Friday night's film was... "Wuthering Heights" the Emerald Fennell one.
She said she wanted to recreate her thoughts and feelings after reading the novel when she was 14.
In that respect it's a very successful film bc it feels like a 14 year old white girl's Wuthering Heights tumblr made into a film

This brother is a man after my own heart. Only after I moved away did I truly realise how British sticky toffee pudding (STP) is. I have to have one every time I go back. Had a sub par one at Christmas.
"I don't want to have to eat my sticky toffee pudding with a knife and fork" is just facts.

“I’ve reviewed over 50 sticky toffee puddings” is an incredibly powerful way to begin a video

Tonight's film is... The Sheik (1921). It's the Rudolph Valentino one. I just read the book for my romance course... um... it has all the Orientalism and colonialism plus kidnapping.
I've never seen a Valentino film, so I want to witness the magnetism.

No joke: I got angry hate mail today for writing an obituary of a Black woman scientist—because the person felt she did didn’t deserve the recognition.
Which just makes me want to share it again: www.nature.com/articles/d41...

I'm confused Bridgerton S4...
They keep talking about London and Mayfair but filming in Bath. Then it refers to the Ton, which infers country not the town and that's why it's always summer because that's the country season. So where the hell is this set?!?

Watching Seven Dials Mystery. I guess it's a comedy. But even considering that it's an ensemble of handpicked morons.

At the end of the day, the Black Lives Matter era was about whether people should be killed in the street, and lots of people decided yeah and put those little blue flags on their cars. It spread to everyone because it stopped for no one.
