i watched the phantom of the opera (2004) for the first time and i don’t think i’ll mentally be okay for the next week—
“If I am the Phantom, it is because man’s hatred has made me so.”
- Phantom of the Opera, Gaston Leroux

🎥 The Phantom of The Opera (2004).
🎶 Monolith, Twin Tribes.
I’m reading the Le Fantôme de L'Ôpéra. Here are some highlights of my Kindle highlights:
The correct translation is actually something like 'she was reading a book with gold edging,' tranche meaning both 'edge (of a book)' and 'rasher (of bacon.)'
(As a walking, talking dictionary, I am morally obliged to mention that the translation is actually ‘dandies’ not 'gentlemen.')
You can probably guess that the last word means ‘unmask.’ And we all know how well that goes down with Erik.
Poor Persian, though.
This segment was cut out of De Mattos's English translation, so I don't have an explanation for this. (See replies for Vlad's traslation!)
Being a Goth has really improved my French. First I kept writing French captions for my Interview with the Vampurr comics (examples here and here), and now I'm reading a French classic despite only understanding around 1 word in 5.
he was really made for this role 🎭
