Just Don't Cast Nicole!
The Great Gatsby is the only book I read in high school from cover to cover. The other books I had to read, I used CliffsNotes or asked around in AOL chat rooms. Aw. I loved AOL chat rooms. You could suck cyber cock in one room while asking literature questions in another. Sweet memories.
So because it was the only book in high school I cared about, I'm a little fucking grossed out that Baz Luhrmann has bought up the film rights. This will be the fifth The Great Gatsby movie. My personal favorite is the TV version with Mira Sorvino, because it's a hot steaming log of diarrhea covered in obese maggots.
Baz thinks it's a perfect time to do a remake, because everyone's money is burning. Baz said, "If you wanted to show a mirror to people that says, 'You've been drunk on money,' they're not going to want to see it. But if you reflected that mirror on another time they'd be willing to. People will need an explanation of where we are and where we've been, and 'The Great Gatsby' can provide that explanation."
People don't go to the movies to think! They go to see soft core fucky times, bitches shooting each other and talking animal friends. I know for a fact that they don't go to the movies to see Nicole Kidman, so if Baz is thinking of casting her as Daisy, he better change his name to Spaz and crawl into a kangaroo pouch.
I can totally see him casting Nicole, because he's all up on her rubbery snatch. Nicole is no Daisy! The bitch ain't even the plastic daisy bouquet from the clearance section at Big Lots that sits on my mom's living room coffee table.

She's fucking up her ONCE beautiful face BIG TIME. Going the Melanie G. route is tragic.

correction her face IS fucked! and sadly in truth I think its more to do with her lack of depth of character than botox

Nicole Kidmans acting is right on par with Jessica Albas.

Wow, we really are a nation of illiterate morons judging from the responses to TGG here. It's one of the greatest American novels ever written - the last two paragraphs alone are perfect, lyrical and sad. No wonder people in this country love the idiotic Sarah Palin - she doesn't care about "book larnin'" neither!
I'm glad you liked the book, MK - proves you have taste and intelligence (which I knew already).
And I still hope Lurhmann doesn't get his mitts on it.

Meh. It's just not my cup of tea.
It might be beautifully well written, which is rarer and rarer these days, but I'm a dystopia novels kinda person, so I'm not sure how that renders me an illiterate.

A brilliant book. He'll screw it up.

Nicole Kidman is way too old to play Daisy. The characters in the book are in their early twenties for chrissake! She's old enough to be Daisy's mother.
Remember: Crying in public doesn't really make you less of a man. It does, however, make you more of a woman.
OMG! No, no no! The Great Gatsby is one of the greatest novels of this century! Mia Farrow-nutcase from the planet Zeno and Robert Redford already destroyed the last attempt to film this masterpiece. Please tell me it's not true! Kidman has to stick to ghost stories, then she will be in her element.
Enough already. Give Baz a stop sign, a whistle and a pair of white gloves and he couldn't direct traffic.

Mikey, Daisy is supposed to be 23. All the Botox in the world wouldn't make Kidman look 23.
I can see Luhrmann trying to get Keira Knightley, Scarlett Johansson or Natalie Portman for the role (Portman still looks like a kid; Knightley and Johansson ARE still kids). Gatsby is another matter; if he were younger Matt Damon would have been perfect, Maybe James Franco. Franco would also make a good Nick Carraway (the best ever was the young Sam Waterston, in the semi-awful 1970s Redford/Farrow version). Too bad Edward Norton is too old - he'd have been a terrific Carraway (he and Waterston both have that patrician thing going).
I think Luhrmann will eff it up, though.
Ok.
After 30 pages into this, f*ck it.
Not sure why, but this book turns me off something fierce.

Seriously fuck that book. Sorry MK.

I need a new pair of panties just thinking about this.
IMO Baz is a Nicloonie. ;) and Nic sure could play Daisy,in every role shes Daisy.
Baz said he wouldn't work with Nicole Kidman again because everytime they work together they have "life changeing experiences". Whatever the fuck that means.
Baz is kind of hot. I'm kind of curious to see what he'll do. Let's hope he goes all out and realy brings to life that time period. Not a lot of directors can for some reason. Although whoever did Miss Pettigrew did a good job.
And Mia Farrow sucked as Daisy. Redford was hot but Mia totally killed that movie for me.
Never read the book,won't watch the movie
Between two evils, I always pick the one I never tried before.

