MARY W. SHELLEY

He sprang from the cabin window as he said this, upon the ice raft which lay close to the vessel. He was soon borne away by the waves and lost in darkness and distance.

[handwritten in pen]
As he drifted away I could just make out his final words.
"It's okay if you just call me' Frankenstein' instead of 'Frankenstein's Monster.
I really don't mind."

The end

So sad today. I have long said that Rob Reiner didn't get the credit he deserved. He made 7 amazing films in 8 years (1984-1992) and each one of them was a different genre. That puts him up there with Spielberg for me.

When a law enforcement officer aims a weapon at someone wielding a camera, it is procedurally unsound and unprofessional in two fundamental ways: 1) It is disproportional to any actual threat and is instead an unprovoked threat against a citizen. 2) The officer is a crazed, untrained asshole.
