Finished "Frankenstein", it was ok but mostly pish. But when it was good it was very good. Particularly the creature's own tale as told to Victor Frankenstein on the icy slopes of Mont Blanc. And who knew that Victor and the creature passed through Glasgow,Edinburgh, and Perth on their way to the Orkney isles? Hampden also got a mention.
Now gonny read "The Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde" or Joseph Conrad 's "Heart of Darkness", no decided which yet.
Dracula the new film was just shot in North Belfast, a half mile from my Ma's in Ligoniel. An old Quarry.
I thought that was only loosely based on themes from Heart of Darkness? Anyhoo am gonny read it next so keep yer trap shut.
See above. Like I said I was under the impression that Apocalypse Now was very loosely based on themes from the book. But we'll see. Am gonny read it next. So you too can keep yer trap shut.
Don't read my following statement At the height of the Vietnam war, experienced soldier and covert operative Captain Benjamin Willard withdraws from a drunken and disheveled state to accept his most daring and secretive mission yet. His objective is to travel down the Nyung river by boat and assassinate a Green Beret Colonel named Kurtz who has gone insane deep within the Jungle, and leads his men and a local tribe as a god on illegal guerrilla missions into enemy territory. As Willard and the crew of a Navy PR boat unaware of his objective embark on their journey from the security of civilization into the untamed depths of the jungle, Willard confronts not only the same horrors and hypocrisy that pushed the level headed Colonel Kurtz over the edge into an abyss if insanity, but the primal violence of human nature and the darkness of his own heart.
