hello fellow invisible man fan!! :D it’s awesome to find more fans of the movie on here- do you have a fav quote of griffin’s or scene from the 1933 movie :0
HI. OH MY GOD. I'M SO GLAD THERE ARE MORE IT'S SO NICE. It definitely feels like there's not enough of him anywhere, which might be a little bit of a bias but also... where is he. Why is there so much merch for everyone else and then Jack gets forgotten. Little guy d:(
GOOD NEWS. SORT OF. BAD NEWS: I LIKE A LOT. He's just so silly and then so... you know. In no particular order:
I love his "here we go gathering nuts in May" moment. I so desperately wish there was footage of Claude Rains doing it where we can actually see him, even if it's just him recording the lines and not doing the skipping, because I think it would be delightful
Similarly, I love the part after he's robbed the bank and he's going "There you are! A present from the Invisible Man! Money! Money! Money! Money! Ups and down the city road, in and out the eagle, that's the way the money goes, pop goes the weasel!" (then proceeds to just repeat "money" over and over again). Again, I desperately wish we had a recording of Claude Rains where we could see him, even if it's just him doing the lines
The whole bit where, to show how far gone and stressed Jack is, he says 'damn' under his breath
It seems like everyone likes the "Power, I said! Power to walk into the gold vaults of the nations, into the secrets of kinds, into the Holy of Holies; power to make multitudes run squealing in terror at the touch of my little invisible finger. Even the moon's frightened of me, frightened to death! The whole world's frightened to death!", but... it is good, even if it gets most of the attention.
Same for when he's talking to Kemp and goes "We'll begin with a reign of terror, a few murders here and there, murders of great men, murders of little men--well, just to show we make no distinction. I might even wreck a train or two--just these fingers around a signalman's throat, that's all." It's very popular and also... just very good at showing his state at the moment!
"You've driven me to near madness with your peering through the keyholes and gaping through the curtains, and now you'll suffer for it! You're crazy to know who I am, aren't you? Alright! I'll show you! There's a souvenir for you, and one for you! I'll show you who I am--and WHAT I am!" it's just so funny. He really does just start stripping. And it WORKS.
The whole bit where he's like "I've no time now but, believe me, as surely as the moon will set and the sun will rise, I shall kill you tomorrow night. I shall kill you even if you hide in the deepest cafe of the Earth. At ten o'clock tomorrow night, I shall kill you!" I don't know why I'm so obsessed with this but. Yeah! Sounds about right, Jack! This sounds like the kind of threat I'd say in an absurd voice to, like, my cat
And then the whole "I hope your car's insured, Kemp. I'm afraid there's going to be a nasty accident in a minute. A very nasty accident... You will? That's fine. Just sit where you are. I'll get out and take the handbrake off and give you a little shove to help you on. You'll run gently down and through the railings, then you'll have a big thrill for a hundred yards or so 'til you hit a boulder, then you'll do a somersault and probably break your arms, then a grand finish up with a broken neck! Well, goodbye, Kemp. I always said you were a dirty little coward. You're a dirty, sneaking little rat as well. Goodbye." He'd do so well as a Doofenshmirtz-type villain that has wacky monologues but doesn't actually die. I'd pay money to watch a TV show where he got to do that, actually
I also really like when he realizes Kemp is in the study (HE'S SO MUCH LIKE MY CAT THERE FOR REAL). Messing with the door and the little step in. I love it. And leading into when he realizes there's a car coming and is like "oh. you called the cops." before Kemp explains that it's Flora and Doctor Cranley. And he goes calm like a cat being held by the scruff of his neck.
"We are partners. Bosom friends!" said so ominously. Beautiful line delivery. No notes.
"Here's your blooming bicycle."
"Don't stare at me, you fool. Look in front of you. Come on! Get a move on!
"Had to take some exercise to keep warm. Killed a stupid little policeman. Smashed his head in."
Him getting all comfy for bed. Taking off the sunglasses and the robe and bandages and just being a CREATURE. I don't know why--I really like the practical effects in the movie, and this really shows it well, I guess! Also the little tiny bounce on the bed that he does there is really fun
Honestly I think this entire movie is just an absolute gem. I adore it so much
