THREE THINGS TO BE VERY, VERY EXCITED ABOUT

Leo! Carey Mulligan looking dainty and beautiful! The 20's in New York! Beautiful usage of a Kanye West song! I can't wait, wait, wait to see the Baz Luhrman directed parties and the outfits. Also, I'm very much hoping that this'll be the chance for Leo to win an Oscar. OVERALL, I'M PSYCHED.

Honestly, my heart fluttered when I heard that Tarantino was directing a movie and it was going to be with Leo (so much love for that man.) I can tell from the trailer that this movie is going to be filled with so much bad-assery (like when Jamie Foxx says "I like the way you die, boy." while wearing a blue suit) And the usual Tarantino wonderfulness, like quick dialogues and a good amount of blood (how good is it when they film the cotton flowers being sprayed with blood?!) SO GOOD. 

And last, but definitely definitely not least, is the movie adaption of a book that's been my favorite since I was 13. Despite not super loving the cast (Emma Watson as Sam? Really?), I burst into tears when I saw the trailer. Hopefully, the movie won't disappoint, and will include scenes from when they play Rocky Horror or the first time Charlie gets high. I was worried that making it into a movie would take away some of the introspectiveness that's so characteristic of the book (since the story is told in letters), but a narrative voice-over will probably work just as well. Honestly, I just love the book so much that I'm going to try my best not to worry about small details when I watch it. I also really hope that the movie will have a killer soundtrack. And I can already tell that Patrick (Ezra Miller!!) is going to be my favorite character.
