Dear God above and heaven help me, angels and ministers of grace defend us, my friends,

for lo and behold, I have returneth this evening from seeing the new horniest fairy tale I have ever seen in my life,

having read the book, of course, many years ago,

in my course on the rise of the novel, in my English degree, I have returned from Wuthering Heights.

A movie that is so true to the original, it makes Kate Bush sound like she's singing Old Man River.

Oh my God above this movie.

Now, race-blind casting only seems to affect European stories, European history,

and it's all horrendous and wretched, very cliched right so there's going to be

a spoiler or two here and I'm happy to take your questions and comments and so on but I was curious

because I haven't gone to see a movie in theaters for a while so I thought I would give Wuthering Heights

a try I do like a good historical drama.

One of my favorite movies is Em Forster's, well, the adaptation of E.M. Forster's Room with a View.

And so I thought I would go and see this.

And it has a sort of Dickensian primitiveness to it.

It has very, very vivid colors.

Some of the cinematography and set pieces are fine.

Apparently, I guess what's set place in England or Scotland,

at least in the movie, looks like the Moors,

where it never, there's no sunshine, not one glimmer of sunshine in the entire movie.

And it is to me so unbelievable that you have blacks and Asians and an Indian guy scattered

all throughout the British Isles in what, the 19th, 18th century, whenever it's set.

Oh, God Almighty. It's just painful,

...
