I'm so excited for this to come out.

Buuuut I'm thinking maybe I need to read the book (again, but I can't remember it to save my life) and then I think reading

Ugh, dilemmas.

    I'm in the literary minority but I hate that book so hard.  I would rip it to shreds, then painstakingly tape it back together so I could stomp on it and then burn it. 

    I have many Great Gatsby feels.

    Sorry I ruined your Black Panther Party. 

    Carry on.

    :D

    You don't understand the appeal of Benedict Cumberbatch / think he's fug / don't know who he is? WATCH SHERLOCK.  Until you do, your negative opinion of him will not be taken seriously.

    I know I should re-read it too, because I never actually read it when I was required to. I got so confused between all the characters and relationships though.

    That's why I can't remember shiit. It's so confusing. I read the wikpedia on it and it was a giant mess.

    I still want to see it because I love me some Leo.

    for help remembering characters: go here. Warning, it does contain spoilers.
     

    That helps. I seriously can't remember anything from the book.

    Read it, didn't understand what the big deal was about it. Forgot about it. Will watch movie only to see Art Deco shiit.

    That book is horribly depressing. Don't read it. If you want refresher, go on SparkNotes.

    Also, the movie just doesn't interest me simply because of who the director is. I can't stand Baz Luhrmann's movies. "Moulin Rouge"? Gag me. I'd rather listen to The unWanted than watch that crap. The director might as well have been Michael Bay, who is well-known for ruining my effing childhood (see: Transformers, upcoming TMNT movie, rumored Thundercats movie).

    I HAZ FEELINGS.

    I didn't realize that was the same director. I guess when an big band/orchestra version of "Crazy in Love" was on the soundtrack I should have known...
