Function Order: Fe-Si-Ne-Ti Paul is a cheerful, outgoing, and likable man, easily able to make friends and appeal to people on an emotional level. He starts out as Victor’s tutor and immediately becomes his friend, working alongside him in great excitement for the things “we” are going to do.

absolutely Obsessed with victor’s insistence in the curse of frankenstein (1957) on justine calling him ‘baron ;)’ it's so funny bc there are so many layers to it actually:

1. he wants her to understand that they are separated by social status/class and specifically that he is Above her (he has a title and she doesn't)

2. he doesn't want her to use his first name bc that means they are close and they aren't close to him. he doesn't want to be on a familiar, first name basis with her bc he Doesn't like her That Much.

basically the title is a reminder of how victor views his actual closeness to justine and an exertion of his power (he is her employer after all) over her. basic level interpretations. ok.

3. earlier in the film paul krempe assumes the letter victor sent was from his late father bc victor is a child-baron and that's a little odd. victor gets real snippy with paul like 'i Am the Baron >:^(' bc of it. he likes being the Baron and making justine call him that adds to his sense of legitimacy in the title he feels he owns/deserves/embodies etc.

maybe he doesn't feel he's man enough for the title? whether you read him as being more transmasculine or tranfeminine, both interpretations work. he wants reassurance of his masculinity, perhaps, in the title, in either an acceptance of his gender or denial of it. kinda trans of him ok tbh

4. general unrelated superiority complex reasons.

5. kinky shit

TEX AVERY SCREWBALL CLASSICS - VOLUME 2 New 2020 1080p HD Masters from 4k Scans of Preservation Elements Run Time: 149:00 Subtitles: English SDH Audio Specs: DTS HD-Master Audio 2.0 - English Aspect Ratio:  4x3, 1.37:1 Full Frame Product Color: COLOR Disc Configuration: BD 50 Special Feature: Documentary "Tex Avery: King of Cartoons"

Welcome back for another three-ring circus of animated comedy from the legendary leader of cartoon fun – director Tex Avery. In the first ring, Avery serves up some of his finest one-shot creations: cartoons featuring cats who hate people, wacky cuckoo clocks, kooky cavemen and lovelorn French fleas. We also meet up again with Avery's attractive Red Riding Hood, a pair of amorous wolves and his durable all-around fall guy, Spike. The second ring is a showcase for Avery's ironically deadpan "Happy Hound": Droopy. This time, Droopy appears in a number of guises – each one funnier than the last. As bandleader "John Pettybone," he leads his jazz-playing fleas to the heights of canine stardom. Out West, as a homesteader and a sheepherder, he has his final showdowns with the Wolf. The third ring offers a whimsical glimpse into the future – or at least a future from the POV of the mid-20th century – with a plethora of zany postwar inventions. While none of the cartoons "of tomorrow" foresaw smartphones or Blu-ray players, these far-fetched contraptions, gadgets, houses and farms, televisions, and various modes of transportation could only come from the madcap mind of Avery and his MGM crew. Uncut, restored and remastered in High Definition for the first time, Tex Avery Screwball Classics Collection Volume 2 is another must-own collection from the master of hand-drawn mayhem.

This 21 cartoon collection includes:

The first, and perhaps the best of the long-running series of horror films from the house of Hammer, Peter Cushing and Christopher Lee star in this landmark interpretation based on the famous Mary Shelley story. Baron Victor Frankenstein becomes friends with one of his teachers, Paul Krempe. At first, both men are fascinated by the potential of their re-animating experiments. Eventually, though, Krempe refuses to help with Frankenstein's human experiments. However, he is drawn back into the plot when Frankenstein's creature kills a member of the house staff. For its U.S. Blu-ray debut, Warner Archive is proud to present this deluxe 2 Disc Special Edition, featuring two theatrical aspect ratio presentations, meticulously remastered and restored from preservation separations, as well as bonus disc with the restoration presented in "open-matte" format, as was seen for years on television, plus four exciting new retrospective featurettes, an expert commentary, and the original theatrical trailer.

