This is also being done with Roald Dahl, Ian Fleming, even Ursula K. Le Guin. It’s not right, and it should stop. It doesn’t matter if it’s a pop novel, a great work of the Western canon, or anything else — this should not be done. It breaks trust.

Started reading Pretty Little Liars (originally published in 2006) and I’m five pages in and they’ve updated it to include a TikTok reference…do I DNF?

@mokathethird am 100% convinced it was intentionally made as a ragebait parody to get people talking on social media because how else could it be so bad?

@MorriganReading the anti-intellectualism is so bad that you can't even write basic plot summaries anymore 😭

We're never told what “business” Mr. Earnshaw has gone to Liverpool on, and the only glimpse we have into Mr. and Mrs. Earnshaw’s relationship is their opposite attitudes towards Heathcliff, so it is plausible Mr. Earnshaw may have fathered him with a Roma, black, or otherwise non-white woman in Liverpool (at the time, Europe’s largest slave-trading port), then gone to collect him upon the mother’s death, which would parallel Heathcliff later bringing home his own son when Isabella dies.

a radically new interpretation of "Wuthering Heights" in which Healthcliff is, or might be, the unacknowledged son of the landowner Earnshaw, a dark-skinned & ostracized heir of UK gentility, would be exciting to see; but the new film, reviews suggest, is a heady romance of white persons which is good for box office (perhaps) but not otherwise engaging.

@JoyceCarolOates Did you see it?

"His hands were fire, blood surged beneath his kisses, and his devil's breath seethed and dazed like vapors."

our culture values shallow provocation too much and depth too little

The way Academy-Award winner Emerald Fennell gets under the skin of “intellectuals” and “cinephiles” should be studied. She’s a provocateur operating at the highest of (Wuthering) Heights and it drives them INSANE and I absolutely love it.

Emerald Fennell is NOT seeing heaven

@SapphicMaetel The idea that anything that provokes a response, good or bad, without considering the quality of either provocation or response, is very silly
English
Once upon a time "provocateur" might've meant Von Trier, Haneke, Noe or Denis, but, like everything else in these wretched times, it's been wholly debased. Now empty & sterile films plague us, but any critical response is castigated as "intellectualism" which must be repented for

i don't know what "wuthering" even means and at this point i'm afraid to ask
English
wuthering heights (movie) was not transgressive. it took source material that was actually truly transgressive and smoothed it over into tumblr slop
English
@bustanutkeaton I think a lot of people just don't get the story and see Cathy and Heathcliff as these annoying horrible people without really paying attention to why they're like that or the rest of the characters (especially the second generation!)
English
@winterduck04 some of the most beautiful lines in the book come after Cathy's death
