the great gatsby official movie trailer.

Guess what was posted yesterday? The Great Gatsby movie trailer. (cue obnoxious squeals)

Pleas, hit play, sit back, and get excited. 

now, can we please talk about:

the music. oh my. it's so...dramatic and perfect. 

leo. is so perfect. 'nuff said.

carey and tobey are so perfect for their roles too. 

the costumes are to die for. love.

and the half-second glimpse we get of the famous billboard, which displays the eyes of Doctor T.J. Eckleburg, is brilliant.

now excuse me while I go watch it for a sixth time, now.

The Great Gatsby Movie Stills

Look at these beauties! AHHHH! Finally some stills from the Great Gatsby movie!

I saw these last night and had to show you today - and when I woke up I found that miss Lauren had beat me to it! ;) I'm convinced we have the same brain or something..

  

Ahhh, I'm in love! I adore it!!! Does this make your excitement build even more or what?

Now I think I need to go back and reread the book. Don't cringe or call 911, I'm not crazy. Entirely...

snow white and the huntsman movie

Another movie post. There seems to be a lot of good movies coming out soon...hm. Weird.

Anyway. This movie looks fabulous, I tell you! I'm interested to see how Kirsten Stewart does in it, if she can not be socially awkward..we will see, I guess. And I hope it's a good rendition......I am quite excited to see it...this is a big deal, too, folks. I don't exactly get excited over movies that often....here's the trailer!

What do you think? Opinions? Thoughts?

the great gatsby movie

Okay, so can we please, pretty pretty please talk about how excited I am for this movie?

I know, I know, "But it's the great gatsby....that book is awful..."

My retaliation? "But it's Leonardo DiCaprio and Tobey Maguire....hellllllloooooo!" Observe:

Leo is playin Jay Gatsby {thank you Jesus!} and Tobey is playing Nick Carraway...ah. PERFECTION.

But back to the book...I honestly didn't mind it too much! I had to read it at the end of school last year, and it wasn't half bad. But it all depends on the reader, I suppose. The book really sheds a very bright light on that time period and what was/wasn't acceptable...it's startling the things that take place in the novel.

Anyway. 

Here is the IMBD page for it - check it out and tell me what you think! I want to know if anyone else is excited for this!! :) Also - I can't find the trailer anywhere on the web yet...however I've seen some form of a trailer on TV a couple times...if you find one, feel free to shoot me a tweet or email with the link :)

confession time...oh dear me.

{Warning: this post may or may not take up ten minutes of your time}

So....I hope that you do not judge me by what I am about to tell you...because it is kind of sad and depressing...

I am going to see the new Twilight movie tomorrow.....

I know. What is wrong with me????

Here's the deal...my best friend LOVES the series. Like...she's not obsessed, but she loves the books and movies so much...And I don't really love it..ha...I tried to read the books, and HATED them..and I hate the fact that the movies are such a big thing, and that everybody likes/loves/worships them...but if I put all that aside, they're not that bad...and the most pathetic part, compared to most television shows and other movies, they're fairly low in inappropriate content...I mean, aside from the whole vampire werewolf thing...for example.

The Notebook. Such a good movie, right? As long as you fast forward through the first awkward scene in their future house where nothing actually happens it's just incredibly awkward...{I said that already, I know..} and then the second scene/scenes when they are both older....Nope, still not a good movie..

Lets be honest. The whole movie is centered around the immorality that the world has deemed O.K. I mean, Noah asks Allie out, they go out, date, break up a million times but then get back together after he or she kisses the other...Really? I personally believe you should date to marry - and that means you have no reason to date in high school, because who gets married in high school?? That's another post though...moving on.

Anyway.

Then she has to leave, and falls in love with another man, gets engaged...but suddenly, there's Noah again, and all those emotions come back...which leads to her being unfaithful to her fiance...ruining her relationship with him, which isn't all that bad, cause it was centered a lot around money, partially from her parents pressuring her to be involved with him for the money...lame. So many problems reside in that short-not-even-close-enough-to-a-full-description blip right there, alone!

Do you see what I mean? It's really sad when a movie placed in the forties is more immoral {for the most part} than a movie placed in the first decade of the 21st century...because you and I both know how screwed up today's world is...Yes, Bella struggles with feelings for both Edward and Jacob, but always knows she loves Edward...right? {I am no twilight expert, I could be getting this all wrong. I just watch the movies..} And they save sex for marriage - something that I can say I haven't seen done in a movie in years. Granted, I don't go to the movies all that often cause they are 45 minutes away, and I don't watch a ton of TV in general, but still.

Look at the shows on TV these days...The Secret Life of the American Teenager? Appalling. The Playboy Club? I have never even considered watching that show, but the previews tell me enough. Terrible. Bones, even, one of my favorite shows ever! Or what about MadMen? That show, I feel, though I love the idea of it, is centered around infidelity. It's terrible. Twilight definitely has it's issues, I know...but compared to other things, it probably won't be that bad...I did read a review done by a Christian site on the movie, and they said there are some inappropriate-for-the-movies scenes, but, it is a different kind of inappropriate because it's done under the blanket of marriage - I have a feeling I'll just put my head under my sweatshirt and tell them to save it for off camera time...gosh.

So I'm going...and I'm a little scared....I didn't go with her to see the other ones...but her and her older sister are "dragging" {not really} me to go with them...I'll letcha know how it goes...

Besides, if I'm going to bash something, I want to know what I'm talking about...that's logical, right? Right.

And I think I just wrote the longest post I've posted on my blog yet...well. I don't blame you if you didn't read the whole thing...
