The Great Gatsby, and other matters…

Today, we saw the 3rd Great Gatsby trailer on the iTunes movie trailers site. The design looks stunningly beautiful. Leonardo DiCaprio looks very good, as does Carey Mulligan. The movie is directed by Baz Luhrmann, who also directed Moulin Rouge and Romeo + Juliet. I heard in a review that Tobey Maguire reads some passages from The Great Gatsby aloud in the movie.

In football news, Bayern Munchen are now champions of Europe, after beating Borussia Dortmund in the final on Saturday night. I watched the first half, and Dortmund looked great, pressing very high up the field and shooting several times. Unfortunately for them, Bayern's goalkeeper, Neuer, was too good, and they weren't able to score in the first half, eventually tiring and leaving too many gaps at the back.

In America, Manchester City and Chelsea are touring. I think they played each other twice, Manchester City winning both matches.
