“I find the death and the maiden trope spectacular when it’s properly done—for example, when it feels organic to the story and doesn’t participate in a dodgy aesthetic. All I ask of a story about the murder of a woman, or the murder of several women, is that it doesn’t imply that her death was beautiful, or that the murdered woman is in some way more beautiful or potent or interesting in death. That’s a terrible lie, and I don’t want to hear it. People tend to be at their most beautiful and potent and interesting when they’re alive.”
“[Marian Marsh] is the epitome of Du Maurier’s doomed heroine. She was an unusual talent who captured all the imperiled beauty of a classic horror heroine, who seemed to have wandered out of a storybook.” – Gregory William Mank author of “Women in Horror Films, 1930s.”
remember that time Mads Mikkelsen made a film and just ?? didn’t tell anyone ?? like he said he was going to Iceland and his agents were like okay why and he just told them it was a trip ?? and came back like sike I made a movie bitches ?? I aspire to be mads mikkelsen in life.
“oh you know, went for a vacation in Iceland, played a man stranded in the snow, lost about 30 pounds, the usual.”
like the moment when you’ve swum too far out in the sea and there is no going back, only cold black water closing over your head
