GATSBY
I have waited a long time for this movie to come out, sure there have been others, but this one is going to be good. So much eye candy to look at and I'm not really talking about Mr. Dicaprio. I'm talking lots of champs, costumes, bling, etc!! Well and maybe Mr. D.....I think he will make a fine Jay Gatsby! I am also really excited about the soundtrack! Jay Z, Sia, The xx, Florence, etc. Let's just say I am ecstatic about this movie!
I read this book in high school for AR (accelerated reader), did anyone else have to read books to an extra grade in English class or was that just a small town thing? Anyways, I decided to reread it again and I love how it transports me!! I'm also thinking about rereading brave new world, now that would be a cool movie, Hunger Games kind of reminds me of a spin off of Brave New World. Okay, sorry I'm having problems staying on track here, lol.
The Great Gatsby comes out on Friday and to celebrate I thought I would share a fun twenties style cocktail!
"A twist on the classic Champagne Cocktail (a roaring-twenties favorite), this drink adds green chartreuse and a twist of lime in reference to the characters' preferred spirit, and that ever-present green light, illuminating their garden parties."

Are you going to go see this movie?!
I'm going to see this movie next Friday with my friends from back home. I'm very excited! I love Baz Luhrman movies, he always has such a fantastical outlook! The only problem is that they usually have a sad ending...Romeo & Juliet, Moulin Rouge....This movie will not be an exception. I just hope the ending won't depress me!
ReplyDeleteThe drink looks delish! Thanks for the recipe!
Yes, he does, but I think it was cool that him and Leo got to work together again. Leo was so young in Romeo & Juliet!!
DeleteYummmm... I'm excited for Gatsby, too! My husband refuses to see it and I am out of town this weekend so hopefully I can find someone who either waits to see it or wants to see it again. Let me know if it's worth the price of admission =)
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure Greg will want to go either, lol. I am hoping to make it this weekend at some point so I will let you know!! If not then we should go and see it together!
DeleteWe are dying to see this movie too!!
