AnneBrontë.org joins the efforts of saving the Brontë Birthplace for Thornton 

Screencap taken on August 21, 10:11 h:


The Moors is a brooding, existential, poetic, theatre of the absurd, reminiscent of Camus’ and Sartre’s existentialism, Brecht’s alienation theatre, Ionesco’s theatre of the absurd. The Brontë sisters, the writings, art, the lineage of their short-lived windswept existence is the inspiration for The Moors. The fog of the “bleak moors” rolls in, strangely similar to the climes of our Mendocino coast. Though the artistic natures of its inhabitants are more dramatically stated in the play, a resonance is sensed. This production of the Moors offers a bold, even shocking, sometimes sexy, certainly entertaining array of psyches, a cabaret of the soul with no holds barred. (Marilyn Motherbear Scott)
The Boston Globe discusses student loan forgiveness: 
More than anything, [Dan} Forward thinks of what forgiveness could mean for his mother. A Jane Eyre fan, she raised him in a Swampscott home plastered in books and took out loans for his tuition at Boston College. Through the 2008 recession, she continued accruing debt. (Diti Kohli)
 SheKnows talks about Ben Affleck's estate and houses:
Lavish Living Rooms
With 16-foot ceilings and two fireplaces, this living room is something out of a Brontë novel. (Delilah Gray)
No, it is not. In any way, aspect or form.

Why we love the one we hate in Cosmopolitan (Italy):
La cultura pop è piena zeppa di storie d'amore di amanti/nemici. Si va da Molto rumore per nulla di Shakespeare, a Orgoglio e Pregiudizio, fino a Cime Tempestose, solo per stare sui classici. Naturalmente ci sono variazioni sul tema, con lieto fine incluso o meno (vedi Cathy e Heathcliff), ma, nei decenni, questo schema continua a piacere. (Elisabetta Moro) (Translation)
Mariskal Rock (Spain) lists the most memorable riffs of Pantera's guitarist Dimebag Darrell:
Cemetery Gates. (...) Si el nombre de Dimebag Darrell< suele aparecer con frecuencia en esas listas que se elaboran cada cierto tiempo sobre los guitarristas más influyentes, es sin duda por su trabajo en esta canción con letra descarnada que aborda algo tan crudo como la muerte de un ser querido y la perspectiva de suicidarse para reencontrarse con él en el más allá, un poco como aquella aterradora escena de la novela Cumbres borrascosas’ de Emily Brontë en la que el protagonista desenterraba el ataúd de su amada. (Translation)

Some late commenters on the Emily's trailer release: The Daily Star (Bangladesh), Isa e Chia (Italy). Tonight on TV2000 (Italy), Wuthering Heights 1992 is on (21.20 h). Today (Italy) publishes some trivia about the film.
