Summary

It’s a sign of our times when a movie is so sexually immoral that even reading reviews of it can veer toward the pornographic. But such is the case with Wuthering Heights, the film adaptation of the Emily Brontë novel that was released Friday to a very mixed reception. To switch “art” forms: the latest Sports Illustrated “Swimsuit Edition” is out. This year’s edition does something new, however: it features six wives and girlfriends of prominent NFL players. Today, we discuss how the enemy normalizes sin, especially sexual immorality, in today’s culture.

of the Emily Bronte novel that was released Friday to a very mixed reception. One reviewer

calls the film an abomination. Another calls it an insult to the novel's characters and describes its sex scenes as, quote, truly exhausting. The New Yorker portrays some of these scenes in ways I will not reproduce here and hope you won't read. To switch quote unquote art forms, latest Sports Illustrated swimsuit edition is out.

The magazine has been doing this since 1964, sometimes in nearly pornographic ways.
