Bruce--
Yeah, the new version of The Great Gatsby features style over substance. But then, so does every version, including F. Scott Fitzgerald's original. (Because I'm not an F. Scott fan, that makes me pretty much a heretic here in Minnesota, where he has many worshippers at his altar.) Baz Luhrman (sp?) specializes in style over substance, so for me, it's a marriage made in purgatory. Or something.
Oddly enough, the only Luhrman entertainment I actually found entertaining was Australia. And that pretty much bombed, if memory serves.
