A somewhat belated ALERT ALERT ALERT

[cleolinda]

There is a Great Gatsby trailer.

And my sister is NOT HAPPY about it. This is her favorite book, and she argues that both Gatsby and Daisy are ALL WRONG, and having read it, I see where she's coming from. It kind of looks like an entertaining trainwreck to me (as ceilidhann says, "This will either be a stunning adaptation of a classic or a Showgirls style hot mess. There is no in-between"), but then, I've lucked out with Books I Care About. Mostly. If you'll excuse me, I need to go pour one out for the unfinished His Dark Materials trilogy.

Also, I feel kind of bad--I don't picspam costumes on Tumblr anymore (mostly because I despair of trying to image-describe them sufficiently), but I have been using it for the kind of things I probably used to put more frequently on LJ. Mostly because there's a nice modular quality to it--a conversation here, a trailer there; you don't have to stop and collect enough stuff to merit a whole entry (or flail around when you have too many things to deal with). But you can't get a good conversation going for shit over there, given the way commenting is (not) set up. So. I should probably make more of an effort to do a Tumblr roundup here. Thus, for example, we have an Avengers tag with Some cute Avengers fan art, Freakishly Lifelike Loki, and THORGI. (Also: Thorgi and Lokitty.) I also tend to throw any interesting conversations under the "twitter" tag. Which is where you find all the squamous ladies. So. \;;;/

I will freely admit- I have never read The Great Gatsby. I must needs remedy this, methinks.

Even if it won't be true to the book, the costuming itself should make it worth watching.

It looks about as accurate as the Romeo + Juliet movie was - in other words, it'll probably be fun as hell but it's best you don't go into it expecting the book. Since this is the same director that did Romeo + Juliet, I suspect all my predictions will be truth.
