Scream King - Peter Cushing

Now having watched Frankenstein (1931) I find this really interesting. I didn't really expect the writers themselves to have watched the film; I assumed they saw it was a horror film released in Pete's time and included it with the bonus that the audience would know the story because its Frankenstein. It really aligns with the themes of spider noir though, so I'm second guessing myself.

I read Frankenstein a while back so I'm not as familiar with it as I once was, but I'd say its generous to say the movie is based off of the original novel. It hits some of the points but it really is different. I mean, in the film its Henry Frankenstein, not even Victor.

In the film, the monster is played almost-infantile. He reaches out towards light as if he could grab it. He plays with a little girl by a lake, throwing in flowers to watch them float like boats. When he kills her, it's an accident. How could he have known that she wouldn't float along with the flowers? Its Frankenstein and his assistant who are portrayed as monstrous. They lock him in the dark for three days. The intimidate him with fire and whips and fists.

Despite this, its Frankenstein who gets the 'good end,' while the monster is left to burn alive, pinned inside a wooden mill set alight by the townspeople.

Pete could have gotten nightmares from a number of scenes. Although I wouldn't personally say this is a scary film, there are definitely unnerving parts. There was also a different standard in 1931 for what was scary in film, plus Pete was already living a hard life at such a young age when he saw it.

Based on the panels themselves it is clear that Pete was scared of the monster itself (which is fair, the make up and costuming wanted him to be frightening). "I expected him to tell me there's no such thing as monsters," because no one in real life is a resurrected, looming... once-man-now-creature. (Just you wait, Peter). It's a more juvenile read of the film but Pete is a kid. Ben though, is a veteran, a socialist, has been around the block. He has the sense to analyze the film and interpret it differently. It is the men who find themselves with a capacity for senseless cruelty that are the monsters. That is exactly what the noir comics are about.

I really like that it's clear that Uncle Ben knows what Peter is about to learn. It also shows how much Pete has changed, just within the 1-2 years since he'd seen Frankenstein.

an important thing the Silmarillion has taught me is that any mighty godlike dark lord can be easily ratio'd by a big enough animal

For the people following me for whatever reason, maybe you've noticed I keep screaming about penalty kicks, which is not why you followed me, so as a warning, there are four games today: two Euros where England better lose and two Copa América games where Colombia better win.

Block the tags! "Euros 2024" and "Copa América 2024"

You don't need to know what I'm going to be screaming about all day. You don't need to witness my descent into madness. You don't need to be an unwilling spectator to my ramblings. SAVE YOURSELF!

Also, there is only one more week of this, so after that, I'll return to my normal annoying self sans erratic sports commentary.

Just finished The Valley of Fear and it was great but I gotta confess that the McMurdo story was so long that I started to forget what was the main story

My own leaky canine just reminded me in his own way that there is now a dog traveling with Clone Force 99—a big one that I'm conservatively putting at about 200 kilos—who could at any point during a hyperspace journey perform her own stealth maneuver and make everyone on board want to jump into the nearest escape pod.

My first column with the online newspaper re: restorative justice was published! Which is very cool! I'm so chuffed about it!

...Except that the editor inconsistently capitalized a particular common noun throughout the article (!) and also removed my Oxford commas (!!!!!).
