Finding myself in a Merle Oberon mood lately, revisiting her films these past weeks, and:
Opinion. Mine. She is so underrated and overlooked. Despite being in one of my favorite films—WUTHERING HEIGHTS (1939)—rarely is her name dropped as often as her contemporaries by way of other films she's in.

Also, this isn't a gotcha, physical media is still important.
All physical media has its weaknesses, whether manufacturing defect, "it makes its own oxygen" raging infernos or vinegar syndrome.
It's still better than a Zaslav being able to delete all digital access with a touch of a button.

Some Conservatives here in Canada have touted Liz Truss's opinion of Mark Carney as some kind of gotcha as he runs for Liberal leadership (with aim to be our PM). As a Canadian who follows a far bit of UK politics I'd like to counter with first, "Who?" and then "Her?"
