The Senator from Central Casting

Filed under: General — Tags: , — m759 @ 11:10 am

From the above obituary

"A debonair Virginian, Mr. Warner was sometimes called
the senator from central casting; his ramrod military posture,
distinguished gray hair and occasionally overblown
speaking style fit the Hollywood model." — Carl Hulse

Jersey Hymn

Filed under: General — Tags: , , — m759 @ 11:44 am

An upload from Good Friday, 2019

"Daisy, when she comes to tea at Nick's house,
refers to the flowers brought by Gatsby as being
appropriate for a funeral and asks 'Where's the corpse?' 
Gatsby enters immediately thereafter. This foreshadows
what will happen to Gatsby. The dialogue is not in the novel…."

— Discussion of the 2000 TV movie version in
Learning Guide to The Great Gatsby 

Correction to the midrash: 

Sorvino actually says, when there is a knock at the door,

"That must be the corpse."

Jersey girls are tough.
