“Wuthering Heights”: New Poster Is A Homage To Classic Romance Novels

The official trailer for “Wuthering Heights” was released last week, but this week we got a new poster that pays homage to classic romance novels. The lit nerds in your life are going to be mad for the next three months, and you should probably just accept it. When it comes to the works of Emily Brontë, people have big opinions and even bigger feelings, so this new adaptation of Wuthering Heights was always going to draw a lot of criticism. When the first set photos leaked, costume and fashion nerds jumped in to talk about how the clothing did not fit the era of the film at all. The first teaser trailer for the film was released in September, and everyone pitched a fit. Two and a half months later, we have the official trailer, and people are still big mad. There have been plenty of good films that have been sold poorly in trailers, but to say that “Wuthering Heights” will be heading into its opening weekend on the back foot is an understatement unless the conversation around this film shifts dramatically. The team behind this film is a little self-aware, or someone on the team is a little self-aware, because the new poster is a perfect homage to classic bodice rippers. “Wuthering Heights”: Summary, Cast List, Release Date From Warner Bros.

MAGA host panics over big Dem election wins: ‘I’m afraid our midterms will look like this’

Pro-MAGA host Gina Loudon expressed concern that Republicans might lose in the upcoming midterm elections after Democrats dominated election night on Tuesday. Speaking on Real America’s Voice following President Donald Trump’s address to Republican senators on Wednesday, Loudon shared her thoughts on the election results.

“Yeah, first of all, I think it was nice to see a president that was so presidential, as he stayed very calm, he didn’t really respond to any of the silliness of Mamdani, all the rest of it,” she explained.

Loudon continued, “I think that the consensus is, I’m looking through our chat, and I think that, to put it very succinctly, President Trump, being president, is a huge job. That’s obviously an understatement. He has spent a lot of time looking out at the world and trying to fix things. I think it is time to come home and to focus on our, especially our economy.”

According to Loudon, “People are feeling completely disabled economically. And if we don’t come home and focus on our domestic issues, I’m afraid our midterms will look like this.”

Correspondent David Zere agreed with her assessment. “And the foreign policy is critical,” he said, “but people can’t survive.” He added, “Lettuce is still $3 a head in the supermarket. And Trump’s economic agenda has not kicked in yet, but people can’t wait, and that’s exactly what Mamdani took advantage on yesterday in New York City.”

Loudon argued that Republicans were losing elections because they were “letting [Democrats] label us as these, you know, awful, selfish capitalists.”

She emphasized the distinction between Donald Trump and a tyrant, stating, “Yes, Donald Trump is wealthy, but he wants every American to be wealthy. He said it many times. He’s working for it every single day. And I think it’s going to take more than nine months to get it done,” she remarked.
