I'm about to rant about Gatsby so if people don't wanna hear it... Skip this post.
The Great Gatsby is actually my all time favorite book. I own a special edition copy and have read it at least 30 times (I'm not even exaggerating). People are basically ruining it for me with the movie.
1. Don't tweet "OMG why did they let that happen to Leo in Gatsby, they shoulda had a different ending." ARE YOU KIDDING ME!?! Pick up a book and read it.
2. People are quoting the movie in every status and tweet. Granted I'm glad it's becoming popular but all the quotes they're using are from the book. Those quotes have been around for years people. Again, read a book.
3. The twitter accounts made surrounding the movie like the fake ones that just tweet dumb stuff and people retweet it... No. Stop.
4. Someone tweeted that the movie was amazing and they'll probably never read the book because it can't be better than the movie. LIKE WHAT!? No. Read the book people... Please.
I will say that they did an incredible job with the movie. I was impressed with much of it but disappointed with others as I usually am with books that become movies. The casting was great but sometimes I wish it wasn't Leo as Gatsby even though he made a great Gatsby because girls are straight fan girling over him and not caring about the amazing character he played.
I'm done now. Sorry people.
