The Great Gatsby (2013) dir. Baz Luhrmann

New York, 1922, the tempo of the city had changed sharply. Stocks reached record peaks, and Wall Street booms a steady golden roar. The buildings were higher, the parties were bigger, the morals were looser, and the ban on alcohol had backfired, making the liquor cheaper. Wall Street was luring the young and ambitious, and I was one of them.

What a world we live in

It’s been impossible to miss this news, but here it is – the sentence I have been waiting to write since I started doing online journalism (okay, fine, that’s dramatic and not totally true, but also not totally untrue): Leonardo DiCaprio finally won the coveted Best Actor Oscar for his role in The Revenant. Yes. Leo, the man who inspired thousands of memes about an Oscar statute just out of reach. Last night was Leo’s night, and it was magical. It was so magical that even the people behind the scenes, who had been loudly and rudely playing off winners’ speeches at a steady rate all night, let him speak as long as he wanted to. The entire audience immediately gave him a standing ovation, Kate Winslet cried, Leo smiled like an angelic God, I screamed so loud I woke up half of my family, and the Internet went crazy.
