The Useless Critic 2.0

"The Great Gatsby" came out yesterday, which marks a moment I've waited for most of my life.  I understand reviews have been mixed and Baz Luhrmann is a little goofy, but I don't care. This is worth it.  I'll probably see it this weekend and then I'll likely post a shapeless review of sorts as per normal. Right now though, some jerk woke me up and I feel bleak so Ima review the soundtrack, SONG BY SONG. You're all such lucky people! Baz Luhrmann films, if not known for camp and being over the top, are known for their soundtracks. "Romeo + Juliet," "Moulin Rouge." The Jay-Z curated "Gatsby" soundtrack is no different. It's a stream of hits...and some misses.  Here are my thoughts. Please note it's almost 4 A.M. in Phoenix. No, I'm not drunk. I was asleep until 1:15-ish when some frat goons came running by my apartment, gabbing. Assholes. "100$ Bill" - Jay-Z: I like this track a whol...

OH MY GODDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD ramble:  ajdrekrekrejerakere

Yelle's new single is out, somewhere. love you Yelle. check my hypemachine: pretty sure that's on it. also, this winter feels very much the National to me. very Matt Berninger, unshaven, moody. hipsters and people I don't like: please don't shit all over the National anymore, okay? thank you. you ruined Arcade Fire, Muse, Radiohead and Coldplay for me. well Coldplay has Chris Martin which inadvertantly ruined it. oh, who am I kidding, the National will only always remind me of Dan. Baz Luhrmann is directing the new version of the Great Gatsby which is slated to star Leonard DiCaprio, Tobey Maguire and Carey Mulligan. it will be in 3D. ??? so the car can hit me smack dab in the middle of the movie theater? huh? AND WHERE IS KEIRA KNIGHTLEY SHE WAS SUPPOSED TO BE IN THIS. it should be better than that version starring Mia Farrow and Robert Redford from the 70s. I love F. Scott Fitzgerald so much I would write fanfiction about him and that's not a light thing for me...
