Here I am, back to my usual hasty post before rehearsal. Since I missed this week’s Monstrous Monday post, perhaps I could indulge in a monster picture or two.
Kafka knew from monsters.
I open with this, because I have not been writing enough lately. I think I would make a pretty scary monster, so maybe there is an upside to not writing.
I don’t remember the Wasp Woman flying in the movie.
Here is a good female monster. She got this way from trying too hard to stay young and beautiful. There may be a moral to that tale, or an opening for a discussion of the unreasonable demands society places on women. I am naturally not up to such a discussion at present. This post is veering into Tired Tuesday territory.
Monsters and coffee: two of my favorite things.
Since we’re talking about lady monsters, I thought I’d throw in Deadly Women, one of my favorite guilty pleasure shows. I have not seen it in a while. I’ll have to look for it. I just can’t get enough murder and mayhem.
Full disclosure: I do not own this Blu-ray, or indeed, any blu-rays.
I was looking for The Bride of Frankenstein to round out the post, but I think The Brain That Wouldn’t Die works just as well.
So now I am only one blog post behind. Let’s see how long it takes me to catch up. Full disclosure: it may not happen tomorrow. After rehearsal tonight, I may not be rising at 3:30 like I did this morning.
