eldabeI posted this on my LJ on the 15th. Still not quite up with the cross-posting thing yet, and I'm generally more comfortable posting on LJ anyway. I'll it out one day.
Frankenstein. I saw Jonny Lee Miller's everything, which was unexpected because I haven't been reading reviews. I saw a bit of Benedict Cumberbatch's chest.
I am really tempted to do it again on a day when Cumberbatch plays the Monster and Miller plays Frenkenstein, and not to see Cumberbatch naked, but rather because Miller's Monster was so wild, and I have never seen Cumberbatch do anything that was not straight-laced and controlled. (Frankenstein only broke once or twice, and he recovered pretty quickly, all things considered. I want to see how Cumberbatch interprets some of the scenes. I imagine his would be really dark.)
The one thing that really bothered me, even though I didn't realize it until later, is that Elizabeth was fridged. Literally, she was killed by the Monster to torture Frankenstein, and even her own merit couldn't save her. I know this predates the term, and it fits the narrative well, butwas she raped in the original? I'm pretty sure she wasn't, and then that whole bit was unnecessary. Although well done, I'll give them that.
ANYWAY. I'm incredibly busy this weekend doing things I was supposed to do this week, and then I'm going to Cardiff on Sunday!!! DOCTOR WHO TOUR AND MEETINGfiwen1010 IN ONE DAY. THE WORLD CANNOT HANDLE SUCH AWESOMENESS.
So fair warning, I have no idea what my 'net access will be like for a while. In-and-out, I assume.