Judy Garland headlines The Harvey Girls, a joyous slice of Americana celebrating the "Harvey House" restaurants that brought extra helpings of civilization to the Old West. Famed M-G-M musical producer Arthur Freed brought together an impressive cast of talents for this box-office hit which features a delightful original score by composer Harry Warren and lyricist Johnny Mercer, who earned an Oscar for their On the Atchison, Topeka, and the Santa Fe as the Best Song of 1946. Garland once again shares the screen with her "Oz" co-star Ray Bolger, clowns with Virginia O'Brien, falls in love with leading man John Hodiak, and faces off against wicked saloon gal Angela Lansbury in one of the most entertaining and enduring musical classics to come from Metro's golden age, now fully restored to its original Technicolor luster for its Blu-ray debut.

RKO's resident "bad boy" Robert Mitchum (Out of the Past) surprised audiences with his softer side in this classic Yule-themed romantic comedy. Mitchum portrays Steve Mason, a department-store clerk who loses his job, yet buys an electric train set for a child he scarcely knows. It must be Christmastime. Robert Mitchum and Janet Leigh are warmly matched in Holiday Affair, a seasonal favorite scripted by Isobel Lennart (later to adapt Mitchum's The Sundowners) and directed by Hope/Crosby "road movies" veteran Don Hartman.

MISTER ROBERTS (1955) New 2020 1080p HD Remaster from 4K Scan of Original Negative Run Time: 121:00 Subtitles: English SDH Audio Specs: DTS HD-Master Audio 5.1 – English Aspect Ratio: 2.55:1-16x9 LETTERBOX Product Color: COLOR Disc Configuration: BD 50 Special Features: Commentary by Jack Lemmon, Original Theatrical Trailer (HD)

The USS Reluctant carries cargo along World War II's forgotten Pacific seaways. Beyond the horizon, the real war passes its stir-crazy crew by. Mister Roberts, directed by John Ford and Mervyn LeRoy, is the classic story of men fighting to survive – not war's dangers, but its indignities. Henry Fonda's reprise of his Tony®-winning Broadway role returned him to movies after seven years away. Jack Lemmon won his first Academy Award® as hapless, lecherous Ensign Pulver. James Cagney's petty, scrappy Captain makes a fierce adversary. In his final film, William Powell makes world-weary Doc a sage for the ages. Mister Roberts has moments of unforgettable humor. But sadness tempers the comedy. No shot is fired. No blood is spilled. Yet Mister Roberts endures as one of our most truthful war sagas.

YOUNG MAN WITH A HORN (1950) New 2020 1080p HD Remaster from 4K Scan of Original Nitrate Elements Run Time: 112:00 Subtitles: English SDH Audio Specs: DTS HD-Master Audio 2.0 – English Aspect Ratio: 1.37:1 4x3 Full Frame Product Color: B&W Disc Configuration: BD 50 Special Features: Lux Radio Theater broadcast (3/3/52) with Kirk Douglas and Jo Stafford; Vintage WB Cartoons: HILLBLLY HARE (HD); HOMELESS HARE (HD) and HURDY GURDY HARE (HD); Original Theatrical Trailer (HD)

With a secondhand trumpet and the loving guidance of a brilliant bluesman, a lonely boy grows into manhood as a superb musician whose talent carries him from honky-tonks to posh supper clubs. But his desperate search for an elusive high note – trapped in his mind but impossible to play – starts him on a boozy downward slide. Charged with dynamic performances by Kirk Douglas (the title role), Doris Day, Lauren Bacall and Hoagy Carmichael, and pitch-perfect direction by Michael Curtiz (Casablanca), the film is a feast of hot, cool, moody jazz. Legendary Harry James dubbed Douglas' hornwork. Day brings another fine instrument – her voice – to four standards. Movie and music lovers will be glad to meet this Man.

THE SHOP AROUND THE CORNER (1940) New 2020 1080p HD Remaster Run Time: 99:00 Subtitles: English SDH Audio Specs: DTS HD-Master Audio 2.0 – English Aspect Ratio: 1.37:1. 4x3 Full Frame Product Color: B&W Disc Configuration: BD 50 Special Features: Vintage MGM promotional film: "The Miracle Of Sound"; Screen Guild Theater radio broadcast (9/29/40) with Margaret Sullavan, James Stewart and Frank Morgan; Lux Radio Theater broadcast (6/23/41) with Claudette Colbert and Don Ameche.

