I saw The Great Gatsby this evening

My roommate talked me into it, and I don’t regret it. However! I don’t know what it says about me that the 1924 composition Rhapsody in Blue showing up in 1922 sequences threw me more than the 2013 songs that pepper the score. And the Gershwin piece was so chopped up!

J and I both giggled out loud during the hotel scene when Nick says, I just remembered, today’s my birthday. But honestly, the movie could have been far more ridiculous than it was. I told J, this movie may be better than AUSTRALIA, but I still like that movie more.

Man, Sam Waterston was quite the young hottie.

Dear Baz Luhrmann,

I before E.

Ha. Well this about sums it up, don’t it? If you can’t be bothered, no one’s begging you to try.

Oh no! Surely this can be fixed before it hits the screens…
