this “negative” review of guillermo del toro’s upcoming frankenstein movie is everything to me
“The Mexican director has chosen to emphasise the romanticism at the expense of the horror. Elordi plays the creature as a misunderstood, James Dean-like outsider with Oedipal issues rather than as an agent of evil and chaos. Even if his face and torso are latticed with suitably grotesque scars, staples and stitches, he is not only the most sympathetic character in the movie but the best-looking one too. It’s left to Oscar Isaac to provide the real villainy as the brilliant but egomaniacal scientist, Victor Frankenstein…”

post-apocalyptic gang like the kings, the gang that worship elvis from fallout new vegas, except they’re all skaters who worship tony hawk
Addendum: none of them know what he looked like
What did The Hawk look like? He looked like you. You look like Him. We all look like Him. The Hawk was always told “You look like Tony Hawk”, but no one ever thought He was The Hawk. So we can only presume that everyone looks like The Hawk. He is the commonality of all humanity.
The commonality of all humanity that does sick shreds.
Stressing its commitment to making everyone feel welcome regardless of athletic ability, national gym franchise Planet Fitness instituted a new policy Thursday that bans proper form. “We don’t want new gym-goers to feel intimidated by people doing squats correctly, so from now on, members will be penalized when they lift with their legs instead of their backs,” said Planet Fitness spokesperson Jim Kaplan, explaining that the gym chain’s trademark “lunk alarm” would sound for the first two offenses of appropriate posture, while a third instance of safe technique would result in a permanent ban from the club.
