I wanna see a Baz Luhrmann adaptation of Stephen King that plays up the “load-bearing lyrics from retro radio hits” angle

I like that they play up the aesthetic angle so hard you barely notice that tumblr ads have started pitching us weapons

inevitable considering the amount of barely concealed homicidal rage around here

can’t wait ‘til tumblrinas start showing off their custom kintype cerakoted Berettas

All Baz Luhrmann as shit

When do they give Baz Luhrmann a Marvel movie?

Romeo + Juliet (1996) dir. Baz Luhrmann

Oh my god those are heelys

I want people to remember that, iirc, this is still considered the most faithful movie version of Romeo and Juliet

Romeo + Juliet (1996) dir. Baz Luhrmann

I still think Baz Luhrmann taking his Romeo + Juliet dialogue from the original script and having the direction and visual design bear the weight of the conceit was really well done

and that with that and Moulin Rouge he did takes on the grand old American cinematic genre of the musical, and with Australia and Gatsby the Technicolor epic, that were basically honest updates incorporating all the post-stagey advances in moving pictures from Riefenstahl to MTV

and that that merits some respect
