sound of hormone overload
Mar. 15th, 2009 04:05 pmI've never seen this version of Wuthering Heights before. Ralph Fiennes FTW. *dies, oh just dies *
However what deadbeat came up with Juliette Binoche as Cathy? Some mad person. She's about as passionate as roadkill. And that accent? Gah! It's not my favourite book at all - it should have ended
when Cathy died. The rest of it is entirely superfluous imho. To me to seems to be how to create the heart of the book in the middle and then go on. Oh, I see that people will say it's a journey blah blah and showing how Heathcliff suffers and destroys all in his path, but it's unsatisfying. I didn't care enough for Cathy and Hareton and making theirs the happy ending didn't impress me. The happy ending for me was Heathcliff's death and the talk of their ghosts being reunited. eta: oh way to go to ruin the book with a half-hearted death bed scene - that should be full of fury and hate and love, not the namby pamby stupidity. Dear Lord.
I've also discovered Entourage, recommended by a RL friend - and after four episodes and thoroughly enjoying it.
Lucius went out at 10pm last night and has not returned. Ho hum. I dare say he'll have some excuse when he returns. Aliens, or pirates this time, I'll wager.
