Guillermo del Toro directing Frankenstein is a gift to humanity on its own, but the possibility of Andrew Garfield finally bringing the queer yearning and fruitiness that has been missing from every adaptation of Frankenstein is the cherry on top of the cake
EDIT:
If you need a reminder we’re in the darkest timeline look no further than the outline of the adaption of into the woods we could have had back in the 90s
This version also would have had all the creatures in the movie played by puppets made by the Jim Henson company.
WE WERE F@*%#<€$¥ING ROBBED
At first I was like "mmmh Rick O'Connell" as a joke..
But like... I don't think it's a joke anymore O--O
For context we just finished watching "The Mummy" in my World History class and I now have an Obsession with O'Connell. I mean- CAN YOU BLAME ME?!
Brendan Fraser could play Indiana Jones but Harrison Ford COULD NEVER play Rick O'Connell.

Simon Wilder: You asked the question, sir, now let me answer it. The beauty of the Constitution is that it can always be changed. The beauty of the Constitution is that it makes no set law other than faith in the wisdom of ordinary people to govern themselves.
Professor Pitkannan: Faith in the wisdom of the people is exactly what makes the Constitution incomplete and crude.
Simon Wilder: Crude? No, sir. Our "founding parents" were pompous, white, middle-aged farmers, but they were also great men. Because they knew one thing that all great men should know: that they didn't know everything. Sure, they'd make mistakes, but they made sure to leave a way to correct them. The president is not an "elected king," no matter how many bombs he can drop. Because the "crude" Constitution doesn't trust him. He's just a bum, okay Mr. Pitkannan? He's just a bum.
This is one of the best movies from the 90's and deserves way more recognition. Despite what these pictures and the publicity for this movie will have you believe, Brendan Fraser isn't the main character. (I'm not complaining about the eye candy though) Not really. The real star is Joe Pesci as Simon. He has the best lines and the frankly better character arc.
One of the things that kills me about this movie is that in the exchange above, the other person in the conversation is played by Gore Vidal. Yes, THAT Gore Vidal. Essayist, Public intellectual, Bisexual, Said gross things about the Roman Polanski case, had fueds with Truman Capote, William F. Buckley Jr., AND Norman Mailer, Had alleged love affairs with Anais Nin AND Fred Astaire, Gore Vidal.
