The Aviator
 

Not a horror movie, but I just back from seeing The Aviator and holy shit, was it good.

DiCaprio is brilliant. He nails just how incredibly tortured hughes was. and Cate Blanchett . . . hse just nails Katherine Hepburn to a tee.

If you haven't seen it, I highly recommend it. Scorcese is still on top of his game in my opinion.

Scorsese is a F'n genius but I think Clint out did him this time Jamie Foxx is going to win best actor, Clint is going to win best director and Hilary Swank is practicly a shoe in for best actress but Scorsese is probably going to walk away with the best picture. Overall I think Million DB is a better movie and since both Clint and Martin have been screwed so many times I don't know who deserves it more but tomorrow should be a good day for the both of 'em.

Clint won for Unforgiven. Scorsese has lost. Every time. Once to fucking Kevin Cosnar. Made the best movie of all time and didn't even get a fucking nomination. Plus, I liked The Aviator better anyways.


Of course, neither are the best movie of the year, or even second best. Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind and The Machinist both own them, and Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind owns The Machinist (and most other movies, from any year)

I agree with you, I'm just going by what's nominated, and since Clint does have one(he should have 4) then I guess Scorsese does deserve it more(since he should have 7 by now).

I haven't seen the Machinist yet, for whatever reason it didn't come to theatres here in New Orleans.

I think Swank out did Winslet but other than that Eternal Sunshine was a hell of a film and should be nominated and without a doubt should but probably wont get the screenplay oscar (I wish I could come up with a script like that). I still don't know why Jim Carrey doesn't get nominated for anything, I guess the academy just can't get over Ace Ventura and Fire Marshall Bill.

have you seen Million DB?

screw the oscars anyway.

after last year I decided that I'm not going to watch or care about them anymore.

why not? what happened last year besides that overweight Kevin Smith winning everything.

sorry miscounted, he should have 10
