Aim for today's evening is finishing Mary Shelley's Frankenstein. Considered a classic, it was somehow different from what I expected. No digging on graveyards, not even described of what Frankenstein's monster - this artificial "human" - consists. 🤔
Nevertheless, started with God Emperor of Dune yesterday. I assume this will be my next reading project.
And maybe something German too.
Tonight's movie was Frankenstein (2025). It's on Netflix and is based on Mary Shelley's book, of course, with a screenplay written by Guillermo del Toro.
I found it surprisingly moving. And very well done.
Stars: Oscar Isaac, Jacob Elordi, Christoph Waltz, Mia Goth, Felix Kammerer, & David Bradley.
Directed by Guillermo del Toro.
Music by Alexandre Desplat, who has composed music for well over 200 movies and TV shows!

Gurley pointed to an essay by Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei, suggesting the company envisions an AI-run capitalist economy that distributes resources to humans.

Après le réalisateur Guillermo del Torro sur Netflix, c'est au tour de David Sala de poser sa version du grand roman de Mary Shelley : Frankenstein. Cette histoire ne vieillit pas et trouve même de nouveaux échos aux actualités récentes, une oeuvre intemporelle assurément. D'emblée on est frappé ...
