Baz Luhrmann: Allowing high school English students to half-ass it since 1996.

Baz Luhrmann period movies always look phony and shallow to me.

do you know what the theme of this book is

The poster makes me want to enroll in the Jean Grey School for Higher Learning.

Yes?

It was just an observation on how plastic his movies look, really.

[Foggy's Pal]

Sure it looks pretty but Luhrman is one of the most annoying storytellers in the biz.

I love Luhrman- Moulin Rouge was amazing and Romeo and Juliet was unique

See the eyes of Doctor T. J. Eckleburg made it....think that might be the thing I remember most from reading it back in my junior year at High School.

[Treacle]

I'm there.

This could be the worst movie in the world, and I'd still watch it for the costumes.

[GrandeMaestro Fünke]

Looks beautiful, great cast, but still have very low expectations after that trailer.

[Taxman]

It would take alot to fuck up that perfect story with such a great cast, but if anyone can do it, it would be Baz Luhrman.

Every Great Gatsby movie has been crap to date. Makes me laugh when people claim that the Watchmen movie "ruined" the comic.

Looks beautiful, great cast, but still have very low expectations after that trailer.

The main thing lowering my expections is the title.

[King of Mars]

Leo's commitment to butchering accents is truly amazing. It's like he won't do a movie unless he can mangle a dialect.
