I just started reading Dracula, and the beginning is already so funny. Jonathan Harker genuinely says “I simply must remember to ask Count Dracula”—[thunder crash]—“why the locals make the sign of the cross and mutter about Satan whenever I mention his castle.”

#Jonathan Harker is presumably the one man on earth who would miss the Frau Blücher gag in Young Frankenstein #Dracula

young frankenstein AU ed frankenstein is a bored genius science professor who gets a letter he's inherited his grandfather's castle and he goes bc it might be interesting and stede is his silly little universe appointed blonde assistant who isn't actually as dumb as he seems. izzy as igor (they have completely different personalities but who else fills the narrative role correctly? idk) and jack as elizabeth but the exact opposite of the taffeta scene happens where ed is concerned about his travel clothes and jack keeps trying to make out with him fucknasty style. idk who the monster could be, maybe the monster could just be the monster. Chauncey could be Inspector Kemp. Actually maybe Izzy would make a better Frau Blücher ("Izzy Hands" *horses cry out in terror* is objectively funny). Maybe he's some kind of combo Blücher-Igor character idk. this is a very silly idea, after all

[bettyfrommars]

Young Frankenstein is one of my favourite movies, the gag where the horses neigh whenever Frau Blücher says her name fuckin kills me

Yes 🤣

it's pure comedic genius and I always know I've found "my people" when we can quote the movie to each other.

Madeleine Kahn absolutely kills me, and the corny lines that hit just right.

Whenever I feel blue (which was quite often in 2023) I look up the bloopers for that film and giggle like it's the first time.

GIVE HIM THE SEGAGIVE

Well I was going to make a stupid "Frau Blücher!" joke with a few screenshots of the new Spice and Wolf adaptation, but unfortunately I no longer seem to be able to take screenshots of Crunchyroll videos.

...Kinda kills the whole "engaging with the content" thing to not be able to make stupid jokes.

I love the SJ is Aizawa's teacher AU and how almost everyone fears this man XD Do you know the Frau Blücher meme in Young Frankenstein? Because I can picture something similar happening everytime SJ's name is spoken outloud in UA

Don't know Frau Blücher meme in Young Frankenstein, but I imagine that Shen Jiu's name must be the "who-shall-not-be-named" name.

(And thus we need Shen Jiu to be walking around in fluttery hanfu robes that flare and billow behind him.)

Rivisitazioni

Frankenstein, lo ricordo, è il medico, il barone Victor. Eppure appena si sente il nome in questione, la prima immagine che viene in mente è questa:

cioè il ruolo della Creatura che Boris Karloff ebbe in una serie di film prodotti dalla Universal con la regia, tra gli altri, di James Whale, negli anni ‘30. Partendo dal capolavoro di Mary Wollstonecraft Godwin Shelley, pubblicato nel 1818 e riedito dalla stessa autrice nel 1831, tantissimi hanno pensato di farne un film, per quella che è, con Dracula e i Vampiri, il soggetto più trasporto della storia del Cinema. Ho ritrovato una lista, da un’idea di Marco Giusti, che raccoglie alcune perle.

La Parodia - Frankenstein Junior, Mel Brooks, 1974

Uno dei massimi film comici di tutti i tempi. Gene Wilder è il nipote del dottore, Peter Boyle nel ruolo della vita dopo Crazy Joe (di Carlo Lizzani, sulla figura del gangster Joe Gallo) è la Creatura, Marty Feldman il più indimenticabile degli Igor, Teri Garr è Inga, Cloris Leachman è Frau Blücher. Una marea di gag, camei leggendari (Gene Hackman nel ruolo dell’eremita), Mel Brooks scopre per caso che lo sceneggiatore dei film di Whale, Gerald Hirschfeld, conservava ancora le scenografie originali, che furono usate nella stessa maniera dei film degli anni ‘30, compreso montaggio e riprese in bianco e nero. Gli Aerosmith riprendono una delle battute di Igor, Walk This Way, per farne un imperituro inno rock. Stracult!

Gli Inglesi - i Frankenstein degli Hammer Studios

La casa di produzione che diffuse i film horror negli anni ‘60 e ‘70. Peter Cushing è nei film di Terence Fischer il barone medico, che in ogni film diventa più cattivo e malefico, e le peripezie della creature fruttarono 7 film tra il 1957 e il 1974. Il più bello è Distruggete Frankenstein del 1969, con annessa scena di stupro, imposta dai produttore per rendere pruriginosa la storia (e del tutto inutile ai fini della sceneggiatura) con il mostro che è Freddy Jones, il padre di Elephant Man di David Lynch (prodotto da Mel Brooks).

