Someone wondered if ‘Hurlevent’ was similar to the movie 28 Years Later, perhaps a French term for a really emotional film. They also questioned why the cast and crew of Wuthering Heights would pose with the word ‘Hurlevent’ instead of the movie’s title. These questions turned out to be surprisingly simple: ‘Hurlevent’ is the French title of Wuthering Heights. This has been the case for a long time, going back to the 19th century, and was popularized by the 1985 French film adaptation also titled Hurlevent. It turns out we’ve been living with this French title all along without realizing it – a funny twist in a globalized world!

As a total film and TV buff, I’ve seen a lot, and honestly, this series, which first came out way back in 1999, still holds up incredibly well. It’s one of those rare shows that doesn’t feel dated at all, and I think it actually improves with time. Some might even say it’s better to discover it now than when it was originally airing over its six seasons.
Figure skating analyst Jackie Wong, reporting from Milan, says skaters didn’t usually have trouble getting permission to use songs until a legal issue in 2022. American pairs team Alexa Knierim and Brandon Frazier, who won an Olympic medal, often skated to a cover of “House of the Rising Sun” by the group Heavy Young Heathens. According to Wong, Heavy Young Heathens sued many parties, including NBC, which caused a major change in the skating world. Suddenly, skaters were required to get music cleared in advance – a process that didn’t exist before the lawsuit. This caused a lot of concern. The case was settled out of court, with the Guardian reporting that Heavy Young Heathens received $1.4 million.
