cowering from his own creation until he is literally one of four characters left alive (including the monster). Then dies without accomplishing his only goal in life.”

FRANKEN ISABELLE!
