SOmewhere in that plot there's material for about three good movies... it just doesn't work well together.

Last post by Rev. Powell - July 15, 2026, 06:25:56 PMDude, the reason they do the bog dance number is because Mary Shelley's ghost possesses them! Pay attention! 
I recommend this movie to everyone. I love a big, insane mess of a movie. (I also recommend MEGALOPOLIS, so take that into account).

Last post by chainsaw midget - July 15, 2026, 06:05:11 PMThe Bride (2026)
This is a new one, so I'm going to do something I don't normally do.
I'm going to give you a spoiler warning.
This post spoils everything.
and now you're warned.
I just watcheed The Bride, the new Bride of Frankenstein movie. It only took me a few minutes in before I realizes ... damn. It is not looking good. That Mary Shelly intro is just all sorts of terrible not only from a narrative point of view, but disrespectful.
It starts with a very tell-no-show scene where Mary Shelly, is in some dark void talking about how she wants to present the story that she REALLY wanted to tell. She comes across as either drunk, insane, or some combination of the two in a very disrespectful way. She ends up possessing a woman... who is almost immediately killed. Then the actual Frankenstein's Monster (called Frank through most of the movie), shows up at some random mad scientists house. He tells her straight up that he wants sex, so she needs to make him a Bride. I'm not joking. That's actually how he puts it. So... they end up end up digging up the body of that woman who Mary Shelly possessed. And it appears that Mary Shelly is still in there, although what effect that has on the actual plot never seem to be apparent.
The woman is brought back, she doesn't know her name and the movie makes a big deal out of this. She distinctively does not want to be Frank's bride, although they go out together and they bond ... somehow. It's just that they start getting along. I don't know.
So, one night the two of them are attacked by some drunken punks and Frank kills them when they try to rape The Bride. From here on "the Killer Monsters" seem to be a big news story. This introduces a detective and his secretary that never seem to actually have anything to do with the plot until the last few minutes.
Eventually while on the run, they sneak into some big fancy party where they pretend to be waiters. For some reason they do a big dance number to "Putting on the Ritz". Then The Bride has this weird long rant afterwards they shoot and policeman and run. Apparently this inspires like, six women to run through the streets shooting guns in the air and shouting "Brain attack" for reasons I can't figure out. This is apparently some big femminist movement.
so Frank and his Bride are on the run. A cop pulls them over and tries to rape the Bride and Frank shoots him (kinda odd that this is the second time in the movie that somebody tries to rape her and Frank saves her.)
There a scene later in the movie where they got to a theater, and Frank confesses that she's not actually just recovering from an accident like they told her ealier. They brought her back to life and he had no idea who she was before that. There's a weird thing where they're sitting in a car talking, but the drive-in theater shows them as actors on screen delivering the same lines and this ISN'T a stylistic effect because there's one other character who can see this and has no idea what's going on. Anyway, this is when she decideds she has to have a new name and declares herself "The Bride."
Frank proposes to her and she says she doesn't want to be anyone's bride. Kinda mixed signals there. Then the police show up and shoot Frank in the head. And he dies. The Bride decides to take his body back to the mad doctor from the begining.
She can't revive him and isn't going to try. Here's where we get a last minute revelation that she and her former lover used to experiment on each other until one of the experiments went wrong, he forgot who she was, and she had to put him down. Kinda too little too late to mean anything to the movie.
The detective that has been following them the whole time jumps out and shoots the Bride a bunch. Then other police show up and open fire on Frank and his Bride and the detective runs.
The secretary then says she's in charge, she's the detective, and pulls out a badge, which is another revelation too late to mean anything.
The movie ends with a flash of electricity and we see the Bride and Frank's hands start to move. Then we hear The Monster Mash. No seriously.
I don't know what this movie was trying to be. It felt very much like Frankenstein itself, pieced together from various plotlines that were in no way meant to be attached to each other.
Also, I don't know why they thought making making the Bride look like that scene in Ernest goes to Jail where he's eating the pen was a good idea.

I really think Argentina have had it a little too easy in this tournament. One of the Argentinian players clearly punched an England player in the head. No foul, no red card 😳
yeah I agree there do seem to have been some questionable refereeing decisions in this world cup, weighted toward certain teams. argentina being one
