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.)

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.

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

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

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

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