Il Blaxploitaion

Nella leggendaria trilogia delle rivisitazioni black dei film, Blackenstein (1973) supera di molto per trash sia Blacula che il leggendario Abby, rivisitazione de L’Esorcista. Il mostro, il cui trucco fu curato da Ken Strickfaden, il truccatore dei Frankestein di Karloff, non fa paura per niente, ha la faccia molle e sembra un Arnold gigante. Il successo nullo della pellicola impedì la trilogia, dato che erano già pronti The Fall Of The House Of House Of Blackenstein e Blackenstein III.

Franco e Ciccio

Immancabile la rivisitazione del duo comico. Regia di Steno, titolo bizzarro, Un Mostro e Mezzo (1965), Ciccio Ingrassia è il dottore, Franco Franchi la cavia. Vuole diventare come Carlo Ponti, il famoso produttore, che è brutto, ma ha come moglie il suo idolo: Sofia Loren. Scena cult: quando dopo la creazione, Franco dice al dottore: Mi viene da ridere, mi ha fatto la faccia da fesso.

Il Trash

Non si sa ancora chi fu il regista di uno dei massimi trash movie di ogni tempo: Terror! Il Castello Delle Donne Maledette (1973). Ai più risulta Robert Oliver, regista americano dei b movie, per altri da Oscar Brazzi, che era sceneggiatore per i Bertolucci e famoso produttore, nonchè fratello del famoso attore italiano Rossano Brazzi. Che si macchia una grande carriera facendo il ruolo del Conte (non barone) Frankenstein, che produce mostri aiutato da una pattuglia di strani tipi, tra cui alcuni dei più grandi protagonisti del cinema di serie B: Gordon Mitchell come Igor, il nano vero Michael Dunn come gobbo Genz, che si mangia i pezzi degli esperimenti del Conte, Luciano Pigozzi (uno che ha recitato in 180 film!), Ciro Papa, qui battezzato Xiro Papas e anche produttore (Papa era di Torre Annunziata) ma soprattutto la creatura, che prende vita dai resti di un uomo di Neanderthal, il mitico Salvatore Baccaro, qui battezzato Boris Lugosi. Che nel film era così:

L’ultragore

Il Mostro È In Tavola... Barone Frankenstein (1973)

Uno dei film in 3D sulle vicende del famoso dottore, prodotto da Warhol, Carlo Ponti, girato da Paul Morrissey e da Antonio Margheriti per le riprese in 3D. Tonino Guerra è accreditato alla sceneggiatura, il film vede Udo Kier folle barone che crea un mostro donna, una giovane Dalila Di Lazzaro. Little Joe Dallessandro è il giovane aiutante, uno stalliere, ed era già passato alla storia per essere citato in Walk On The Wild Side di Lou Reed e, secondo la leggenda, di essere il modello del jeans nella copertina di Sticky Fingers dei Rolling Stones.  Penso sia introvabile la versione originale, quelle che si trovano oggi tagliano tutte le scene “macabre” ed erotiche.

Versione Giapponese

Furakenshutain Vs Baragon - Inoshiro Honda, 1965

I giapponesi rubano ai tedeschi durante la guerra un pazzo esperimento per creare un uomo invicibile. Però durante uno studio, la creatura viene bombordata da radiazioni, che lo fanno crescere a dismisura. Sul punto di essere distrutto, un gruppi di archeologi fa rinascere un mostro, Baragon (una specie di Godzilla con il naso a lampadina) e si decide di farsi aiutare dal gigante per sconfiggere il mostro. Grandissimo!

Sono super accette altre segnalazioni!

Week 4: Young Frankenstein 1974, Mel Brooks

Young Frankenstein is a comedy horror film directed by Mel Brooks and co-written by Gene Wilder. The film is about Dr. Frederick Frankenstein, a Physician working at an American medical school. He inherits his family estate in Transylvania after his great-grandfather passes, Frederick leaves to inspect the property.  When he arrives at the Transylvania train station, he is met by a hunchbacked servant named Igor, in which his grandfather worked for Fredericks grandfather. He is also greeted by a beautiful, young, female assistant named Inga. When he gets to the house Frederick is also met by Frau Blücher, the housekeeper. After he accidentally discovers a secret entrance to his great grand-fathers laboratory and reads the private journals he finds. Frederick then decides to resume his grandfather's experiments in re-animating the dead. Frankenstein and Igor steal the corpse of an executed criminal and send Igor to steal the brain of a deceased "scientist and saint", named Hans Delbrück. Igor drops and ruins the brain, taking a second brain labeled "Abnormal". Frederick then transplants it into the corpse, thinking he had put in Delbrück's brain. But that was not the case, Frankenstein then brings his creation to life by electrical charges. The townspeople are very suspicious of Frankenstein and keep an eye on him. It cost them $2.8 million to make and made $86.2 million in box office.

