gods and monsters

We just watched the wonderful Gods and Monsters again. Ian McKellan and Brendan Fraser are brilliant together. There is a real sense that their relationship with each other is important. Well worth watching, if you haven't already seen it. It will make you cry. It will make you fancy Brendan Fraser, whether you are straight or gay. It's like a rule of the film. The only sad thing about the DVD was the mildly interesting documentary extra about James Whale. Some stupid man, one of the producers I think, just had to tell us that black humour and gallows humour comes from the first world war. I just wanted to poke him in the eye.
