"Lisa Frankenstein": A Darkly Comedic Tale of Love, Loss, and Unconventional Romance

 

"Lisa Frankenstein" is a 2024 American comedy horror film that marries the macabre with humor, weaving a tale of unlikely love and unexpected consequences. Directed by Zelda Williams in her feature-length directorial debut and penned by Diablo Cody, this eccentric film stars Kathryn Newton, Cole Sprouse, Liza Soberano, and a talented ensemble cast.

 

Set in 1989 in the quaint town of Brightsville, the story revolves around Lisa Swallows (Kathryn Newton), a misunderstood teenage goth girl grappling with the aftermath of her mother's tragic murder. Lisa's life takes a bizarre turn when she encounters a forgotten blueprint for a machine that can bring inanimate objects to life, leading to the resurrection of a Victorian-era corpse (Cole Sprouse) struck by green lightning.

As Lisa navigates the challenges of her dysfunctional family and the peculiarities of her newly reanimated companion, she finds herself drawn to the Creature despite his nonverbal nature and missing body parts. Their bond deepens as they embark on a series of unconventional experiments to improve the Creature's appearance and integrate him into society.

However, their newfound happiness is threatened when Lisa's stepsister Taffy (Liza Soberano) becomes entangled in their escapades, and the police begin to investigate a string of mysterious disappearances. As secrets unravel and tensions escalate, Lisa must confront the consequences of her actions and decide the fate of her unconventional romance.

 

"Lisa Frankenstein" is a genre-defying film that deftly blends elements of horror, comedy, and romance to create a unique and entertaining cinematic experience. With its quirky characters, dark humor, and unexpected twists, the film offers a fresh take on the classic Frankenstein tale while exploring themes of love, acceptance, and the complexities of human relationships.

Released in the United States by Focus Features on February 9, 2024, "Lisa Frankenstein" received mixed reviews from critics. While some praised its inventive premise and standout performances, others criticized its pacing and tonal inconsistencies. Despite its polarizing reception, the film's visual aesthetic and nostalgic '80s vibe have resonated with audiences, making it a cult favorite among fans of offbeat cinema.

In the end, "Lisa Frankenstein" is more than just a quirky horror-comedy; it's a celebration of embracing one's differences, finding love in unexpected places, and daring to defy societal norms. With its blend of humor, heart, and horror, this unconventional tale reminds us that true beauty lies not in perfection, but in embracing the flaws that make us uniquely human.

Nabuko na Modus Operandi ni Francis Leo Marcos ayon kay Xian Gaza

Karaniwang naiisip ng mga Netizen na ang dahilan ng pamimigay ng bigas ni Norman Mangusin aka Francis Leo Marcors (FLM) ay upang maging popular ng sa gayon sa susunod na eleksiyon ay may tyansa na siyang matanggap ng COMELEC sa pagkakandidato at maaring manalo dahil sa dami ng supporters.

May paniniwala din na gamit ang FB videos at Youtube ay kumikita siya sa views ng ads sa kanyang mga video.

Matatandaang dati na po siyang tumakbo bilang senador ngunit nireject ng comelec dahil isa daw itong nuisance candidate.

Ayon kay Xian Gaza, hindi ito ang ang dahilan kung bakit siya namamahagi ng bigas. Ito lamang ay pamamaraan para makakuha ng tiwala at maging popular dahil sa mga plano nilang modus.

Mayroong sindikato umano sa likod ng modus ng pagpapasikat kay FLM. Si FLM ay ginamit lang nilang front. Marahil ay nakakagulat din ang bilis ng pagsikat ni FLM sa Social Media. Ito umano ay sa kadahilanang nagbabayad sila sa may ari ng mga DDS FB Group sa halagang ₱220,000.00 monthly upang mabilis na sumikat. Ang mga DDS daw kasi ay madaling mapaniwala o makuha ang simpatiya. Ay mga DDS daw umano ay parang mga kulto na sumasamba sa kanilang idolo at pag nakuha mo ang tiwala ay forever nang magiging panatiko at handang ipagtangol ang idolo.

Ang mga truck ng bigas umano ay mga props lamang at inuupahan lang sa halanga ₱3,000.00 to ₱3,500.00. Pati ang tonetoneladang bigas din daw ay mga props lang upang magamit sa propaganda niyang isa siyang Pilantropo. Kaunti lamang umano ang pinamamahagi sa mga bigas na ito.

Ang modus ay tumanggap ng donasyon mula sa mga OFW at mga taong gusto ding tumulong dahil sa mayaman chalenge. Ito ang plano kung paano sila kukubra ng milyon milyon.

Amazing Fact: The Worlds Youngest Mother

 

Lina Medina (born September 27, 1933, in Ticrapo, Huancavelica Region, Peru) is the youngest confirmed mother in medical history, giving birth at the age of five years, seven months and 17 days. She presently lives in Lima, the capital of Peru.

Born in Ticrapo, Peru, to silversmith Tiburelo Medina and Victoria Losea, Medina was brought to a hospital by her parents at the age of five years due to increasing abdominal size.

She was originally thought to have had a tumor, but her doctors determined she was in her seventh month of pregnancy. Dr. Gerardo Lozada took her to Lima, Peru, to have other specialists confirm that Medina was pregnant.

Contemporary newspaper accounts indicate that interest in the case developed on many fronts. The San Antonio Light newspaper reported in its July 16, 1939, edition—in anticipation of the girl's expected visit to U.S. university scientific facilities—that a national Peruvian obstetrician/midwife association had demanded that the girl be transported to a national maternity hospital; the paper quoted April 18 reports in the Peruvian paper La Crónica stating that a North American filmmaking concern sent a representative "with authority to offer the sum of $5000 to benefit the minor [in exchange for filming rights] ... we know that the offer was rejected.

"The same article, reprinted from a Chicago paper, noted that Lozada had made films of Medina for scientific documentation and had shown them around April 21 while addressing Peru's National Academy of Medicine; on a subsequent visit to visit Lina's remote hometown, some of the baggage carrying the films had been dropped into the river while crossing "a very primitive bridge": "Enough of his pictorial record remained, however, to intrigue the learned savants."

A month and a half after the original diagnosis, on May 14, 1939, Medina gave birth to a boy by a caesarean section necessitated by her small pelvis.

The surgery was performed by Lozada and Dr. Busalleu, with Dr. Colareta providing anaesthesia. Her case was reported in detail by Dr. Edmundo Escomel in the medical journal La Presse Médicale, including the additional details that hermenarche had occurred at eight months of age, in contrast to a past report stating that she had been having regular periods since she was three years old (or 2½ according to a different article). 

The report also detailed that she had prominent breast development by the age of four. By age five, her figure displayed pelvic widening and advanced bone maturation. When doctors performed the caesarean to deliver her baby, they found she already had fully mature sexual organs from precocious puberty.

Medina's son weighed 2.7 kg (6.0 lb; 0.43 st) at birth and was named Gerardo after her doctor. Gerardo was raised believing that Medina was his sister, but found out at the age of 10 that she was his mother. He grew up healthy but died in 1979 at the age of 40 of a bone marrow disease.
