In Which Mark Anticipates "The Great Gatsby"

"It's a Baz Luhrmann film and you've hated everything he's ever done."

It's TGG and I don't care.

"It's got Lana Del Rey on the soundtrack."

I can deal.  I mean, Jazz Age jazz is so quaint now.

"It's in 3D.  That makes you sick."

Um... I made it through at least one 3D movie before.  A short one.

"It has a cliche framing device and bloody voiceover narrations."

I can deal.  I can deal.

"They cut out the Nick/Jordan subplot."

!

!!!

Fuck you, Baz Luhrmann.  The careless, selfish and doomed relationship between totes gay Nick and pretty sure she's not straight either Jordan is my favorite subplot in the book.  Shit, that's where the whole "careless driver" motif comes from.  

Argh.  I may see it anyway, but fuckdammit.
