*wincing*
What talent does she stretch on film this time?
I suppose there are worse books to which it could have happened, but offhand I can't think of one.
Hell, there has yet to be a good film version of that book.
Well thanks, Satan.
For her sake I hope not. That book stank on ice. Then again, I have none too high of an opinion of ol' Fitzgerald's ability to captivate a reader...
Daisy...
Am I mixing up my characters, or wasn't Daisy a super-rich heirress and socialite who knew nothing about anything and while she thought herself o, so refine, she was low-class and ignorant as a house plant?
I mean, given the shift in morality, Paris Hilton IS Daisy!
I wonder if this film attempt will be nearly as popular as her first entry into the video market. The Paris Hilton Sex Video was probably one of the most widely viewed movies in the last couple of years.
Perfect. Worst novel ever meets worst actress ever. A match made in Hades if ever I heard one.
Fitzgerald's hitting about 7200 rpms about now. Someone should harness that energy.
I don't know. Daisy always struck me as a complete airhead. I never understood why Gatsby was so in love with her.
Paris Hilton as Daisy sounds like a perfect fit to me.
NO!!!!!!
Paris is Daisy? That talent scout's crazy!
My man Lance, at first he said "No way!"
Then that boy, he found out what it pay.
Those Hollywood guys, they always chase a buck
Too bad they make movies that really do suck
The Great Gatsby is one of the few books I never finished. About a third in I realised that I didn't really give a rat's arse about what happened to any of the characters.
You'd be surprised the degree to which I am NOT a prude, but am I the only one who thinks that after making a video of herself having sex in a threesome (and I believe eventually negotiating a cut of the profits for its distribution), Paris Hilton has identified herself as a stupid, filthy skank? I'm really disturbed by the media touting her as a cute show biz phenom when she participated in outright hard core pornography.
Ok, so naturally my question after reading that was if the film would be shot entirely in night vision?
I'm with you on that. The Apocalyptic Age has begun.
Is this from The Onion? Wasn't Daisy a spoiled, clueless heiress? That's certainly accurate typecasting, but I can't picture a movie Daisy whose only dialog is "Like, oh wow!", and "Ew, gross!".
Seriously, I liked the book, and the 74 movie version was the only good role I've ever seen Redford in. He was perfectly cast as a complete phony who ended up dead in his own swimming pool. Wasn't Bruce Dern the mechanic who plugged him?
Nick, what madness is this?
Wasn't Mia Farrow enough of an insult?
