While I'm active; I've recently let my favorite artists convince me to at last watch Re-Animator and it was amazing. Can't really talk about it irl I'm already forcing a friend to watch TOS, hopefully she's been enjoying it but hum, I took pity on her.

SO, a call for anyone wanting to talk to me about the movies I'm really interested !! And if you have any recommendations for other movies or even books I might enjoy I'm totally here for it

BTW my style is so inconsistent it's a joke atp :'), but I'm really glad of how this little one turned out ! I went in it not expecting much honestly, just doodling and I think it IS because for once I wasn't putting so many expectations on one drawing that it turned out so well. Gotta try creating for the joy of it... maybe

To talk a little bit more about the drawing itself... yeah, this is just how I imagine Herbert deciding to go talk about his theories to Dan when the insomnia hits at like, 2 am, and Dan, just, accepting it.

IDK, felt like such an intimate, familiar setting, I'm obsessed with how it turned out — AAAH

pondering what to make dan pick up for dinner

[2everworld]

the key to creating a good piece of media is a mixture of horrific, soul destroying trauma and the grossest most preverted fetish you can think of

dan, we can bring him back to life

Thinking about how clearly the movie establishes that it’s Meg/Herbert making decisions for Dan. He’s very easily influenced and can be extremely compliant; if he’s left to his own devices he’s impulsive/driven by his immediate wants/emotions more than any rational thought. Hell even at the beginning Dr. Harrod had to remind him there’s nothing else they can do for the patient bc he’s refusing to give up when he should.

Meg is the one that reminds him her father will destroy his scholarship if he finds out they’re sleeping together—once when he tries to get her to stay for round 2, and again when she stops Dan from hitting Herbert (literally the dumbest and most impulsive thing he could do in that situation). Meg is the one stopping Dan from doing something disastrous in his short-sidedness. He looks at her for her answer before he says they can’t stay for drinks/study at the house (also that’s just being a good partner but). He wants to kick Herbert out immediately but Meg again stops him until they get something on him.

Also. Hill said Meg is young and impressionable and that Herbert and Dan are dangerous to her. But really Dan is the one who is impressionable. Meg isn’t weak willed and she didn’t like Herbert from the get-go. But it is interesting how Dan defends Herbert even before knowing about the re-agent, before Herbert had a carrot to dangle in front of him. Dan is the weak link. There are so many times when he should have sided with Meg over Herbert but he gives Herbert the benefit of the doubt, like when Herbert says he tried to save Dr. Gruber.

Herbert and Meg are literally fighting for control/influence over Dan outside of Dean Halsey’s office; Meg is imploring Dan to listen to her, she and Herbert keep placing themselves between the other and Dan to get his attention. And Dan, when pushed and pulled between Meg and Herbert, both with wills stronger than his, sided with Herbert because of the chance to save lives—and we ofc remember him losing the patient in the beginning of the movie.

Herbert uses Dan’s altruism against him when he can’t get him to do what he wants. He pushes back against Herbert yet always submits to his will in the end. Dan has fallen into the ends justify the means mentality just as Herbert. Doesn’t matter what awful shit he has to put up with if Herbert keeps reminding him that they could defeat death, he’ll do it.

Poor Danny you never stood a chance.

Here Comes the Bride of Re-Animator article by Chas Balun

from Fangoria #91 | April 1990 (pg. 36 - 40)

bonus highlights because this article altered my brain chemistry:

Right out the gate we are off to the races. Chas really said, "this shit FUCKIN RULES and I will NOT be objective about it!!" Plus calling Herbert, "the bespectacled little guy???" This guy GETS IT!

I too am thankful Dan refuses to leave his "buddy." Is calling two guys "buddies" the gay equivalent of "gal pals?" More at 11.

Fellas....FELLAS??? Commenting on a shirtless Bruce's beefy physique and referring to Jeff as, "small, even delicate," HELLO??? Living for this guy being completely unapologetic in appreciating their physiques. Very understandable.

And lastly, you can't have a comment from Bruce without him being #1 Dan-hater. Calling him a wimp and then confirming that Dan is totally fucked up in the head. Get his ass, king!

You did very well today, Dan. Don't forget to clean yourself up, we don't want any cross contamination.

do you think herbert spikes dan's morning coffee with reagent so whenever dan tries to leave him he goes through reagent withdrawal
