I actually really enjoyed the 2013 Great Gatsby filmed adaptation. I thought it was fun, stylish, emotional, and Dicaprio did a great job, as did Tobey. Purists may sneer at the soundtrack, but I have it downloaded.

Same for all the reasons you stated, soundtrack included. Though I may be biased, Moulin Rouge is my favorite movie, so it didn't surprise me when I enjoyed Baz Luhrman's take on The Great Gatsby.

I fell in love with Baz Luhrmann films when I saw Romeo + Juliet and it was hated by so many theatre and classics purists. His films are pretty good at selling fantasy to the modern audiences, and that's how legacies carry on.

I still listen to it's soundtrack!

I've been doing this for over a decade, not because of the grimdark, obvi, but because endings have been migrating from actually being part of the story to being a spectacle or shock, and having nothing to do with the themes of the story at all. It just ruins all the characterization, plots, and themes for the whole thing and I found myself getting angry at putting all that time into something that was going to be trashed at the last minute.

Examples?

I didn't really LOVE grimdark, but it was acceptable as one of many choices. But yeah, for the same reasons, it's not something I enjoy anymore. Ditto media where a large percentage of the characters are assholes.

I still believe the shapeshifter character in Star Trek VI was only written into the script in order to have their death be used as trailer-bait. It is so blatant, and their death so perfunctory and at odds with the construction of the rest of the plot that that is the only explanation.

I also really liked it! It suffered a lot with pacing, imo, since it went from going to be a movie to being a show. But I did really like all of its ideas and how they played out. I got really fond of Third Sister, and kind of hope she shows up again.

Absolute Batman is just Batman comics for people who would rather be reading The Punisher or Dredd comics instead. It is Absolute Shite.

I would think the other way around - if something with a particular vibe does well, the proposals for other similar things get picked up.

I know he was meant to be the child friendly star of the show, as the shy insecure nerd/schoolboy, but I never did relate to Wellington Womble. I always loved Orinoco Womble and Great Uncle Bulgaria more. Wellington was just too boring.

I have so much nostalgia for the original He-Man cartoon because I used to watch it with my little brother on Saturday mornings. I don't think the show would stand the test of time and it was pretty corny, I'll admit.

But the theme song still slaps. I heard it for the first time it years when the 2026 He-Man trailer dropped and got all teary-eyed. Now I need to call my little brother. (We're both in our 40s now.)
