Have read the synopsis of the film and it sounds tit, really misses the poignant aspects of the story and the warped relationships in favour of sexual degeneracy. Just write your own story, don't tar someone else's work with your crappy stick.

I wasn't aware this was an unpopular opinion until recently but I (usually) love film editions of books
I have Jane Eyre (2011), P&P (2005) and Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy (2011) editions, among others. And I want one for the new Running Man.
That "Wuthering Heights" rit can get in the bin though.
Yes. I get smug vibes from Fennell but also Margot. I don't get the appeal.
I dislike WH the book, but also respect the Brontes.
Finished The Gathering by C J Tudor. A solid 4 
Reminded me of 30 Days of Night. Mostly because of the vampires and being set in Alaska and snow lol!
Next read is Aphrodite by Phoenicia Rogerson

Emerald Fennel I feel is of the opinion that the more bizarre, sexual and outrageous her adaptation, more publicity it will create. It works for her. We are all talking about it like Saltburn.
A big thanks to those on these threads who mentioned The Correspondent. I just devoured it
this afternoon - what a book. A lot of emotions explored and well written

I went to see WH yesterday and it was even worse than I expected it to be. I’m not a big fan of the book but the film just missed at everything, it was terribly boring and just felt like a showcase of Margot in some nice outfits for the first 2 hours as nothing happened. The charli xcx soundtrack didn’t work either, the sex scenes were trying to be edgy and racy and were as hot as a winters day in the UK but that’s probably because there was absolutely no chemistry between the leads. Also a mid-30s woman playing the role of what came across a bratty, spoiled teenager was just…weird. The whole film was trying so hard to be something it absolutely wasn’t. I could go on but I left feeling embarrassed for all involved
I’m #3 on the reserve list at mine and I’m so impatient !
beautiful book! i’m still thinking about it - i think i said here that a main plot point is one of my triggers but i’m glad i listened to the lovely people here and pushed through as even THAT was handled with so much care even if it did mean that i will never read it again. it was so wonderfully put together.A big thanks to those on these threads who mentioned The Correspondent.

I’m going to see it tomorrow.. will report back!same! has anyone here seen it yet? because i see all this outrage but i want to hear from someone who’s watched it🫣
tbh wuthering heights is a beautifully unhinged book so i’m not entirely horrified by someone going full ham on an adaptation. emerald fennell’s films are just usually a bit too pleased with themselves though. my issue with all wuthering heights adaptations is that they forgo the last half of the book, which is the most interesting part, AND leave out the tree headbutting, which is my favourite part 🥲
Started this yesterday! Only a few pages in thoughA big thanks to those on these threads who mentioned The Correspondent. I just devoured it

please do!!! i’m seeing stuff online and i am MAD on behalf of isabella already
(also intrigued that she had a perfect heathcliff and cathy right there and cast them as the linton siblings instead).
Wuthering heights appears to be 14p on kindle today if anyone’s interested.
My book club is one where an honest negative review would be fine. Which is great. I think it'd be a bit boring if everyone is expected to only say nice things about a book!Are any of you in bookclubs? How honest are you if the book isn’t good. Maybe I’m too honest and should let things go and say ‘yeah, nice, good’ Got the feeling in my last meeting that my negative reviews aren’t appreciated
My Dad is in one with a bunch of other men around 70 and from the sounds of it most of the time at least half of them hate the book
It's free on Project Gutenberg
Sex sells, more than ever it would seem. The 50 Shades stuff is objectively awful in terms of writing and the films awful with writing and acting but the creator has made silly money out of them.
Maybe I will try to write the next big steamy novel!
50 Shades was a Twilight fanfic originally: at the height of Twilight-mania they rejacketed Wuthering Heights with a "Bella & Edward's favourite book!" sticker. There's some sort of lesson in all this, I feel. Maybe it's "write crappy characters who are objectively awful people = ££££"Sex sells, more than ever it would seem.

I remember seeing if I could find an archived version of it - I think it was called Master of the Universe (this just makes me think of He-Man and I laugh) but I think it's been scrubbed off of the internet?Heated Rivarly started as fanfic - a Steve/Bucky one, I think, but I enjoyed that, the tv show anyway. I've not read the Game Changers books but I will seek them out at some point.
There's quite a few "serial numbers filed off" fanfictions that have been turned into published works and/or tv shows and films.
