Winterbourne review for The Weekend Australian

[thekatebridgerton]

More ideas I'm too sleep deprived to write. This one courtesy of While you were sleeping and Mrs Winterbourne. (Yes I like to watch old movies, suck it gen alpha)

Two women in a boat, one sad shipwreck. Kate Sharma is on her way to England to take up a governess post after living her whole life in India (hoping to find her half sister Edwina, who was taken in by the Sheffields when Mary died). There she meets Benedict and Sophie, two newlyweds sympathetic to her family plight since they eloped behind Benedict's family back because Benedict feared they wouldn't accept him marrying the runaway bastard of an Earl. They just had their honeymoon in India and are traveling to reconcile with Benedict's family.

Sophie and Kate bond over being orphan girls forced to make their own way in the world and in a moment of admiring her wedding ring Sophie lets Kate try it on ( maybe one day you could get married too Kate, just imagine it) just as a terrible storm breaks out in the sea.

The Ship capsizes and the whereabouts of survivors become unknown. Next thing Kate knows she's waking up in a luxurious mansion, surrounded by kind and sympathetic people and a angelic woman who keeps referring to her as ' my new daughter'. Servants keep calling her ' Mrs Bridgerton ' and Kate knows something is wrong, what is this about a Shipwreck? Where is she? What happened to her? And most of all why do people keep staring at Sophie's ring?

Wait... Sophie's RING!!! where is Sophie!!!

Turns out that Kate washed away very close to the coast and the Bridgertons mistaked her for Benedict's new wife, who they had never seen because she was wearing the Bridgerton family ring. Oh what a mess, of course Benedict's pompous Viscount brother is suspicious, anybody would be!! But they're all so kind, and there's a possibility Benedict and Sophie might turn up any day right? Is it wrong for Kate to accept the Bridgerton hospitality until they're found, just while she looks for her long lost sister? Surely Benedict and Sophie can help her clear up the misunderstanding

Meanwhile Anthony is mighty wary of the woman who claims to be Sophie Bridgerton. For one, he knows Benedict, no way his softhearted brother would ever marry such a stubborn harridan, who shoots, rides and challenges his patience like the worst nightmare he's ever had. If anything Benedict's reconciliation letters painted Sophie as a forgiving considerate jewel without an unfriendly bone in her person. Nothing like the iron willed hag he finds himself arguing with anytime they cross paths. She's hiding something and he's going to figure out what. (But she also makes him laugh)

Kate eventually warms up to Anthony, against her better judgement, because he's really not that bad when he's not being overbearing, but the more she gets to know him, the more guilty she feels, she thinks she's falling in love with the pompous idiot but he thinks she's his sister in law, or worse, his WINDOWED sister in law. Please Benedict, wherever you washed up in that shipwreck, get back home with Sophie soon! Else Kate and Anthony are going to end up in a scandal.

Hey! Just wondering if you could suggest some romantic/rom-com movies💖

Have a great day❤️🌼

Oh my goodness, I certainly can!! Thank you, bby! 💖💖

10 of my favorite romantic comedies:

(In no particular order.)

1. 10 Things I Hate About You

An absolute perfect movie. Dialogue, casting, story, romance, Heath Ledger, Shakespeare references, what more could a literary inclined girl want?

2. A Cinderella Story

Another gift from the early 2000s. Is it cheesy? Sometimes. Is it adorable? Absolutely.

3. He's Just Not That Into You

Hilarious, sometimes heartbreaking, ensemble cast, but the endings for each couple are undoubtedly satisfying. Plus, my favorite rewind moment of all time:

4. Crazy, Stupid Love

Ryan Gosling, Emma Stone, Steve Carrell, Josh Groban cameo. Need I say more? (But it will also unexpectedly grip your heart with profound, tender moments.)

5. While You Were Sleeping

One of my favorite Sandra Bullock rom coms, of which there are many. (Honorary mentions: The Proposal, Practical Magic, Two Weeks Notice, and Miss Congeniality, though it's not really a rom com is one of my favorite movies in existence.)

6. You've Got Mail

A classic of classics in rom com history. Meg Ryan at her best, Tom Hanks at his. She's a small, independent bookstore owner. He's essentially Barnes & Noble, coming in to disrupt New York with corporate America.

7. Mrs. Winterbourne

A forgotten '90s Brendan Fraser must-see movie. He's the "rich playboy" type, she's scrappy and resourceful, pregnant by her deadbeat ex-boyfriend, and pretending to be the widow of Fraser's twin brother, who recently died in a train accident.

8. Crazy Rich Asians

Based on a book, top-tier casting, bad ass mother-in-law, bad ass heroine, a classy, handsome, Good Man™️ hero? Sign me TF up.

9. 13 Going on 30

Easily Jennifer Garner's best movie, but also Mark freakin' Ruffalo. They're adorable together, and this one's a classic in its own right, full of heart, back-stabbing bitches, and 80s music references.

10. My Big Fat Greek Wedding

It's one of the best, folks. Also one of the most quotable movies in movie history lol. As a kid, I remember really identifying with Toula, who feels too plain, too big, too "frump girl."

But Ian never saw her that way. He genuinely laughs at her jokes. He's patient with her and sees her beauty, inside and out. He also deals with a lot of crap from her family in order to be with her, with all the grace and gentlemanly poise a guy could have.

And Toula learns to love herself, fall in love for the first time, and challenges every expectation of her family to do so.

I have many, many more, but these are just a few of my favorites. What's yours?

