Jane Eyre is so much the superior novel with a female protagonist who embodies one of the strongest characters in all literature.

The Hulk is waaay stronger.

+1 if you are talking literature, Frankenstein's monster had unnatural strength if I recall.
So did Dr. Jekyll. Jean Valjean had powerful strength. He lifted a cart.

Both books are great. But Wuthering Heights has always stuck with me more. I’m not sure why and I do think it’s kind of funny how confusing is that everyone has the same name (Catherine and Cathy and Linton and Linton) but for whatever reason that book has just stuck with me through the years.

I’m also a huge fan of Tess of the D’Urbervilles and have read that several times.

I loved the original (1939). I saw a 10 second snippet of this one and the acting seemed a bit stilted, but maybe that’s why. And of course, I’ll always picture a dark-haired Merle Oberon.

The only way to make a good movie based on the novel would essentially require a fan-fiction rewrite.

I'm with you. That worked for all the Kylo Ren Star Wars movies.

Hopefully the movie has some shots of Robbie’s feet like the Barbie movie did.

If it has a Sinners crossover maybe I’ll go see it.

The R rating won’t be a factor in the success or failure of this movie.

Wrong. It’s a revenue killer, and appeals to a much smaller audience than necessary, especially for a story like Wuthering Heights. It’s not a sex romp or a slasher movie.

According to the scathing previews, there was corpse themed erotica in the film.

It sounds unwatchable.

I wonder if Emerald Fennell herself has some sort of fetish - I'm remembering the scene in Saltburn when the main character has sex into the new grave of the guy he loved/was infatuated with.

+1

It seems like Emerald Fennell’s goal is to shock people with disturbing sex scenes. She honestly seems immature because it’s just gross.

Could that be a dream sequence sex scene when the audience and character know the other person is dead?

Because that’s not the same as sex with a corpse.

The trailer seems to point to lots of passionate dream sequences/fantasies, right?

- opens with a man ejaculating while getting hanged, with the onlookers going into an orgasmic frenzy as nuns fondle the dead man's pe#@$

- allusions to bestiality

- violent bondage scenes

The previews were overwhelmingly negative over how ick and disturbing the gratuitous and often violent sex scenes were. The link is just to one article that happens to be a tabloid (it summarizes some of the scenes succinctly) but there are tones of other complaining about the same issues.

Perhaps they edited some of them down based on the overwhelmingly negative response from the previews.

There is no way in hell I would let my teenage daughter see this movie.

Um, I think they are trying to make it a sexy romance, and a scantily clad Elordi will definitely attract an audience.

Have you watched the long trailer?

My 13 year old self would have shown up opening weekend for this movie. And Elordi’s fan girls span multiple generations. I think he can open a film…especially if people know he will be topless.

I mean, why do you think Top Gun threw in a volleyball scene and sex scene? Hint: to get girls to drag their boyfriends to see the movie.

Girls didn’t need to drag their boyfriends to see a movie about fighter jets.

Yep.

She has it in reverse.

The volleyball and sex scene was added so guys could convince their girlfriends to go watch a film about fighter jets.