Ernst Lubitsch adds his unique style of directorial aplomb to this timeless love story that marked the third of Margaret Sullavan and James Stewart's four film appearances together. A 1936 play by Nikolaus Laszlo called "Perfumerie" was the basis for this timeless love story set in a Budapest shop. With a witty screenplay adaptation by Samson Raphaelson, Stewart and Sullavan play bickering gift-shop workers Alfred and Klara, unaware that they have fallen in love with each other as secret pen pals who only know their respective correspondents as "Dear Friend". The charm of the stars ably supported by a sterling supporting cast headed by Frank Morgan make this timeless classic one to enjoy over and over again. The story was later filmed as "In The Good Old Summertime" with Judy Garland and Van Johnson in 1949, and as "You've Got Mail" in 1998. It was also the basis of the 1963 Broadway musical favorite "She Loves Me". Beautifully remastered from protection film elements made right from the original nitrate negative, this new Blu-ray presentation of the original 1940 classic is a joy to behold

As he does every winter, hobo Aloysius T. McKeever (Victor Moore) moves in to a mansion on New York City's 5th Avenue while its owners are away for the winter and invites all his hobo friends in from the cold. But this Christmas, Mary O'Connor (Ann Harding) comes home unexpectedly after a quarrel with her boyfriend to find her house occupied by jovial street dwellers. To make matters even worse, her father (Charles Ruggles) disguises himself as a hobo to get an invitation to stay in his own home -- and keeps his identity secret in this perennial Christmas favorite about rediscovering family and the joy of being together. Don DeFore (Romance on the High Seas) and Gale Storm (My Little Margie) co-star as the young love interests in this first release from Allied Artists Productions.

The seventh and final season opens with our heroes picking up the pieces of the society they destroyed on Sanctum. Still reeling from her mother's death, Clarke (series star Eliza Taylor), perhaps more than anyone, feels the toll of years upon years of fighting and loss. The group soon finds that maintaining order among the competing factions is no easy feat, and one that has them questioning whether their commitment to doing better was worth the price. At the same time, our heroes must contend with new obstacles on a scale beyond any that they previously experienced as they unravel the mysteries of the Anomaly. What they encounter on this epic journey pushes them to their limits both physically and emotionally, challenging their long-held conceptions of family, love, and sacrifice. Ultimately, our heroes must answer for themselves what it means to truly live, and not just survive.

THE CURSE OF FRANKENSTEIN (1957)

A priest (Alex Gallier) visits Baron Victor Frankenstein (Peter Cushing) in prison as he awaits execution. Desperate for someone to believe him, Victor begins to tell him the tale of the events that led to his imprisonment. As a young boy, Victor inherited the Frankenstein fortune and estate, becoming the Baron after his father's death. He hired Paul Krempe (Robert Urquhart) to be his tutor, and the two became fast friends. Over the years, they sought out new knowledge, eventually discovering the secret to life itself. But while Paul was content with resurrecting a dead dog, Victor thirsted for more, declaring that instead of returning life, he would forge an entirely new body out of various parts and create it instead! Though Paul was first attracted to the idea, the gravity of the situation quickly struck and he tried to dissuade Victor from his plans for his own sake, while at the same time trying to protect Victor's fiance Elizabeth (Hazel Court) from the truth. Victor killed Professor Bernstein (Paul Hardtmuth) in order to use his brain for his creation, though the brain became damaged thanks to Paul’s interference. Despite this, Victor finished work on his creation, but the resulting Creature (Christopher Lee) was mindless and violent, escaping out into the woods and killing an old man (Fred Johnson) and his grandson (Claude Kingston). Victor and Paul killed the Creature but unbeknownst to Paul, Victor revived it, keeping it deep within his lab and using it to kill his maid Justine (Valerie Gaunt) when she threatened to expose his work. Shortly before Victor and Elizabeth were to be married, the Creature escaped again, menacing Elizabeth before Victor killed his creation once and for all. His tale finished, Victor is visited by Paul one last time before heading to the gallows for his crimes.

