Since the idiot director apparently uses rap music instead of that great original Jazz, I feel absolutely no temptation to see this dumb movie. I can’t stand that horrible stuff.
Beyoncé? No thanks.
Between Baz Luhrmann as director and Leonardo DiCrappio as the lead, I know I won’t be paying to see this. Not even as a rental.

I heard a Jack White rock song, “Love is Blindness,” from the “soundtrack” on the radio this morning. I kind of liked the song, but it didn’t make me think of Robert Redford in Newport or anything fun ... just weird-looking Jack White.
It was called “The Jazz Age”. Using rap or hip-hop music is anachronistic. Will they be using iPhones to communicate also?
Is Beyoncé such a one-trick-pony that she could not have spent a few hours listening to old Ella Fitzgerald recordings and tried to sing in the style of the era?
Well, you have to remember that this is the guy who made “Moulin Rouge,” which I have always maintained seems like the result of Tim Burton and Ken Russell going out and getting really drunk together, then making a film before sobering up.
I just saw “The Great Gatsby.” The use of rap and disco music, as well as the disco dancing, in a film set in 1922 was ridiculous. Even the few tunes from the 1920’a that were used were post-1922.
And Gatsby must have gone through a time warp to get the car he was driving, a 1929 Duesenberg.