Young Frankenstein was given very high review by critics for example Roger Ebert say in his article of Young Frankenstein "It is, and Mel Brooks is home with "Young Frankenstein," his most disciplined and visually inventive film (it also happens to be very funny)" (Roger Ebert). He also says "Brooks revealed a rare comic anarchy. His movies weren’t just funny, they were aggressive and subversive, making us laugh even when we really should have been offended. (Explaining this process, Brooks once loftily declared, “My movies rise below vulgarity.”) “Young Frankenstein” is as funny as we expect a Mel Brooks comedy to be, but it’s more than that: It shows artistic growth and a more sure-handed control of the material by a director who once seemed willing to do literally anything for a laugh. It’s more confident and less breathless."(Roger Ebert) Which I agree with because it was super funny with its adult jokes and other interactions with the characters.

A few big historical events that were happening around the time the film came out was Richard Nixon becoming the first US president to become impeached because of the Watergate scandal. I also found the IRA began a bombing campaign on mainland Britain and they bombed the Tower of London and houses.

Overall the style of the film is old black and white with most of the clips I found to be grainy, but the movie was clear. I say it was a very successful comedy horror film from 1974 and it is conventional. It was written and directed by Mel Brooks, some of it was filmed in the University of Southern California, Los Angeles, it had famous stars such as Mel Brooks, Gene Wilder, Cloris Leachman, Marty Feldman, Teri Garr, and Gene Hackman, It made 30.8 times production budget, and it had its own Musical adaptation.

A few things I wanted to share that I found interesting or funny from the film was when Frankenstein's creation was dancing and singing to Puttin' On The Ritz's from the film and I also found one from the original Young Frankenstein musical I wanted to share. I wanted to share some funny bloopers from the making of the film too.

-D-

“Is this my life now,” I asked myself as I looked at what seemed like hundreds of red taillights on the highway in front of me.

Owning a horse barn isn’t what it’s cracked up to be. Like anything else in life, it isn’t always puppies and kittens. Again I was completing another circuit, just another boring drive to get a new clients horse ready to be relocated. I’d leave at dawn’s crack to put another hundred or more miles on my car before the sun sets. I should have probably gotten used to driving from Smithville via Elgin to Wimberley with stops in Bee Caves and Thrall.

I kept thinking about how late I could be today due to all tech nerds impeding my ability to drive by moving here to the Austin metro area. My foreman, Gallegos who was already there in Wimberley would wag his finger at me for being late.

“DIE YUPPIE SCUM,” I screamed over Englebert Humperdinck as he was droning on and on about a man without love. Ugh.

Finally we started to move forward and I was hoping to be able to drive today. Gallegos was a great help to me over the years and he’d always tell me if either the horse or the client were going to be good for me and the barn. He was always very intuitive about these things. The transplant from “The Big Valley” knew something about horses first and foremost, but when he’d meet the owner or rider, he’d give them the squinty eye and say something about how he felt, then he’d give a thumbs up or down. Gallegos is the best barometer ever.

Sigh. After all that traffic, I pulled into the driveway of the familiar barn. I spotted Gallegos’ truck parked next to fence. I parked next to him. As I was gathering my things, I noticed that he was making his way towards me. A huge faded white cowboy hat that had seen better days perched precariously on his head. Always dressed in a white shirt cuffed at the elbows, blue jeans and cowboy boots, this grizzled man was a great judge of character and not an ounce of fat on him. A tad thick but just pure muscle.

“Estoy hasta el moño,” Gallegos said as he stopped to open the gate. “You got a live one here,” he continued as he locked the gate behind him. He took a few more steps towards me before he stopped and readjusted his hat.

“The steed is a good horse for us, but the owner has a lot to learn about transportation. She wants to sedate him before he gets into the trailer. Not every horse has to be comatose to travel,” he said shaking his head.