The Curse of Frankenstein was the first of Hammer Film Productions' Gothic period piece horror films, getting the franchise off to a good, though slightly shaky start. Loosely based on Mary Shelley's original novel, it is a much slower, more character-driven interpretation of the story than Universal's Frankenstein, which focused more on the horror aspects. Not to suggest that Curse has no horror of its own - Christopher Lee's Frankenstein Monster (or "the Creature," rather) is a harrowing looking beast, with sickly pale skin, dead eyes, and more stitches than Universal's Monster would know what to do with. Lee plays the Creature as more of an instinctual, feral creature, which honestly probably makes more sense, especially with a damaged brain. Sadly, he doesn't get to do very much, and by the time he does start to go on his climactic rampage, he's killed by Victor almost immediately. Also, once the entire story has been told and the movie ends, it's not entirely clear why Victor is in prison, let alone about to be executed. Yes, he's responsible for the deaths of Justine, the old man, and the little boy, but there's no way for the authorities to know that. Quite some time passes between Justine's death and the rest of the movie - certainly Victor had disposed of her body by then (likely in the acid bath), and there's no real way to pin the old man and grandson on him (assuming their deaths were even known about), so while he may deserve the sentence, the fact that he even has it is questionable. Justine (played by Valerie Gaunt), meanwhile, ultimately feels like a waste. She’s set up as the treacherous maid having an affair with Victor, but then does absolutely nothing for the rest of the film until she foolishly decides to blackmail him near the end. She’s pretty to look at, but essentially only there so the Creature has someone resembling a main character to kill.

The star of the show, Peter Cushing plays the infamous Baron Frankenstein, turning in a rather interesting take on the character. This Frankenstein is no doctor, merely interested in the sciences as a way to increase his own genius. He starts off resurrecting a previously deceased dog, and when he succeeds at that, he simply wants to take the experiment to its next logical step: human beings. Despite the insanity of his experiments, Cushing plays Victor as a calm, logical man, a sharp contrast to Colin Clive's openly unhinged Henry Frankenstein from the Universal films. Very rarely does Victor lose his cool or raise his voice, doing so only when somebody threatens his work. Of course, despite his cool demeanor, he's not afraid to get his hands dirty, turning people into bodies and then hacking them apart for use in his creation. Cushing would later consider Victor his most popular role, and he would go on to play him again five more times.

Finally, we come to Paul. Played by Robert Urquhart, Paul is undoubtedly the most problematic element of the film. Initially, he is right alongside Victor in the thirst for knowledge and the quest to create life itself, but he soon changes his tune and then does nothing but complain for the rest of the film. Yes, the movie clearly intends for Paul to be a conscientious objector, the moral compass for the audience to identify with as he tries to convince Victor to cease his experiments... The only problem is that he instead comes off as nothing but a whining wet blanket, with both him and the film itself ignoring the fact that it had to have been him who set Victor down this path. After all, Paul was his tutor, who taught him everything he knew, and Victor clearly had no interest in playing God beforehand. Certainly, Paul could have second thoughts upon realizing the gravity of the situation, but the execution is severely lacking, and Paul instead comes off as a petulant child throwing a tantrum. Instead of trying to appeal to Victor in any real meaningful way, countless scenes end with Paul essentially saying, "This is crazy and I don't like it," and then huffing and stomping out of the room. It's also Paul's fault that the brain Victor had planned for the Creature is damaged, potentially making him responsible for the deaths the monster caused. And lastly, when he visits Victor in jail at the end of the film, he literally does nothing to help him, showing up, watching Victor desperately beg for his life, and then leaving. Now, if Paul believed Victor deserved execution for what he'd done, that would be understandable, but then why even go to the prison at all and taunt him with a moment of false hope at the eleventh hour? Paul is supposed to be the sane man of the two - the hero, even - but he just comes off as an indecisive ass who tries to have things both ways and he ultimately bogs the film down.

