The Great Gatsby

[Pulscifer]

The first trailer was released today. I'm puzzled by the choice of music they used for it. The movie looks like it'll be good though.

Starring vinny chase?

If Billy doesn't have a cameo, I'm out!

Ha. No cameo in this but I did get booked to film a scene with DiCaprio in Django Unchained. In the scene it's me and some others bidding on a slave that DiCaprio is trying to sell us at a slave auction.

That cover of "Love Is Blindness" sounds pretty awesome.

 

[Volwark]

Doesn't look as good as the Redford version.

Do not like Tobey Maguire.

 

[Orangesmokey]

I will probably go see this movie. I had to read the book a couple of times in school. I like Volwark though I am not a big TM fan.

I didn't think much of Tobey Maguire until I saw Brothers.

Was the one book I hated most reading during school.

I don't usually like Tobey Maguire, but I think he's a perfect choice for that role.

Looks like it'll be terrible for people who want the movie to be they imagined it when reading the book. But if you can handle a fantastical, semi-steampunk interpretation, could be pretty good.

Not even The Scarlet Letter?

Not even The Scarlett Letter?

That was so much worse.

Exactly. Worst book I've ever read in my life. :banghead2:

 

[UTCVol]

I'd take The Scarlet Letter over Wuthering Heights any day. What an awful book.

Saw this movie tonight. Can't quite decide how I feel about it. Anyone else see it?

 

[orangeblooded2]

Thought it was well done. Looked and felt like the roaring twenties. That was half the battle.

I thought it was pretty amazing. The scene in the hotel with the ice blocks was cinematic genius.

 

[RDU VOL#14]

I didn't like that Jay Z and Kanye was apart of the soundtrack for a period piece set in the 20s.

 

[n_huffhines]

That's how Baz Larmon (sp?) does all his movies. I thought it worked.

 

[VolsSportsFan]

It was entertaining enough; I liked it a lot more than the 70s version with Redford. That one was a bit boring to me, and Mia Farrow was incredibly annoying.

 

[zaqhhh]

Was weird but in a very good colorful entertaining way

It was decent. I never read the book so I don't think I got the full effect. The story was much simpler than I thought it would be.

I agree I didn't like the Jay-Z music. All it really did was remind me that I was watching a movie.

All around I give it a 6.5 out of 10. But I'm a harsh movie critic.

 

[SWIL]

This movie was terrible and downright awkward

I agree with this. Not at all complimentary of the book, IMO.

My girlfriend and I decided to make a drinking game out of it. We drank every time Gatsby said "old sport". We got pretty toasted.
