Jay Gatsby

Jay Gatsby orders an Americano and calls for ‘drinks on the house’ for everyone else in the Starbucks. He then sits at the window looking longingly across the street at the other Starbucks.

You’re not a REAL Gatsby fan unless you’ve read the book. Unless you’ve read every Fitzgerald book. Unless you’ve read their early drafts, mailed to you by Fitzgerald himself. Unless you first read Gatsby when Scott handed it to you in a Parisian bar in 1925, apologising for the cover when he saw you disapproved. Unless you embarked on an intense friendship with him that culminated in rumours that you two were having a clandestine homosexual affair. Unless you once took him to the Louvre so you could prove to him that his penis wasn’t any smaller than those on the statues there. Unless Scott turned up, drunk and uninvited, at your house so many times that you had to move more than once. Unless you continued to exchange increasingly infrequent and terse letters with him for the rest of his life, then missed his funeral because you were in Cuba. Unless you called his literary talent “as natural as the pattern that was made by the dust on a butterfly’s wings” and won a Nobel prize and wrote For Whom The Bell Tolls. That’s right, you poser, if you’re not Ernest Hemingway you can fuck straight off right now. We’re on to you.

IM REALLY EXCITED ABOUT THIS SHIRT

I NEED THIS SHIRT

you can buy it HOT DAMN

so every year after the juniors finish reading The Great Gatsby my high school english teacher throws a Gatsby party at his huge house and everyone shows up in period clothing and Charlestons to 20s music and my english teacher just wears a suit and stands off to the side staring wistfully out the window the entire night

you guys think I’m joking??

you know how movies can have effects that are like 400% realistic and there’s just no way you can wrap your head around the fact that it’s not real

and then some movies have really really great effects but there’s just something still kinda obviously fake about it that you just know it’s cgi

even though there’s very obviously the technology and budget to have perfect special effects for Gatsby, they still kept that little something, that too perfect flow that makes it pretty obvious that it’s cgi. and it’s got this dreamy quality to it and it’s pretty much perfect considering the point of the story is this foggy dream-like hysteria clouding Gatsby’s mind and just i love movies

This is amazing

Great Gatsby captioned exactly how it happened.

what did gatsby say when myrtle got hit by a car

oopsie daisy

i seriously expected this punchline to be "old sport"

unpopular opinion: i hated the soundtrack of the great gatsby WITH THE FILM. by itself, i don’t mind listening to it. just. god, WHY when you have all of the 1920s greatest jazz at hand would you choose hip hop?

The green light that Gatsby stares at is the gleam of an Oscar that Leo will never recieve
