I absolutely hated Great Gatsby when I had to read it in Grade 11. Then we had to watch the movie with DiCaprio and Tobey Maguire and that was even worse.

Worst movie ever. I wish I had that time back!I absolutely hated Great Gatsby when I had to read it in Grade 11. Then we had to watch the movie with DiCaprio and Tobey Maguire and that was even worse.
If that isn't an indictment on audiences then I don't know what is.That movie is disaster. Like, it is so bad that it deserves to be studied in film school.
I mean, Baz Luhrmann is an awful director in general and I pretty much dislike all of his movies, but that movie was so bad that nobody has given Luhrmann another opportunity to direct a major picture since Gatsby bombed, which was SIX YEARS ago.
It's a movie so bad that I forced myself to watch the entire thing, because I couldn't believe that anyone spent one hundred million dollars on it, let alone make a profit on it (which it did)

Also, they purposefully? cast Tobey Maguire as Nick, who also hasn't really done anything since Gatsby I think.

I think that Luhrmann had enough of a "fanbase" from Moulin Rouge that people were willing to follow him on this journey.
I mean, that's the only explanation I can think of, but you'd think those people had learned their lesson after suffering through Luhrmann's "Australia", which was also objectively awful.
I think people thought this would be Moulin Rouge 2?
Poor Toby.
The guy is good in roles that his type of acting calls for (like... He was good in movies like Pleasantville and Cider House Rules) but the guy gets forced in some REALLY poorly cast movies. His agent is either really good, or really bad. I haven't figured out which one it is though.
Context for those who haven't seen the movie (which I highly recommend) or read the book.Tobey kind of got indirectly lambasted in Molly's Game. Gives the impression that he could maybe be a bit "difficult" in real life, but who knows. Still seems to be far and away the number 2 in terms of career accomplishments in Leo's "***** Posse" (what a dumb name...and that's coming from someone with 69 in their username).
I'm going to a work (nurse+doctor) Christmas party tonight, but I don't want to dress up too much. Do you guys think that nice jeans + Christmas sweater is fine? Do I need a button up?

Just wear a 3 piece suit instead of tux if you want to dress down.
Whats the venue? Basically any company Christmas party I've ever been to has been a semi-formal affair for the most part.
I'd assume for that group, suit jacket /blazer would be a minimum?

Our unit has two parties (mostly so lots of people can go to something). But one is at a pub and generally pretty casual. The other is basically a big wedding... So you gotta dress to impress. Lol.
This year I'm missing all Christmas parties.

Ours was like right in between. I'm glad I basically wore a suit, haha. I was also only one of 4 males :O
