Not to be that person (also I found you through Maven of the Eventide / Elisa Hansen), but delicious finally some genre literacy and media awareness and comprehension, I say this as JonMina and LuMina’s biggest fan.

2025-01-27 20:22:12 +0000 UTCI'm kind of confused by the idea that Victorians didn't have a concept of childhood. Do you mean relative to stuff like child labor, or the idea that their concept of development was very different than ours? I would strongly argue that they did, but that the idea of a pure and angelic child was usually reserved for white Christian children of middle class and above. Their iconography, child rearing practices, laws... I just don't think it makes sense to argue that they didn't have one. I think they did but they ascribed what we would now consider adult responsibilities and morality standards (i.e. lying being the worst sin a kid could commit). I would really love to hear your thoughts on this, because I always value your analysis.

2025-01-25 23:29:31 +0000 UTCI actually really needed to hear your thoughts on this complex subject, Princess. Haven't seen the movie, but it does look interesting, for what it's worth.

2025-01-25 04:40:26 +0000 UTCI’m glad you brought up the influence of FFC’s BS Dracula because that was really apparent to me and yet a lot of critics seem to have ignored it. In many ways, the Eggers’ version is what the FFC version promised to be but ultimately didn’t deliver (although Eiko Ishioka’s costumes are still awesome). Out of interest, what version of the 1922 film did you use in this video? I was traumatised by the awful version that’s on Amazon Prime at the moment, and my DVD version from 2000 is a bit ropey and very low resolution. I did some research and got overwhelmed by all the different versions out there!
