This is not an adaptation of #WutheringHeights, but the result of what happens when you're playing an approximation of "Wuthering Heights" without a full grasp on the material but all the money in the world to bring your questionable imagination to life.

Every instance of "AI democratizes the arts, you're classist and ableist and a gatekeeper for trying to stop it" is a slap in the face to the literally centuries of poor, disabled people making art on the margins and a crass lie in service of a machine that strips down and regurgitates dreams

I'm really glad that my wife's latest hyperfixation (boats/ships) joined forces with her evergreen love of hating Nazis to bring this movie to The Matts™.
Do we need exploitation cinema to remind us of half-forgotten, real-life horrors? That’s the big question in this week’s episode with @harmonycolangelo.bsky.social, who joins the podcast to talk about ghost Nazis and DEATH SHIP.
Podcast: Harmony Colangelo on 'Death Ship' - Certified Forgotten
Harmony Colangelo joins Certified Forgotten to discuss Alvin Rakoff's 'Death Ship,' a Nazi-sploitation feature with surprisingly sharp teeth.

Claiming “just don’t use AI is a luxury position" is one of the most ludicrous things I've ever read on this site, because no defense of AI as a tool for democratization changes the fact that data centers are destroying low-income areas. Where's your class solidarity now?

The tech giants are jostling to win the AI race. But their data centers are hugely energy-hungry, and that means polluting frontline Black and Brown communities. We demand a better way forward.

Alexander Skarsgard's Pillion Is Already 2026's Most Subversive Movie Thanks To One Decision - SlashFilm
Pillion is charming, romantic, and emotionally restrained, rejecting moral panic and the shallow belief that explicitness is the only route to honesty.

I love it when I'm interviewing someone and they can tell I'm asking a question rooted in experience, so instead of talking to me like they have to educate, they immediately use "we're" or "people like us" in their answer. 🥰🥰🥰

Not to mention the fact the algorithm punishes us if we're not deemed hot enough!!!
One thing about the enormous pressure journalists are under to make videos and TikToks and do streams that kills me is that, like… some of us are meant to be read and not seen. Commenters get SO MAD about the way I look whenever my face breaches containment! Just let me write!

If you ignore the source material, Emerald Fennell's #WutheringHeights is a sight to behold. Luscious visuals and fantastic performances (especially Alison Oliver) provide a sensual, cinematic feast, but if you're familiar with Brontë's novel, you may be yearning for more.

In a room full of critics for a screening and I’ve already heard one person say they turned off SINNERS after 20 mins and another dismiss HEATED RIVALRY for looking “nasty.” I am in hell.
