"Wuthering Heights" - i actually said "Emerald Fennell needs to stop making films" to my friend as we walked out
fun question: what’s the maddest you’ve ever been leaving a movie theater? not necessarily worst movie you’ve seen, but the one that just pissed you off the most. mine is Batman v Superman

Seeing people equate "Wuthering Heights" to Nosferstu or Romeo+Juliet is going to make me put my face in a blender

I regularly see people wondering how it's possible that there are so many musicians and writers and film makers and artists from a tiny nation like Iceland.
And the answer is really simple: State funding for art education and artists. I literally get a salary from the government to write books.

I’m constantly astounded at the sheer level of artistic production coming out of Iceland. Novels, movies, music. Amazing.

It goes a long way to message a critic if their review resonates with you.
I felt really proud of my A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms Episode 5 recap - and it makes me happy to know the show is hitting people like its hitting me.

Today @lataco.bsky.social launched a fundraiser to help me start their investigative news desk. We're hoping to raise $25k to help pay for lab tests, analyze ICE data that the Daily Memo's been compiling + work with more freelancers. Been dreaming of this for years!

A Magic the Gathering set should be judged on its own merits, and TMNT is looking much better than many players thought.

KATE!!!!!! You are in my head with this last line! Her disdain for POC is palpable and I want people to stop lying about it and her! It’s in the work clear as day! Vile work
Wuthering Heights is a dense story of two people's love turning cruel and then destroying all around them. Emerald Fennell made should have just made an AO3 account. Not to mention that she "can't imagine" Heathcliff as Black and the casted two actors of color as character she rewrote into villains.

The more I think about it the more I am bothered because they are marketing Wuthering Heights as "the greatest love story of all time" because they have mangled and flattened anything complex about that story to fit fanfic tik tok brain rot.
A reminder that I hate "Wuthering Heights" and using a complex story of obsession, abuse, and class to tell a bodice ripper when you could have just written an original story is so stupid.
Also Emerald Fennell's rendition is absolutely racist in the way she casts her characters and the villains.
