How Baz Luhrmann outrageously sucked up to
When he rented a house opposite Anna Wintour, the editor of Vogue, in Greenwich Village, and they shared a garden, he redesigned her Halloween party.
“We used to throw a few skeletons out there and hope for the best,” Ms. Wintour said. “Baz and C.M. moved in and just turned it into this incredible Halloween fantasy.”
“We’re English, we do silly games like murder games and disco night, and the level of detail and amazing costumes they brought to it,” Ms. Wintour continued. “He’ll take an idea and just lift it into a whole other stratosphere.”
In 2018, when Mr. Luhrmann was a guest at the wedding of Bee Shaffer, Ms. Wintour’s daughter, at the family home in Long Island, he took it on himself to play wedding planner.
“He rehearsed my daughter over and over again for her wedding. She said she was probably the bride that slept the best before her wedding because she was so exhausted,” Ms. Wintour said. “He’s talking about the entrances and exits, sightlines, and all from the kindness of his heart.”
Mr. Luhrmann offered his philosophy: “I believe, as Leonardo da Vinci did, that parties are an art form. Weddings R Us.”
Even when he was in Australia, he helped Ms. Wintour with the Met Gala, calling “to talk about a particular shade of red for the red carpets or whether a blue stripe was right.”

What's the punch line to this overlong dirge?

"Then Baz Luhrmann died horribly", it is to be hoped, R1.

And here many of us thought he actually had stopped "directing and writing movies" and become a full-time party planner at least a decade ago, OP.

He used to be attractive until he turned himself into a pillow faced freakshow.

It's a Pete Burns situation. He married his best friend and creative partner.

I remember when "Everybody's Free To Wear Sunscreen" was a fucking radio hit.

Sounds to me from the other things Wintour said that it was Catherine who did that.

CM is key to his aesthetic.

It's insane this man pretends to be straight.

He doesn't though. He's just married with kids but never said he was straight. They have an open marriage.

Aren't you supposed to have nice skin and nice muscles if you wear a sleeveless t-shirt?

His movies are cgi garbage and his face is as bad as his boring movies. Elvis movie blew.

I could swear he was gay. Lol. This is the first I’ve ever read about a wife and kids.

What's the line in Boys in the Band about how it takes a fairy to make something pretty?

Baz has worded it this way: He and Catherine Martin are "a real couple [who] have never denied themselves all [sexual] possibilities." I.e., each is bi-sexual.
Supposedly he and CM live on separate floors.
One last note: In a recent interview with Austin the interviewer mentioned that during filming the actor moved into the Australian apartment of Baz and CM. Austin did not correct him. Heretofore AB would always refer to his "Elvis" home away from home as "my apartment." 🤔
There's more, but Baz's face when looking at Austin pretty much conveys it all. 😍

Baz' face has trouble conveying anything.
