I can't tell if it is going to be awesome or a steaming pile of shite. I will probably go see it.

Probably not. Baz Luhrmann has a way of taking good things and making them bad. I just don't care for his artistic style. Romeo + Juliet is the only one of his movies I somewhat like, and it took me being forced to watch it twice to really appreciate anything about it. I really only liked the way he was able to intermingle Shakespearean language into a modern version of the play, and I suppose that's the work of the screenwriter more than the director.

SPEAKING of which, Joss Whedon has done a modern adaptation of Much Ado About Nothing that looks rather interesting.

Yeah I don't get the intense trailers. I need to read the book again but from what I remember it was pretty slow.

Leo as Gatsby? Of course I'm seeing it.

I don't expect much. But it looks pretty (:prometheusthread:) and I re-read the book a couple months ago as a refresher.