I’ve been doing this for longer than I care to admit and hearing this razed my hackles.

“Who does she think she is,” I asked Gallegos. “I’m thinking she is the one who should be sedated.”

We stood there getting deeper into conversation as people and horses were walking around just beyond the fence. Indistinguishable chatter was heard coming from the direction of the barn.

“We will get this sorted out and if not we’ll have to get Frau Blücher to pay this crazy woman a visit,” Gallegos said with a grin.

“You’re naughty, Gallegos,” I shot back and stifled my laughter.

“Also I need to let you know that I’m going to have to go home tonight because my Tita isn’t doing well and she’s the last one for me.”

“I’m sorry to hear that. This is last one and I’m sure you have things in place,” I said feeling empathy for him and his family.

“Not sure how long I’ll be gone. She’s been dying for the past twenty years but I got my nephew, Derrick, to help you out while I’m gone,” he turned away from me and put two fingers in his mouth and whistled and bellowed, “Niño! Ven aqui!” Seconds later my eyes feasted on his nephew. Dayum y’all.

All of a sudden I had a dry mouth when I saw this tall drink of water. A lumbering man built like a brick silo came out and started towards us. Dark eyes, darker hair and his white shirt and blue jeans appeared to be airbrushed on his frame. He stepped out off the runway during Paris Fashion Week.

He just walked up the gate and looked at Gallegos and then me. I had no idea what they said to each other until I heard Melouk’s voice in my head, “The jam in my jelly roll.”

“Que Dios te lo pague con un buen novio,” I heard Gallegos say and that snapped me back to reality. He smiled at me and said, “My nephew, Derrick, here will be taking care of you and the barn while I’m away. I’m sure I told him about all the things that he should know about but you’ll tell him if something changes, right,” he said as he quietly touched my arm. We made eye contact.

Look here, I’m Gerta Haselberg Jorde Santino. I’m no second rate Diva who can’t sustain. I’m a well educated woman from old money and has ancestry touching on The Rothschilds. I’m a married woman and I truly love my husband to the nth degree but I’m looking at Rodin’s “The Thinker” leaning on the fence just over there.

“Howdy, Miss Santino. A pleasure to meet you and I’ll be there tomorrow morning,” his baritone voice said. “I need to get back to work now.” Derrick’s hand waved in our general direction and I watched those two ripe melons stroll away from us. Painted on.

“GERTA!! Darling, you’re here. Gallegos I wondered where you scurried off to and I find you keeping her from me,” the shrewish shrill voice of Bonnie Oliphant boomed across the paddock. If you know how tempered glass crackles into millions of pieces but doesn’t actually shatter, yeah, pretty much that’s Bonnie’s voice.

Derrick was gone. Gallegos rolled his eyes at me and walked away as Bonnie walked right past him without taking her gaze off me. She has smile that looks like she took two straight pins and put them on either side of her mouth. Ugh.

We did this “Bro Hug” thing that was so disingenuous you could have seen it from the training flight window of The Vomit Comet.

“Katy Lynn Hargreaves is out of her dayum mind if she thinks she’s going to sedate Linus just to bring him across town,” she said flatly. “I’m not having it. Now, all I need you to is back me up on this,” she finished and with a flourish, she waved me in the general direction of Katy Lynn. Ugh.

After several five minute conversations with Bonnie, Katy Lynn, Gallegos and me, Linus is going to be absolutely sober before, during and after being transported to my barn. The next thing I knew heading back to Smithville. I slowed down to a stop and noticed that I needed to clean my boots off again. This what I get for mucking around a barn.

“I’m Gerta and I have a thing for horses. It’s been 17 plus years now since I first smelled wet baby poo like mud and fresh manure.” The idiotic thoughts I can come up with in moments of panic and it made think of what I didn’t say to Katy Lynn about Linus.

Melouk sent me a meme once and it’s about horses. I wanted to scream the words in Katy Lynn’s face, “If I ever owned a race horse, I’d name it, ‘My Face.’ Then when fans cheer for it they’ll scream, ‘Come on My Face!!’ but in your case, impotence reigns supreme.” That’s rude, crude, lewd and socially unacceptable. I digress.

Derrick is standing in front of me with his hands in pockets of those airbrushed blue jeans. He was looking down at first then he looked right through me.

“Miss Santino, I went to take a look at the irrigation system like Gallegos said to do and I did. I’m going to have to lay down some new pipe,” he said in quiet tone of voice and scuffed one boot on the floor.
