You repell me

We saw the reverse casting of Frankenstein.  I did like the original better overall.  But the reverse was absolutely excellent, and some things were done better for both characters.  A great experience overall, and something I definitely would buy on DVD if it should turn out that they lied, and release it.

HOWEVER

Remember I said yesterday I was all freaked out about disgusting Cumberbitches, and then it turned out I had nothing to fear?   I actually felt a bit bad for being so judgmental. 

I no longer feel that way.

The rape/murder scene when the monster kills Elizabeth was much worse with Miller's monster -- louder and longer and just... well, it's meant to be horrifying, but I was much more horrified than yesterday.  In fact, if I'd known I wouldn't have brought my little brother..

The Cumberbitches laughed.  I am not joking.  LAUGHED. 

I am still angry.

Ugh.

Oh dear, that's terrible...

I mean, how can one find that sort of scene funny--or entertaining?! No matter who plays it and no matter which actor(s) one likes?

Wow. That's disgusting. Incredible.

(I will however point out that the fans of Cumberbatch whom I have met (whether they call themselves That Name or not, I don't know) have generally come across as reasonably sane and ... kinda normal. But granted, the van and everything in this instance really did lend itself to questionable judgement.)

But just wow.

Yeah.

I'm sure there are normal sane fangirls. I hope to a degree I am one myself. But some stuff I see on the internet, and then this live experience, make me think that there are plenty of the non-sensible ones around...

Ewwww. I had forgotten about that scene. It was truly horrifying. Was it nervous laughter? No, by your anger I can tell it wasn't. I once had the same type of experience in school when a group of young girls giggled while watching a newsreel type film of wartime executions. The teacher was furious and let them know it. A distinct lack of empathy.

Yeah, it was horrifying. And much more horrifying when Miller was the monster. And no, not nervous laughter.... that would've been immature, but not as maddening.

"Cumberbitch" is a new one on me; hard to get your head around that mindset; unless it was nervous or tension relieving laughter?

Sorry it spoiled your evening, sounds as though it was a fascinating experience otherwise.
