I’ve been wondering the same thing since I heard about it. News articles were like “we had to remove some of the black vomit.” Who wants this?

It honestly feels like hubris from everyone involved, but I imagine eventually it will find an audience and they’ll pretend it was a cult hit all along.

I also hadn’t seen that the poster says “Here comes the mother f*%#ing bride!” Which is quite cringey. Hello fellow kids!

Is Hot Topic selling merch, by any chance? Edit: No! They really thought this was a movie for adults??

The first article I saw about it was quite recently too: “Frankenstein Couldn't ‘Lick Black Vomit Off The Bride’s Neck’ And Other Wild Studio Notes Maggie Gyllenhaal Received.”

It genuinely just sounds like a spoiled Hollywood baby getting to do their silly dream project:

I loved working with Pam Abdy, who runs Warner Bros. with Mike De Luca. She understood me and understood what I was saying. And there would be times where she would be like: ‘Maggie, you cannot have Frankenstein lick black vomit off the Bride’s neck. It’s just too much.’

It’s telling that it could have been worse. Ma’am, you are 48 years old, why do you sound like a high schooler?

I didn't even see that poster quote - Oof. It does seem like hubris from the folks involved.
