We're having some evening drinks tonight.

I will die looking at these pink clouds (but hopefully not tonight).

""Making a sullen roar" (as the wind does), Northern England dialectal variant of Scottish and dialectal whithering "rushing, whizzing, blustering," from a verb wuther, whither (late 14c.), in reference to gusts of wind and coughing fits, from Old Norse."

Close!

Ralph Fiennes is great in the '92 outing, but the sunny lighting makes everything seem like it's taking place in your nan's cottage kitchen idk

The 2011 one deserves 4 stars for the first half, but loses steam in the second.

Wuthering Heights (1939) ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Wuthering Heights (1992) ⭐⭐
Wuthering Heights (2011) ⭐⭐⭐

Watched all these in the past week. Never seen previously.

For reasons.

"Wuthering" means "a strong wind" in antiquated English.

I know that. I want you to know that I know.

If you like gay knights and want to support actual gay voices (and a leading dyslexia campaign)... I got you.
