Some of my favourite reviews of the new Wuthering Heights film. Probably a thread.

“Emily Brontë died of tuberculosis 177 years ago yet this adaptation is still the worst thing that had ever happened to her.”

“Emerald Fennell is to movies what Coleen Hoover is to literature.”

Farage saying that 1million people in Britain don’t speak English- even if that were true (which it isn’t)… so what? Who cares? I wonder how he feels when he visits Gwynedd & finds that we don’t speak much English either- and we’re genealogically more British than he’ll ever be.

An ex of mine died from the same cancer less than 2 weeks ago. It’s not accurate to call him an ex, actually- he’d long since graduated to lifelong friend. He was only 44. Fuck cancer.

Oh, no. Her delivery of one line in Beetlejuice is my favourite single line delivery of all time: "If you don't let me gut out this house and make it my own, I will go insane, AND I WILL TAKE YOU WITH ME." Amazing comic actress. One of the best.
RIP to the icon, Catherine O'Hara.

With student loans in the news I decided to check my balance. In 2017- as far back as my statements go- my debt was £25,004.23. As of right now, the balance is £30,066.01. I’ve been paying it back directly from my salary ever since I graduated in 2012, and somehow it’s still grown by £5k.

I just heard a teenager refer to the 1990s as “the late 1900s”.

I feel like an antique.

I’ve never hated anyone as much as I hate Nigel Farage. I hate him so much it motivates me to get out of bed in the morning, just so I can spend another day hating him some more.

I would be very surprised if a full accounting in the future didn't reveal more than one mass grave at the detention centers. If they're behaving this way in public, what's happening out of sight must be many times more brutal.
Imagine what’s happening in the camps.
Imagine how much they’d be lying about what happened without all the videos showing it from multiple angles.

Jesus. Everyone in The White Lotus is insufferable. I hate almost all of them but somehow it’s still relentlessly watchable. I should have been in bed hours ago but here I am, square-eyed and 5 episodes in.

The word he uses is ‘obligation’ but what he really means is ‘incentive’.
He's demanding control over a sovereign nation because they didn't give him THE NOBEL PRIZE. Why the actual fuck do we have a 25th Amendment?

Nothing says pathetic fragile crook quite like orange felon accepting someone else’s Nobel Peace Prize and nothing says disgraceful fraud quite like Machado gifting her Nobel Peace Prize to a murderous tyrant like him for power. I hope the Nobel Committee strips it from her.

I’ve just learned something about alligators that’s completely blown my noodle: they’re capable of tool use. They place sticks on their heads during nesting season to lure birds. What?!

Does Nobel have other prizes for carrots and potatoes, or is it just peas?
