    * * * PSA : NOT MINSLEY TORTIMER * * *

    Follow these steps and learn how to identify trolls who impersonate Gawker commenters.

    The user on this page going by the handle "Minsley Tortimer" is not the "real" or original Minsley Tortimer.

    1. Go to the page where Minsley Tortimer was executed.

    2. Click the link where it says Executed: Minsley Tortimer.

    3. You will see that this users ability to comment is still not enabled.

    4. Now, look at the URL of the real Minsley’s page. It should be this:

         http://gawker.com/people/azoth/

    Why azoth? Because that is evidently the user ID that the real Minsley Tortimer entered on registering several months ago. Now, click on the linked handle of the recent comments by the fake "Minsley Tortimer," and you’ll see that the URL of this user’s page is:

         http://gawker.com/people/MinsleyTortimer/

    Not the same URL = not the same user. The imposter stole the name and her avatar, but he cannot steal the username, and thus the URL is not the same. You can use this technique to ferret out trolls who impersonate other users on this or other Gawker websites. Simply find a comment that you know to be authentic, click the handle of that comment, and check the URL of the user’s page.

    5. Question: Who is the user glitter.panda, who claims to be the real Minsley Tortimer? Answer: The same troll. By means of obfuscation, he hopes you’ll think either his "Minsley Tortimer" or "glitter.panda" is the real Minsley Tortimer. He doesn’t care, as long as you’re fooled.


    A message to the glitter.panda et alia: I really don’t give a shit, actually. I’m just outing you for the lulz.

    I was skeptical, but... maybe the nation really does need a screen adaptation of the most overrated shitpile in modern literature.

    And yet a good screen adaptation of The Great Gatsby really needs to be done.

    Woody Allen is the director who should do a Great Gatsby.

    James Marden would be a terrible choice. I'm kind of blanking at the moment, but offhand I think that if Robert Downey Jr. were younger and taller he'd be the PERFECT Gatsby.

    Baz Luhrman? I don't think he has the light touch needed. I'll bet Stephen Fry could do it (Vile Bodies/Bright Young Things was great.) Someone should try to get it right. I love he 1974 version of Gatsby, even though it has plenty of problems, and the Toby Stephens/Mira Sorvino one wasn't right either.

    God, Nicole Kidman would make an absolutely horrible Daisy. She's a beautiful woman, but maybe the least sexy actress alive.

    If he does, it's certain he will miss the entire point of the novel, just like Clayton version did.

    Is there anyone, male or female, that finds Nicole Kidman appealing, besides as a walking clothes hanger. (She wears clothers well) Here you have a sexed-up Hugh Jackman and you have Nicole Kidman as the other romantic lead?
