The Monster
This is another old post from Bloggers but I thought some folks might like it..



It's alive............

So here I am 6 in the morning typing for this site..Got up two hrs before searching stuff on the web. I'm obsessed with this new stuff and yes I feel like I created a monster. New gmail account, meetup group and now bloging. I enter a site called blogrolling.com to help me with linking and I find myself spending way to much time trying to get an account up and running with them. This stuff takes on a life of it's own..lol..Enough bitching.

So monsters.....In line with my rant lets start with Frankenstein...This past fall I was able to buy the The Legacy Collection.. The Boris Karloff one Frankenstein, The Brid of Frankenstein (1935), Son of Frankenstein (1939), Ghost of Frankenstein (1942) and House of Frankenstein. Then a lot of cool behind the scenes stuff and files on Frankenstein. The movies are all pretty good classic films but some times their stuck in their place of time.

What I mean is the Mary Shelly story is very wild and still very relavent to todays world. Is it the story of Faust, the man who makes a pack with the devil for all known knowledge or could it be seen in the frame work of the rise of science in the presence of religion and its prejudice.
One other thought is the work of the occult. Now I don't have information right infront of me, so I'm not going to go in to detail. I would like to have my facts straight. Through my readings and research that the members of the artist community now and then have been effected by occult thinking. No this is not the ooohhh scary stuff run alway kinda of web blog..Go to any book stores and the occult part covers aspects of eastern religion,philosophy paranormal, esp and probably aliens..Things like Taoism and alchemistry you know.

Shelly leaves the creation (granted I need to read the book it self, I read books about the book,now does that make sense..lol) of the monster up in the air. Due to the elixer of life or somthing like that..Universal studio's in the first movie makes it look more like sound science with the machines and gadjets. The Brid of Frankenstein deals more with the occult aspect. Even though I think the little people part of the film was kinda of stupid (my own thought).

My attention span is waning..So more later..
