We also saw The Aviator last night, mainly because it was too darned cold to do much but go to the movies and it was one of the only movies my elderly dad had any interest in.
We, too, loved it. Gary was put off by the broadness of the first 30 minutes, but I thought the over-the-topness was intentional, to portray how Hughes must have seen Hollywood after he first got there as a young man. The plane crash sequence was amazing.
Kate Beckinsale surprised me; I'd only seen her in Underworld until now.
