Sunday Afternoon Movie
The Great Gatsby.
I finally understand re-makes. I would like to see a re-make of The Great Gatsby.
From the most recent issue of The New York Review of Books: "The Oracle of Our Unease," an essay by Sarah Churchwell, October 8, 2020.
So, I'll watch the 2013 re-make of "The Great Gatsby," starring Leonardo DiCaprio, et al. Like Sunset Boulevard, the movie begins with the voice-over.
Just Waitin'
