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.

Oh yeah! I knew he was in it but you see much more of him than you'd expect**. Forget the Persians, those teeth were wigging out the other Greeks.

P.S. I wrote up a review of the 2011 Jane Eyre here, though it is mostly about how when I was 11 I was made to write Jane Eyre fanfic in English class.


** I mean this in several senses DO YOU SEE

Miss Taddeo? As in, Villa's Miss Taddeo?

If not, sorry, there's another teacher wandering around with the same name in my high school. It happens.

YES, VILLA'S MISS TADDEO. Ahaha omg. Is she still teaching?

:D

I graduated a few years ago, but yeah, she's still teaching - at a reduced load. I had her for religion, not English, though. Sounds like I missed out. :P

(Have you been back to see the renovated bits? Everything's so shiny now.)

I was last on the grounds a couple of years ago, so I saw the stuff that was done up til then. I've never been back for a reunion or anything like that, though.
