I was always glad I said that. It was the only compliment I ever paid him.

The Great Gatsby (2013) dir. Baz Luhrmann
Imagine Guy Fieri as Gatsby, and calling you “Pulled Pork” instead of “Old Sport.”
So we beat on, boats against the current, borne on ceaselessly into Flavortown
we were all forced to read “classics” in school so reblog and put the one you actually ended up liking a lot and the one you can’t fucking stand in the tags
my fave is Lord of the Flies and I ironically enough want to burn every copy of Fahrenheit 451. trash
made a Gatsby meme that is literally nothing more than a callout post about myself
Michigan State University Library’s 1st edition, inscribed copy of The Great Gatsby, by F. Scott Fitzgerald. I get to work with this baby every week :)
The Great Gatsby Dreamcast-
(Currently, I’m kind of obsessed with The Great Gatsby now since I read it my English class, LOVED IT! I also loved both the 1974 version and 2013 version, and they soundtrack is really good too. Anyway, I’m kind of surprised that there isn’t some sort of musical adaption to this amazing book, so being the musical theatre nerd that I am, I decided to do some dreamcasting)
Jeremy Jordan as Nick Carraway
Aaron Tveit as Jay Gatsby (I feel like he could pull off any role that Leonardo DiCaprio has ever played)
Laura Osnes as Daisy Buchanan (Come on she would perfect for this role and I kinda wanna hear her pull off Daisy’s “charming voice.”)
Phillipa Soo as Jordan Baker
Ramin Karimloo as Tom Buchanan
Sierra Boggess as Myrtle Wilson
Nick Cordero as George Wilson
Tom Wopat as Meyer Wolfsheim

Tumblr: gateway to great literature.
The Great Gatsby (2013) - “One of Baz’s main design directives for the look and feel of this particular movie was that he didn’t want a nostalgic, sepia-toned New York City of the 1920s. He wanted the New York we created to feel as vibrant, modern, and cutting-edge as it would have felt to Fitzgerald in 1922.“ - Catherine Martin, Production Designer
All these bright, precious things fade so fast… and they don’t come back.
Jack Dawson… Penniless artist who wins a ticket onto Titanic in 1912, attends a first class dinner, develops a taste for the finer things in life, pockets the Heart of the Ocean, survives the sinking, pawns the diamond, spends the following ten years building his wealth and in 1922 moves to West Egg as Jay Gatsby… Millionaire with a shady past and fear of swimming pools.
wake up america
the sexual tension when u and ur crush are online on fb at the same time and u just stare at their lil green dot
and suddenly you know what gatsby felt like
This is actually the most profound and appropriate literary allusion I’ve encountered so far this week.
oh my god
Favorite Titanic scenes: “So, you wanna go to a real party?”
Plot Twist: It’s a Gatsby party.
both ways he ends up dead in the water
and doesn’t get the girl
Or an oscar.
Somehow we always end up here

And that’s how you cut to a wide shot.
