two months pass...

The first hour is the comedy of the year. Best moment: Tom's slo-mo slap of Myrtle; CUT TO black guy playing trumpet.

the objections to Drake from non-REAL HIPHOP people (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Saturday, 19 October 2013 12:38 (ten years ago) link

I'm disappointed that as Leo said "we're goign to meet Meyer Wolfsheim, one of the city's most distinguished businessmen" we didn't get CUT TO HUGE SILHOUETTE OF WOLFSHEIM'S QUIVERING JEWISH NOSE instead of THE EYES OF DR. ECKLEBURG or whtaever

six months pass...

I'm about halfway through and jjjusten is otm, first 20 minutes made me want to tear out my own eyes...but it has kinda surprised me so far. Like, it's not as horrible as I expected. I'm pretending not to hear most of the music. *barf*

Tobey McGuire's narration is distractingly bad. From the initial voiceover I thought I was going to see him in horrible old-man makeup because he sounded so frail and doddering. And the line readings are really weird, strange pauses in weird places...cmon dude

But I dig Leo's Gatsby. He's good with the facial stuff, the way his eyes belie the confidence he's trying to project, it's pretty spot on.

Anyway back to the movie.

Also unperson says the author is actually previously published by an actual publisher? Which is the most surprising thing.

it could be good if it punctures the smooth facade/babe in the woods schtick he and many other narrators use, like uncover some buried rage that he studiously evades in his narration of 'gatsby.' probably bad though.

The summary reads like the pitch was "I've got it, I'll turn this Fitzgerald character into a Hemingway one."
