Oh, I'm not saying you weren't on the right track. The fact that Victor takes no pleasure or pride in what he's created speaks volumes to your hypothesis about Frankenstein being Shelly's vehicle to discuss post partum depression, and Victor always refers to the process of building his creation as "painful labor." My British Lit professor in college also shared your hypothesis. As he so aptly put it, "The monster has a face only a mother could love but he doesn't have one in the story, so Mary Shelly assumes that role by being his advocate and making sure his side of the story is told.." 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was more that the entire class had to present the same paper and I was trying to figure out a different way in than most of the other students were taking. I will say that the passage where Victor is immediately horrified by something he personally spent months laboring into being always jumped out to me as Shelley putting words to something that really had no definition yet and wouldn't for over a century. I would quite honestly love to read this paper. It seems like an amazing take and I love, love, love the implications here. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I should since I'm normally a pack rat when it comes to things I wrote when I was younger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And as soon as we find a cure for cancer, we're gonna thaw out the Duke and he's gonna be pretty pissed off. You know why? Have you ever taken a cold shower? Well multiply that by 15 million times that's how pissed off the Duke's gonna be. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Contentious C Posted April 17, 2018 Share Posted April 17, 2018 I don't know, at least some millenials have served in the military, which is more than anyone can say for the Duke of Draft Dodgers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.T. Posted April 19, 2018 Share Posted April 19, 2018 Someone at Paramount obviously reads this board. Quote It's game on for F. Gary Gray and Hasbro's M.A.S.K. property. The Fate of the Furious filmmaker will direct the project for Paramount, The Hollywood Reporter has confirmed. No writer is yet attached to the project, based on the 1980s property created by the now-defunct toy company Kenner. The premise, which revolves around the task force M.A.S.K. (which stands for Mobile Armored Strike Kommand) and its battle against the evil V.E.N.O.M. (Vicious Evil Network of Mayhem), has spawned a cartoon series and comics in addition to a number of toys. Gray is producing the film along with Hasbro. I would go see the MASK movie a million billion times. DVDVR Films will be talking to its legal staff and will launch an investigation into the theft of our idea for our first tentpole franchise. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Craig H Posted April 19, 2018 Share Posted April 19, 2018 A final trailer was released for Jurassic World 2. I'm not even posting it. That movie looks like total dogshit. One part rescue mission for a raptor they think everyone remembers and gives a shit about and one part MOAR LOST WORLD with dinosaurs messing up the mainland. It looks worse than Jurassic World. I fully expect it to rake at the box office. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MASK is the reason I write about cars for a living... even though every one I've driven since has been a disappointment due to not converting into rockets or battering rams. One weird thing though: I don't remember ever watching the cartoon, or it ever being on in my house, yet I had loads of the toys *shrug* 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only thing that will bug me is if they include T-Bob, the robot scooter companion for the MASK commander's son. I am not sure why every cartoon since the early 80's needed a cute robot as comedy relief. I blame Star Wars. We ruined perfectly good episodes of Science Ninja Team Gatchaman by renaming it to Battle of the Planets and putting an R2D2 clone named 7-Zark-7 into the storylines. God bless the USA.

Bustronaut Posted April 19, 2018 Share Posted April 19, 2018 This is all moot, because F. Gary Gray has somehow become a terrible director, if F8 of the Furious is any indication. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least it's a cool theme, although how the bad guys are from "beyond space" always confused me, even as a kid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
