High School Rememberances

Quoth Lileks:

That’s what I listened to, and watched, while I was working on various things this weekend. Much fun. When all was done I went downstairs for some real movie enjoyment, and noted with delight that the TiVo had recorded “The Great Gatsby,” which somehow I never saw. Script by Coppola! Redford as Gatsby! Extraordinary sets, all infused with that peculiar intense reverence the 70s had for the 20s and 30s.

Short review: it’s horrible.

Long review: it’s really horrible.

I was forced at gunpoint to watch this dreadful piece of filth in high school. James is right on the money...the film is pretty much a torture device. I can here Jack Bauer already: "You will tell me what I want to know, it's just a matter of how many scenes it will take."