Though it faced a series of obstacles behind the scenes that made its creation difficult (including a too short script, concerns over the level of gore, and a potential lawsuit from Universal over similarities between this and Son of Frankenstein), The Curse of Frankenstein nevertheless gave birth to "Hammer Horror," the only real franchise capable of rivaling Universal's iconic monster movies. The film paved the way for multiple sequels starring Peter Cushing as Victor Frankenstein, as well as other films by Hammer involving Dracula and the Mummy.

Del. Betsy Carr paddled through choppy water in her kayak along the Clinch River, joined shortly by her General Assembly colleague, Del. Chris Hurst.

“That was fun!” said Carr, D-Richmond.

Several lawmakers floated along the waterway Friday as part of an outing of the Sportsmen’s Caucus to learn about the Clinch River corridor that the state and communities are working together to turn into a state park. The Nature Conservancy hoped by showing off the region and the river, lawmakers would envision what it could be and continue their support.

“We think we’re going to become a mecca of outdoor activity and that will be a bright future for Southwest Virginia,” said Brad Kremps, the Clinch Valley program director.

The development of the state park will take a few years. Plans started flowing in 2016, when the General Assembly approved $2.5 million for the first phase.

“We’re hoping to put more emphasis on Southwest Virginia,” said Sen. Emmett Hanger, R-Augusta, a Sportmen’s Caucus chair.

The goal is to have the park stretch along the Clinch River, which rises in Tazwell County and winds through Russell, Wise and Scott counties into Tennessee. The state is working on purchasing three pieces of land ranging from 300 to 500 acres across three counties to anchor the park. The state is hoping to close on one section of land in St. Paul later this summer.

The Curse of Frankenstein (1957) - Episode 26 - Decades of Horror: The Classic Era

“I've harmed nobody, just robbed a few graves!” Right! What’s the harm in that? Especially if your name is Baron Frankenstein. Join this episode’s Grue Crew - Chad Hunt, Joseph Perry, and Jeff Mohr - as they celebrate the podcast’s first anniversary by taking on The Curse of Frankenstein (1957). It’s an episode of firsts. Besides their first anniversary, it’s their first Hammer film, first Peter Cushing film, and first Christopher Lee film. Well, it’s about time!

Decades of Horror: The Classic Era Episode 26 – The Curse of Frankenstein (1957)

Directed by Terence Fisher and written by Jimmy Sangster, both Hammer regulars, The Curse of Frankenstein is Hammer’s first outright gothic horror film and their first color film. With Peter Cushing as Dr. Victor Frankenstein and Christopher Lee as the Monster, co-starring for the first time, the die was set for many future Hammer film collaborations between the two. The cast is rounded out with Robert Urquhart as Paul Krempe, Victor’s mentor and partner; Hazel Court as Victor’s cousin and fiance, Elizabeth; Valerie Gaunt as Justine, the maid who is also having an affair with Victor; and Paul Hardtmuth as Professor Bernstein and the donor of the monster’s brain.

Under threat of lawsuit from Universal, the filmmakers made numerous changes to the classic story. The monster in The Curse of Frankenstein bears no resemblance to the Jack Pierce makeup Boris Karloff wears in Frankenstein (1931). Another major change depicts the Baron as a completely unsympathetic character, masterfully played by Cushing.

Jeff is surprised that Victor is engaged to his cousin, but admits social mores might have been a bit different in the nineteenth century.  Chad is genuinely angry with Victor’s total lack of moral character and how little regard he gives the other characters. Joseph points out how shocking the color and blood must have been in 1957. All three of them are wowed with the acting in The Curse of Frankenstein, especially that of Christopher Lee and Peter Cushing.

On the anniversary of their first episode, the Decades of Horror: The Classic Era Grue Crew take time to stress how thankful they are for their listeners and for Doc Rotten allowing them the freedom to do the podcast and for providing the structure to talk about what they love: horror films from the beginning of film through 1969.

They finish the episode by reading a listener comment from Saltyessentials about Episode 24 - Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1956).

We plan to release a new episode every other week. The next episode in our very flexible schedule is The Blood Beast Terror (1968), selected and hosted by Joseph Perry.

Please let us know what you think of Decades of Horror: The Classic Era and what films you’d like to hear us cover! We want to hear from you! After all, without you, we’re just four nutjobs talking about the films we love.
