Leonardo DiCaprio in The Great Gatsby

I’ve never seen someone look so fierce & angry while posed next to pastel macaroons. Leo can do anything!

This movie will either be more painful than any death, and a more significant event than most people will experience, 
or it will Romeo + Juliet.

Brave New World (1932) by Aldous Huxley
Publisher: Vintage Books
Far in the future, the World Controllers have created the ideal society. Through clever use of genetic engineering, brainwashing and recreational sex and drugs, all its members are happy consumers. Bernard Marx seems alone in harbouring an ill-defined longing to break free. A visit to one of the few remaining Savage Reservations, where the old, imperfect life still continues, may be the cure of his distress…
Huxley’s ingenious fantasy of the future sheds a blazing light on the present and is considered to be his most enduring masterpiece.

Actors are basically drag queens. People will tell you they act because they want to heal mankind or, you know, explore the nature of the human psyche. Yes, maybe. But basically we just want to put on a frock and dance.” - Colin Firth

How the signs tell you to shut up:

  • Aries: Shut up.
  • Taurus: Will shove food in your mouth. If they were desperate enough to give their food away, that is.
  • Gemini: I'm bored. *walks away*
  • Cancer: They don't. They'd rather suffer than hurt your feelings.
  • Leo: Will make whiney noises until you are silent.
  • Virgo: Will make comments such as 'mmm' or 'yeah' until you realise that the conversation is going nowhere.
  • Libra: Will smile at you politely whilst swearing at you inside their head.
  • Scorpio: Will slap you round the face and promptly walk off.
  • Sagittarius: A simple 'Nobody cares, twit,' and a kick in the shin will suffice.
  • Capricorn: I have work to do. *leaves*
  • Aquarius: Will stop talking altogether, eventually hoping that you'll do the same.
  • Pisces: I'm sorry, but could you please be quiet...? -pause- I'M SORRY! DID I HURT YOUR FEELINGS? DO YOU NEED A HUG? *bursts into tears*
