The new Great Gatsby movie is going to be in 3-D? What is wrong with the world?

Well, at least the billboard of Dr. TJ Eckleburg will look very dramatic! Aside from that, I don't get what the point of 3D for this movie is either, but it's being directed by Baz Luhrmann, who does favor bright, eye-popping visuals. I'm sure if it had been in vogue at the time, he would have filmed Moulin Rouge in 3D, just to have a scene with Nicole Kidman floating above the audience on a trapeze in her big entrance.

(I chose Buffy's atomic green dress as an icon, in honor of Gatsby's green light at the end of the dock.)

Ha! Nice!

I am not a fan of 3D in general. The only time I have ever felt like it added to a movie is at amusement parks when the movie lasts for ten minutes tops and it's really all about that pie being flung at your face (yes, I am specifically thinking of the Muppet movie at Disney World). 3D makes everything look dark and murky and I am just not a fan. And even if I was, I still don't think it would be necessary for The Great Gatsby. I just do not understand.

(I LOVE YOUR SYMBOLISM.)

I was going to say it's just Baz Luhrmann, too. He may not be doing what he calls his "Red Curtain Cinema" as he did with Strictly Ballroom, Romeo+Juliet and Moulin Rouge, but he's still a dynamically visual director so 3D might appeal to him on a creative level.

I don't have a symbolic icon, so here's Miss Piggy.

Ugh. I just hate 3D.

But I looove Miss Piggy so yay for that! Here's Kermit!

Wait, what? Are you serious? Ugh. I was so excited for that, too.

And the production stills aren't thrilling me either. I know it's early, but I don't know. Weird.

Maybe the audience will have to duck flying drops of Myrtle's blood.

You just made me snort out loud.

This makes ... even less sense than movie news usually does.

What's next, "Jules and Jim"? "Annie Hall"?

[penny-lane-42.livejournal.com]

Seriously. Seriously.

lol. WHAT?

Sometimes I feel like the world I am living in cannot be real.
