I'm on the fence where Tina Fey is concerned. A lot of her stuff makes me laugh, some of it comes of as pretentious and douchey. WTF seems like a lesser of two evils. I'd take it over a majority of chick flicks. Mrs. KSB usually rewards me if sit through a chick movie without bitching. Maybe it'll work out for you.

Everytime I see Tina Fey I want to fill in that scar on her jaw with my baby batter. I think she's hilarious. And hot.

I saw WTF this weekend, I thought it was worth seeing. I thought she accurately represented the reporters I worked with down range, well meaning but clueless. I also think she's hot. She's got a naughty good girl look. Get a few tequila shots in her and she'll do things to you that will make you kind of ashamed of yourself.

Zootopia was great. IIRC, @jwinslow is also a fan of animated movies. If you haven't seen it yet, it is worth it.

Saw Zootopia yesterday. Loved it. 90% of the movies I see these days are animated films for the little one. I don't really mind though as they are pretty entertaining. I'm actually pretty excited about Pets and Angry Birds.

So I've owned The Aviator for a decade and never watched it (the near 3 hr run time surely a factor). I finally remedied that this weekend (though still haven't used the disc I bought :lol:). While it had a few rough edges (and will be too slow for many), the depiction and exploration of Hughes' accomplishments and struggles are truly brilliant.

Rotten Tomatoes nailed it with this synopsis:

"With a rich sense of period detail, The Aviator succeeds thanks to typically assured direction from Martin Scorsese and a strong performance from Leonardo DiCaprio, who charts Howard Hughes' descent from eccentric billionaire to reclusive madman."

Free on Amazon Prime/Video.

Turned his career around from Gangs of New York, Catch Me if You Can, The Aviator, and The Departed? Why would he want to do that?

I think The Aviator is his best work, FWIW. A very under-rated film, IMO.

Well said. I'm glad that folks have finally stopped viewing Leo through the lens of the boyfriend-murdering nonsense on the ill-fated boat (how did he get the bum rap and not her?). I'd have to think over your declaration but it was a pretty stellar performance.

I think I quit Aviator when he started pissing in jars. Just too long and slow. As far as your other point I think he got a bad rap after Titanic mainly because all the tweens went crazy for him kind of like anyone from Twilight or someone like Zac Efron. Not to confuse anyone there with DiCaprio just a similar kind of hate. DiCaprio made some good choices after The Beach to get his career on track.

Speaking of which I deviated from my list last night and watched Foxcatcher. He was amazing as John du Pont and that was after I recently watched the 30 For 30. Mark Ruffalo's mannerisms as Dave Schwartz were spot on. Channing Tatum was about what you'd expect.
