movie: jane eyre

[seperis]

You know, and I say this with deep romantic love, Rochester is a creepy creepster who is creeping creepily. Just. For the record. Oh my God his creeping over Jane. How did I forget how unearthly unsubtle Rochester is? He's not even goddamn trying not to be creepy.

Christ, man, just get a fucking sign that says "I HAVE A CREEPY SECRET WHILE I CREEP OVER YOU, JANE."

"Poor and obscure as you are", how did I completely block out this?

Jane Eyre version with Michael Fassbender, which just makes it weirdly appropriate. It's like, Magneto in the nineteenth century whose mutant power is Creepiness. Creepneto. IDK. And also, not genocidal. I mean, I assume, but I've forgotten a lot of the book, so maybe he leads some kind of--yeah, no idea.

Suffice to say, Creepneto is freaking me out badly.

Oh, strangulation in the church. That's--what the hell.

Wait, I'm about to meet the wife. This is terribly, terribly disturbing.

This is what happens when you read classics at the age of 11, go, 'hey, that was a good book', and never pick them up again.

I have this strange urge to pick up all my Austens to make sure they're not all crazy sociopathic bigamists too.

YES OMG.

But then I reread it and still thought it was a good book and blanked all the shitty bits out? Therein lies my problem. :S

(lol rewatching the '06 miniseries which delivers way more on the inappropriate touching for that period O_o)

Okay, I'll keep that in mind! Thanks for telling me, but you're probably not the only one. It's like that thing with Disney movies and catching all the implications on the second go-round. Your brain's probably trying to preserve your childhood.

Ahhhh Toby Stephens and Ruth Wilson! I remember watching the entire series thinking, 'He's McGonagall's son! Omg!'
