    This feels like an almost appropriate time to note that the early German versions of most Godzilla movies changed the stories/titles slightly so that the monsters were creations of Victor Frankenstein, and not just the one Toho movie where one of them was actually a Frankenstein

    Who is an actor or two that will immediately pull you into seeing a movie?. James McAvoy for me. X-Men first Class, Split, Speak No Evil, even Victor Frankenstein. If MCavoy's name is attached to it, I'm probably going to see it. Charlize Theron is next. Mad Max: Fury road, Monster, and Kubo. Old guard... she acted her heart out, but it was okay in the end.

    Mary Shelley's Frankenstein is such a profoundly unserious movie. First there's comedy smash cuts to ballroom dancing, multiple. Now Victor Frankenstein took his shirt off for no other reason than to pull focus. And then wrestled with the monster. Covered in slime. All solid directorial choices.

    Then he enthusiastically pitched some of the most asinine fan-fiction bullshit ideas I ever heard, one of which eventually became his terrible movie VICTOR FRANKENSTEIN. Even before knowing he was a serial abuser and a shitty filmmaker he radiated pure obnoxious repugnance and off-putting phoniness.
