Define "Irony." Saw this on a FB page dedicated to AI prompts.

Once in a while, a story and a director are so perfectly matched that you wonder why it never happened sooner. This is Guillermo del Toro's Frankenstein. Elordi and Isaac are brilliant. It is perfect. If you ever loved monster movies, this is it. The magnum opus. @realgdt.bsky.social

I really want to see Mickey 17 but years of Kingdom Hearts related trauma is making me think I’ll miss the full story if I go without seeing 1-16 and the mobile game only available in South Korea convenience stores from one month in 2017 called MicKEY 13.5

I died again. It's pretty common when you play villains. As a VA (or any actor), you try to remember that every villain is the hero of their own story. But sometimes you're playing such a despicable character that you can't help but be delighted with that villain's death. I died. It was great!