I loved the book in high school. It is possibly kind of a juvenile book. Anyone know if the silent movie version is available somewhere out there? I thought the Redford version was awful and they were all too old. Bleh.
I hated The Great Gatsby. I had to read that snore fest of a book in highschool.
Seeing as how it's so terribly uninteresting, I'd say Nicole would actually be a great pick.
I will take your word for it, barelybeagle. Pretty sure I've got it somewhere 'round here too.
I am not convinced I will like it still, but it should be a good way to kill some time anyway.
I'm still not over what that silly woman has done to her face. Saw "Cold Mountain" yesterday, no emotion, just a frozen face with awfully altered features. Cold indeed. Loved it when Inman said "These lips I have been dreaming of". LOL. And she used to be so nice. I think "The others" is the last film you can watch her in. Why Nicole, why. Oh, back to topic. She's alright as Daisy when Burt Reynolds is cast as Gatsby.
The Great Gatsby and To Kill a Mockingbird were the only two books I read in high school that I really liked. Did anyone else have to read Lord of the Flies? I did... well, I was supposed to... fucking hated that book. Could not get into it to save my damn life.
Never read the book, should I?
And sweet Jesus, NK really needs to go back to her ginger days.
I have read a TON of books in my lifetime, but I've never read The Great Gatsby. Is it worth reading?

he needs to cast Alexis Arquette as Daisy. He needs to.
I really hated that book when I was in high school!! I remember telling my teacher, Mr. Kennedy, that it was a stupid book about rich, white people and it sucked. I got an F!!
Anyway, no worries, Baz said that he will not work with Nicole again. He gave some stupid explanation but, what it boiled down to was that Nicky is BO poison!! Girl hasn't had a hit in decades and the movie "Australia" has put the nail in her coffin. Not only will he not work with her again, nobody else will either. So, there is a God!!!
right now I'm a little too drunk to remember Great Gatsby and in highschool I was WAY to high and drunk to remember it. but i do know I love Nicole. Fuck all you haters. the pale redheads got to stick together.
I hate my boss!! I'm not your personal fuckin christmas Elf!! do your own shit.
I, too, read "The Great Gatsby" while in high school. It was, and still is, one of the most boring stories every published and filmed.

Didn't we figure out that these 2 were banging each other the other day? Check the body language, it looks very forced, awkward and stiff doesn't it? Lovers tiff perhaps?
MK is about 28 or 29, says his myspace. I'm too lazy to link it for you, so google him, you cunts!
Boycott Baz NOW! All his movies suck, except Romeo and Juliet because of all the cross-dressing and fun drug taking shit in it. Moulin Rouge SUCKED! There's no way in hell Nicole can play Daisy she's FAR TOO old. She looks like a witch in that picture.

Roger that. I'm getting sick of it too. It's so forced in most movies and not a intregral part of the plot.
Just downloaded the new movie 'nixon' very good. no sex. but then, you really wouldn't want there to be with a title like that!!!

Ah, Mia Farrow memories. on another note, spice dong, don't you know friends of Dorothy are always up on old movies and thus ageless? I first tried AOL was in the mid eighties, and it was called America Online then. So, anyone up to say, 45ish could have been on aol in high school.
i was quietly amused when i found out that that "epic" movie AUSTRALIA, that they were giving so much hype, Bombed at the B.O.
i wish this bitch would just be true to herself and rock the whole,red curly hair look that made her famous in the first place....
I just wish she'd just come out and tell the whole world her ex is a psychotic controlling cultish douchebag friend of Dorothy! That's all I care about.
YESSS Anonymous101! I posted that hoping I would find another like me. I liked it well enough I suppose, but can hardly swallow the immense following built up around it. There is far greater (but lesser-known, unfortunately) American literature out there. "The Great Gatsby" is pretty simplistic, and it's not as if its themes are even revelatory or original at all. Color me bewildered.
Bitch, please...something in your chronology ain't right.
There was no AOL yet when you were in high school.
All your pop culture references and personal stories point out that you must be in your late 30s or pushing 40yo already...so there's no way you were in high school in the mid 90's unless you did high school in your mid 20's...which is always a possibility. ha!
Sorry MK, I disagree. I'm tired of seeing softcore fucky times in movies. They add sex scenes to every movie now, even fuckin' kids movies have some embarassing sexual situation pretty challenging when you're trying to find a good movie to see with family
luckily i think she's just too damn old to be considered, daisy's supposed to be in her 20s, right?

I'm starting to think there are only 3 or 4 actresses in hollywood anymore.
I guess it must be hard finding talented people willing to try their luck at getting into acting.

Yawn...although there is something exceedingly appropriate about the most overrated novel and actress of the 20th century coming together as one. Meh.

Glad to see I'm not the only one who thinks the novel is overrated - I think I was the only b!tch in HS who didn't care for it.

I hope it won't be a mess. Actually, when you think about it, I bet it will be a hot mess. Look at Romeo & Juliet and Moulin Rouge. They were beautiful but messy.

Well, casting this bitch in it will be the kiss of death, that's for sure.
