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.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

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.

Who would make a better Nick?

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

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

Yeah, Nick's a callow youth who gets bedazzled by Gatsby's life.
edit: Oh, lord, I'm now picturing Nick covered in rhinestones.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
do you know who I envision as Nick (but he would need to be a bit younger)? Matt Bomer. I think he could do Nick really well.

To quote Rihanna in the Battleship trailer, BOOM.

Well JGL could come close to carrying that look off.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Matt Bomer is an excellent suggestion. Sharp suits and yearning? Oh yeah, he can do that.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Tobey Maguire is the one major weak spot in that trailer. I don't understand why people keep casting him in period pieces, he looks and sounds ridiculous in them.
