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.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.

Whoo, the Gatsby trailer is gorgeous, but I'm a complete sucker for Baz. My love for Moulin Rouge cannot be textually rendered; it needs squeaking and flaily-hands. So I suppose I should read the book before the movie comes out?
The trailer also proved something I suspected: yep, there's something about Tobey MacGuire that makes me want to slap him. Just hearing his voice makes me grimace.

Jilli,
I really liked The Great Gatsby. I don't think any movie can really do the book justice. I read it a long time ago though. I wonder if I should pick it up again. In my head TGG and The Sun Also Rises exist together, paired. I think it is because of the female main characters in both.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I don't think I am going to watch this in the theater. Robert Redford = Gatsby to me.
That trailer looks gorgeous as hell. But I also have such a strong Redford-as-Gatsby association that I'm hesitant about it. Spider-Man does look like he gives good Nick Caraway, though.
I'll probably see it, because -- gorgeous, old sport. Gorgeous.
In my head TGG and The Sun Also Rises exist together, paired.
I read them together for a class. And possibly wrote a paper on them, something to do with barren landscapes, maybe?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Yeah, Jilli, I do want to hit him until he talks like a normal person, and then maybe a little more. Spider-Man was torture. That I kept inflicting on myself.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
I am Jilli WRT to Baz love and Tobey not-love. I did read Gatsby in high school - Gatsby Day was a senior year highlight, we all dressed as flappers and such - and as gorgeous as the trailer is, Baz's manic tendencies don't strike me as a good fit. I think of Gatsby, I think of heat and haze and languor and tension under the surface, a pressure cooker that finally explodes.
And now I want to re-read the book.
There's a good chance I'll see it, I really do wish someone else had Tobey's role. Who would make a better Nick? Let's fantasy cast.

Isn't Tobey old for the role? Isn't Nick like 22?
