I overheard a customer at work today saying she was going to see it and that it had been described as '50 Shades of Bronte'.

@LavidaRaq Apparently the 2011 version is the most believable so I might watch that instead of the 2009 one.
Just googled Project Hail Mary, it sounds like good escapism for those who are into sci fi. Perhaps I should give that genre another chance.

@RodneyTrotter1 if you have audible, listen to the book. It’s Soo good.

@LavidaRaq I've never listened to an audio book so, as they say, no time like the present! I'll look audible and give it a try. Thanks for the idea 🙂

I don't know. Eventually I'll end up watching the movie. Perhaps I'll wait till it's on streaming. I'm of an age that William Wyler's version was often on the television. Laurence Olivier played Heathcliff with an icy, almost demonic energy. That's something that I do remember from the times when watching it as a child. Of course, that movie focused less on the detail of Heathcliff's wrath post Cathy's death, but more so on the sheer complexity of Heathcliff and Cathy's relationship in the first place. If one doesn't mind that it did also completely omitted characters from the book, it nevertheless perfectly captures the very essence of the bleak, chilling, haunting Yorkshire Moors that Bronte described in it. Some claimed that director Wyler was trying to say that both Heathcliff and Catherine were no good, and I must agree with that

@val70 yes, I agree with that as well. This new movie is a far reach from the book. So it’s just a beautiful picture of a toxic romance in a beautiful setting. The dresses are amazing to see though.

No, I've seen the version with Ralph Fiennes which followed the story quite well and that's the one I want to remember. Cathy having dark hair and dark eyes was an important part of the story, by making her blond, I can't even imagine what did they make of it. There was quite strong symbol in how the main characters' appearance was depicted in the book and why the Cathy's daughter was fair-haired.
LavidaRaq · F
@CrazyMusicLover yeah, it was a completely different interpretation.
Amandapower · 26-30, F
Ahhh I still haven't seen it. I was planning to go watch it this weekend then plans changed. Was it good?
LavidaRaq · F
@Amandapower I thought it was pretty good. But you really need to go in with an open mind, not expecting it to be the same as the book.
Amandapower · 26-30, F
@LavidaRaq definitely!

@LavidaRaq That's 3 I want to see - also Marty Supreme and Song Sung Blue....
LavidaRaq · F
@fun4us2b I haven’t seen anything about those. However, I’m very excited to watch Project Hail Mary. I’ve read the book and it was amazing.
fun4us2b · M
@LavidaRaq Make it 4 - I read that one also
LadyBronte · 61-69, F
I wondered if it was good. I'll probably watch it when it comes out on one of the streaming platforms I subscribe to.
LavidaRaq · F
@LadyBronte I will probably rewatch as well, when it comes out and I can watch at home.

LavidaRaq · F
@ScreamingFox I hope you like it 🙂
EndlessHorizon · 46-50, M
I’m so tired of both of these actors. I’ll be skipping this one.
LavidaRaq · F
@EndlessHorizon yeah I can understand that. It will be on Netflix at some point.
HowtoDestroyAngels · 46-50, M
That dude was great in the new Frankenstein movie, but I have no desire to see this film.
LavidaRaq · F
@HowtoDestroyAngels I rarely go to the movies, so that’s one I’ll be waiting to watch at home. Hopefully soon.
