Today's dose of blasphemy

[kellinator]

As some of you know, my favorite novel is The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald. I love it beyond all reason. It's pure poetry. I wish I had a huge poster of the cover hanging over my mantel. (I wish I had a mantel, but that's another story.)

So imagine my reaction to the news from blistermoth:

Paris Hilton in line to play Daisy Buchanan in Gatsby remake

If anyone needs me, I'll be dry-heaving. Even Daisy Buchanan isn't that vapid!

as long as it's not a movie version of the beautiful and the damned (which is such a better book) I'm not concerned.

if this does go forward, I wonder if this new version will start being shown when schools study gatsby. the teen boys might pay more attention.

and this probably counts as minute 10 or 15 for her so with any luck it will put her that much closer to obscurity
