husband forcing us to watch the new "wuthering heights" movie has me sighing in disgust every two minutes

00:15

Why extra servants but no Hindley. Why does Joseph get to exist? Why Zillah? She's not even in the first generation.

I don’t understand.

00:27

Why does Nelly get to be Asian but Heathcliff didn’t get to be black!

Why is EDGAR brown but not HEATHCLIFF!

WHY! WHY!

(husband cackling next to me)

00:36

Atmosphere and soundtrack decent at least. It's a very aesthetic movie. Almost makes it worse, because THE POTENTIAL.

00:37

JOSEPH AND ZILLAH HERE JUST SO THEY CAN BANG? WTF YO

00:43

Can't believe they're making this a tragic thing with Cathy needing to marry for money. How dare they.

00:51

The costumes tho

1:05

What's with the eggs

They’ve made Isabella a joke. Good lord.

Husband just glanced at my look of disgust and asked, “What’s wrong??”
With a smirk.

1:08

"We must not get the mopes."

I shall use this from now on.

1:09

FUCKING ISABELLA GOOD LORD OH MY GOD

(husband cackling)

1:16

Heathcliff's anger is hollow because of how they've set it up. Very disappointing. Stripping Heathcliff of what made him so rageful to nothing but a rejected love is criminal.

1:27

The way they fucked up every character

1:29

Oh really Cathy? NOW your conscience says you can’t cheat on your husband? 😒

1:34

Husband kept wondering why Nelly’s in this movie at all when there’s no Lockwood, but I guess they put her in just to be a villain.

So rude.

1:35

Husband: What is this movie

Me: YOU WANTED TO WATCH IT

1:38

Husband: (laughing)

Me: (disgusted look)

Husband: AHAHA IT’S SO DUMB

1:43

Really? Gonna break up twice? Fucking ridiculous

1:49

There’s no buildup to Heathcliff’s unhinged behaviour just because of another rejection.

Makes no sense.

1:50

Isabella writing her letter to Nelly on Heathcliff's behalf is just—

For Cathy's attention

what the actual fuck

1:53

Cathy demanding to be called "Mrs. Heathcliff" is insane.

She DUMPED him. TWICE.

The absolute gall.

1:57

Husband: This is so boring.

...........

2:01

This movie did Nelly so dirty.

2:05

So dramatic but not in the way Wuthering Heights should have been dramatic.

Also, why is Edgar ok with Heathcliff all of a sudden? Make it make sense.

2:08

Not feeling these classic lines from Jacob Elordi, sorry.

END

We survived!

Husband: How did they make it so boring?

Me: How did they manage to ruin actually everything?

Conclusion: We didn’t expect it to be great, but at least interesting (per Husband), but it was shallow erotica dressed up in pretty aesthetics and fancy costumes.
