The Time Traveler's Wife on HBO with Rose Leslie and Theo James is a catastrophe

[illicitlove]

The social media embargo for The Time traveler's wife has been lifted and initial reviews are coming in and they are BAD

Rose Leslie and Theo James play a married couple with no chemistry who meet-weird when one person is a child. https://t.co/feDPPElJB3

I'm so tired of remakes, reimaginings and all that shit 😩

[littlebones]

like was the film even that popular to warrant another adaptation? there are other books

[nrllaless]

I’ve never seen the movie, but several of the reviews I’ve read for the show have mentioned how bad the movie was/how poorly received it was.

someone recommended the book to me as a great love story and when i read it, i was like uhhhh he tells her as a child he's her husband from the future? and they have sex for the first time on her 18th birthday? can't trust that person's recommendations ever again

We really need the vomit emoji button

hard same.

in hindsight, the person who recommended it to me met her husband (then 36) at 15, dated him when she was 17, married him at 19 and had their first child at 21…so I should’ve known. same person believes Whitney, My Love to be the epitome of romance, in spite of or maybe because of the plot line of grown man spanking his 15 y.o. wife. this shit really fucks you up

Same. Someone recommended this to me after a hard school year in grad school and I remember I like tossed it as soon as I got to some problematic parts that make it feel awkward to me.

[ohwutevernvm]

is this an episodic remake from the 2009 movie (the one with Rachel McAdams) for this tv show? I’m trying to remember that rn… Also WTF @ the premise. NOOOOOO. WHO greenlit this???

[stepinsidelove]

Yes kinda. It was a book before it was a movie though.

I read insensitive content and I was like damn we have a tag like that? :D

[devoida_taste]

I scrolled up and lost it on Insane Clown Posse. OMG!

[t_snake]

I thought we've been knew? The plot wasn't exactly a secret no?

They could have done differently but hey what do I know.