Don't see it on this list? Drop it in the comments! 💋

Colin would definitely help Penelope hide a body. He'd bury the body first and ask questions later. He's her ride or die for sure 🤞

I agree. This reminds me so much to the plot of Mrs. Winterbourne, If you didn't watch that movie, I really recommend it.

Specially because they had this dinamic very Pen and Colin too in some way.

I love this movie.

James Riley Appreciation Week!

Stargazing / Picnic

I would like to know if May was ever homesick while she was in the fairytale world honestly. I wonder if looking at the night sky also felt wrong, if maybe she couldn't find any familiar constellations.

Contact me immediately if you are into movies like Forrest Gump and Fried green tomatoes because everyone at my goddamn school seem to have been born in the age of skibidi toilet rizz somehow despite being adults. what do you mean you have not seen Mrs. Winterbourne, you uncultured swine. You do not know the whimsy of watching someone being told a story on a bench or in a nursing home. You do not know the joy of lesbians before she-ra. You do not know the sadness of a movie that will make you cry your eyes out at midnight. You have never savoured substance, only consumed. You do not know the surprise at how many presidential assassin attempts happened in just thirty years of someone's life. You have never felt the awe at how good of technology they had in 198-. You do not know the feeling of yelling at the TV, not because you hate a character, but because that gay cuban man just tried to take the blame for fucking shooting a deadbeat dad, but it was actually the main character's cool ass mother-in-law. and I am sorry for you.

Hello, Mr Graham,

Hope you are well!

I couldn't help but notice you put your love and adoration for dogs above everything and everyone, maybe even including yourself.

One can be curious from where these so strong sentiments come from.

I myself am a dog lover but I have never encountered someone like you in this matter.

Yours sincerely,

Aspasia Winterbourne

".... They don't care if you're a good person or not as long as you're their person, and I appreciate that quite a bit."

James Riley Appreciation Week 2024

Day 7: FREE DAY! I based this drawing on a dream I had where Bethany and May were best friends! (now that I think about it, it wasn't a crazy dream! I think they would be friends if they met)

[peri-helia]

Brendan Fraser really does in love and fucking cute about it to perfection

[quinntell]

Sending this your way because I think you’d enjoy, To Get To Know You is a q!Fit song in my mind, but it also could be fitpac if you squint hard.

I I have now listened to it like 4 times and absolutely

it’s sort of bitter sweet but also very domestic and wholesome

You instantly caught me in the beginning

it’s not me it’s my way of life is definitely a q!fit line. Like we all k ow that fit himself is without his walls and the danger around him a big ass softie. The way he acts almost all the time is his way of life not fully him.

Then compared to the other one these lyrics are more soft and domestic I can definitely picture fit and pac sitting in fit’s kitchen or at starbobby just talking to each other

or if you want it purgatory’s it’s less describing what’s happening and more what fit wishes. Like instead of the lyrics going with his character it is his character saying them to either himself or pac wishing that they wouldn’t have to fight and they could just talk like old times

I really like doing this.

[brightwingedbat]

Another four this time, still getting the hang of doing headshots relatively quick!

I'm rewatching Mrs. Winterbourne again and I just noticed this. But the man who gives Connie the directions to the shelter that ends up getting her on the train to Boston instead, just suddenly disappears while she's looking at the paper, almost ghost-like. Do you think there's supposed to be some insinuation that Mr. Winterbourne, Hugh and Bill's late father, is doing ghostly shenanigans to get Bill a wife?

Could it just be for the drama? To avoid an awkward end to the conversation? Sure. But could it be more?

[girllookingoutwindow]

And Now, who is watching Mrs. Winterbourne for more of 1000 times?

[cavillanche]

I know we all LOVE Brendan Fraser in The Mummy. It’s essentially the one fandom we’re all in. And we love George of the Jungle. It’s the Himbo romance we all fantasize about.

BUT….

For as much as we love and support Brendan, we really don’t talk about his other films enough. He was in amazing films, starring in both dramatic and comedic roles with equal skill, well before The Mummy or GotJ.

So, as a reminder, here are just a sample of some of his great films that need to be talked about more. If you haven’t seen these, please remedy that.

James Riley Appreciation Week!

Fruit / AU

Mob Psycho Au for Half Upon a Time/Once Upon Another Time trilogies! Explanations and rambles under the cut

Jill as Reigen and Jin as Mob because Jill is just as resourceful and cunning as Reigen and would definitely be a conwoman lol. Jin is nothing like Mob tho (except for the whole "power of god inside an adolescent boy" thing they both have going on lol) but the Mob and Reigen dynamic is how I see the Jill and Jin dynamic

The Spark as Dimple just bc of how The Spark was like when Jin had absorbed it in the first book and kept telling him he should use his powers for himself and destroy everyone. Also i did not mean to make it look like a cockatiel LSDKFJLSKDFJ

Lena as Tsubomi bc I see them both as aroace (tho that's only canon for Lena lol) and also Lena is also like Tsubomi where she's confident in who she is and doesn't like to conform to others around her. also because Jin canonically has a crush on her like Mob does with Tsubomi lol

Shefin as Teru because honestly he acts like he's the most important person in the world but I thought it'd be hilarious to keep him at his canon height in the books of 6 inches tall. He tries to kick Jin's ass as if Jin couldn't just beat him by stepping on him lmao

May as Shou and Eudora/The Evil Queen as Toichirou bc evil older family member who tries to take over the world with army of followers she managed to get on her side. However because May is Shou while Jill is Reigen, i literally have no idea where to put Jack in this AU lmao
