Hard to tell since her eyes are closed. This woman's nose looks more crooked than Kathryn Hahn's.

Will this surpass Bohemian Rhapsody and become the highest-grossing music biopic ever?

I'm listening to the new Harry Potter audiobook and unlike the movies, they pronounce Voldemort's name correctly (the "t" is silent). I wonder if the HBO series will do the same?

It's funny, there's another version of The Mummy coming out next year that is totally unrelated to this one. It's a full-on horror movie and is being directed by Lee Cronin, who directed Evil Dead Rise.

Interesting. I wonder if Brendan Fraser will have to do a lot of training for this, since he doesn't exactly have an action hero physique anymore?

The first part of Harry Potter: The Full-Cast Audio Editions is out today on Audible and it may have an even more impressive cast than the HBO series. The actors they have gotten for the Defence Against the Dark Arts teachers are on another level: Sacha Dhawan is Quirrell, Kit Harington is Lockhart, Iwan Rheon is Lupin, James McAvoy is Moody and Keira Knightley is Umbridge. Arabella Stanton, the girl who is playing Hermione in the HBO series, also voices her in the first three audiobooks, so you can check it out if you want an early idea of what she will bring to the role.

I just saw that Jesse Eisenberg is donating one of his kidneys to a complete stranger. Damn, that's an incredibly noble thing to do.

My tweet giving my verdict on Frankenstein blew up in a way I couldn't have imagined. It was even retweeted by the man himself!

It must really suck to be David Harbour right now. He's getting a lot of crap because of his split from Lily Allen and now there's a report going around that Millie Bobby Brown has accused him of bullying and harassment (nothing sexual, just so we're clear). It's pretty bad that this should happen right when the final season of Stranger Things is about to come out, but I wonder if this will impact any future involvement he will have in the MCU and the DCU?

I was excited for Guillermo del Toro's Frankenstein and he didn't let me down. It's a grim yet beautiful story with excellent performances all around. Jacob Elordi steals the show as the Creature, who is not a monster by his nature, but becomes one from being treated as such.

Funny thing, Kelsey Grammer just became a dad for the eighth time at age 70:

It's funny, when most people think of Frankenstein's Monster, they think of Boris Karloff going "hrrr, rrrr!" But the Monster in Mary Shelley's original book is quite different from that and is actually a very articulate character.

Given the circumstances, that was impossible. If they hadn't sold those rights, this franchise would not exist and none of us would be here talking about it.

@Optimusprimebumblebee "Neo Astral-X" 123 They won't just give the rights to those characters to Disney, they'll demand a king's ransom for them.

No, it wasn't a mistake, it was the end result of a lot of different mistakes. Marvel was on the verge of bankruptcy and they needed to sell the cinematic rights to those characters to keep the company afloat. If they hadn't done that, Marvel would have ceased to exist and the MCU would never have existed in the first place.

Besides, if they had had the rights to Spider-Man, the X-Men, the Fantastic Four etc., we never would have seen more obscure characters like the Guardians of the Galaxy brought to the screen.

I was honestly shocked when it was announced that he was doing that, because he's my favourite director to emerge in the last decade and based on his track record I never expected him to do anything kid friendly.

On the subject of A Christmas Carol, I wonder if he will cast some more of his regulars besides Dafoe? It would be funny if Lily-Rose ends up being in it, since her dad is going to be in Ti West's version. Simon McBurney, who played Knock in Nosferatu, would be a great Jacob Marley and Ian Whyte, who played the Mound Dweller in The Northman, has to play the Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come.
