The one I'm thinking of is another 19th C British lit character.

A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
Heathcliff, innit?
Yes, it was! Wasn't it? Fiennes played Heathcliff in the 1992 film.
Oh! Right! Don't they also share Zeus now?

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.
Macbeth?
Yep! McKellen on stage and McAvoy in that modern reworking that's like Shakespeare crossed with Top Chef.
Rochester?
You got it. The William Hurt/Charlotte Gainsbourg version is *terrible*. Whoever heard of a blond Rochester anyway? I'm very partial to the newest BBC adaptation with Ruth Wilson and Toby Stephens, although my fave still remains the mini from early '80's with Timothy Dalton as Rochester.

They did film the McKellen/Dench Macbeth for the BBC--it's very good.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I totally would have gotten that! Uh, by a guess that it had to be that play. Not that I knew AD had played him.
