Lightsabers and chips

To say I liked Danny Boyle's "liberal adaptation of Frankenstein" would be an understatement. I thought it was pretty phenomenal. Lots of people have written more fluently than I can about the setting, the language, the staging, the acting, the effective intimacy of it, so I'm going to restrain myself to the most important part for me - the storytelling. (This is not to say that I didn't appreciate the acting - Messers Miller and Cumberbatch were equally wonderful. Once I've seen the screening with the roles reversed I suspect I will have more to say on that front).
