Watched The Great Gatsby last night (the 2000 made for tv version). Was about as ungood as expected. Paul Rudd, as I predicted, made an admirable Nick Carraway, and the film did do some things right by including a hefty dose of Nick's narration verbatim from the book. But Gatsby was laughably unimpressive, Daisy seemed mildly mentally challenged, and the whole movie felt like someone was doing "The Great Gatsby: The Highlights" rather than building an overall film. Guess that's the drawbacks of tv. Of course, I hear the Redford version is similarly awful but for different reasons.
Seeing Role Models tonight. I hear good things. And again, Paul Rudd.

also, snl tonight which featured none other than mr. sexypants rudd.
Make sure to post a review of "Role Models"...I'm curious.
Sadly, Mr. Rudd was underused on SNL and he wasn't overwhelmingly awesome like he usually is.
yeah, and justin timberlake totally stole the show.
