- [questioning Christopher Frayling's reliability in print and audio] I've done a lot more audio commentaries than he has, and I'm fullashittt [sic] half the time. That's not much of a criterion.
- Anyone who repeatedly says, "Believe me. Bee-LEEEVE MEEE!!!" [sic] -- blowin' smoke. There are certain politicians who have this Tell. And yet, people belieeeeeve [sic] them.
- [ranting about Christopher Frayling's original discovery ref. Jack P. Pierce's monster makeup in Frankenstein (1931) being directly inspired by the 1799 Los Chinchillas Goya drawing] "Toyed with the the idea of a robot"? And this is based on... what-- the 6-pack of pulp drawings? My, my. "Steel bolt through the neck"? Oh, do come along, dear boy. "Beautiful but scary creature"? Oh, dear dear dear, Chris, you've watched that TV movie far too many times. "Beautiful"? Do check your Shelley, dear boy. Frankenstein uses that very word in horror and revulsion at his own initial joy at it being alive, with a question mark, no less, when he first lays eyes upon it. "Beautiful? Good God!" I believe is the complete quote, if memory serves. It's called dramatic irony, old chap. Fustian, I'm afraid.
