Anonymous asked: Will you elaborate on your views/opinion of KJP?
What specifically do you want me to elaborate on?
Anonymous asked: On that Gatsby note. It seems, at least to me, that much of our age group loves the Luhrmann film and now are calling themselves the modern Gatsby, wish they were loved how Gatsby loves Daisy, want to throw Gatsby-inspired parties and have that life, etc. So I guess this is a 2 parter; 1) do you feel the same way as these "Gatsby fans"? and 2) What did you think of the movie?
1) No I do not feel the same way. The book is a critique of both the social elite and the people who aspire to climb the social ladder. Fitzgerald meant to show that the grass is not greener on the other side. These people have missed this concept entirely and are distracted by the very glamour Fitzgerald tries to dispel.
2) The movie was compelling to watch but I think key details, the pace, and the point of the book were thrown over for visual, musical, and stylistic showmanship. My biggest problem with it was how much I hate that real houses weren’t used, that really cheapened the film in my eyes.

Thank you for the probing insight into my life grey face.
Anonymous asked: Since the popular stance is hating on KJP, the unpopular opinion would be liking KJP. So KJP, Y/N?
Kiel James Patrick is the real life Jay Gatsby. He is a self made man but has a sketchy past and has lied about things to get where he is today. He didn’t go to college and leads a pretty staged and fake existence. Most people don’t seem to concern themselves with facts and would rather buy into the glossy images as they are mesmerized by a life they dream of too. It’s a no for me, sorry.
Anonymous asked: Leonardo DiCaprio isn't that great. yes or no?
I think he is a good actor. I think he is probably more exulted than he should be but that’s life. Gangs of New York, The Departed, and The Aviator are great films though.
