i plan on seeing 'the aviator'....when i get the time to fit it in....it's a real butt warmer at 169 minutes.....although i've read some reviews of the film, where the critics have said it feels more like 2 hours...because it's so good and because of the pacing.......this will be one of the few (i can count on one hand) mainstream films that i'll see or have seen this year.......i guess the real reason i'll see this film is because it's a biopic....of an extremely interesting, self driven, brilliant man who eventually, in alot of respects, became a freak.......long before it became popular......
