(2004)Starring: Leonardo DiCaprio, Kate Blanchett, Alec Baldwin
Director: Martin Scorcese
Synopsis: A look at a portion of Howard Hughes' life
Nick's Insight: So if you haven't heard (you shouldn't have heard) my son has a sweet new band called Eyes of Noctum. Earlier today I was perusing their myspace page and noticed that, unbeknowst to me, my son changed his goddamn name from Weston Cage to simply "Arcane". What the Fuck! Granted, Arcane is more badass than Weston Cage, but not by very much. Plus, only total bitches change their name to make it sound cooler.
If only he had gone to law school like his daddy wanted...Anyway, I guess I have to review a fucking movie now. I watched the Aviator and it was really good. Certain people have compared Leonardo Dicaprio to myself for years now, and while I do see similarities in our appearances, I just don't see it on the screen.
I'm constantly hearing about how good he is at acting, but he just doesn't do it for me. Sure, he played a good retard in that Gilbert Grape pile of shit, but what else has he been in. Nothing big, I'm sure.
Plus, how can you even pay attention to any of his movies when you spend the whole time swimming in his eyes. I could eat his peach for hours.
No matter how young, how attractive, and how talented he is, I still believe that I'll win an Oscar before he does... Oh, What's that? BLAM, Motherfucker!
Suck it, PussySo, Leo Dio plays Howard Hughes, a rich eccentric with several mental disorders, including OCD and some phobias. Martin Scorcese of course did an incredible job of portraying the real Howard Hughes and was extremely detailed in his account of Hughes' life. Here's an example of his hilarious OCD. He also knows how to spell quarantine. I suggest skipping to the 1:00 mark of this clip.
I really respect this movie for showing just how batshit crazy Howard Hughes was in real life. Although I really would have enjoyed seeing him in his later life when he lived in a Las Vegas penthouse and wore kleenex boxes on his feet. I also wish that more people had come in with the milk. come with the milk.
There's one scene in this movie where a plane crashes so awesomely that it makes that plane crash from Cast Away look like old, old diarrhea in Tom Hanks' toilet.
The climax of the movie comes when Hughes is accused of not producing military airplanes that the government had funded during World War 2. This is just fine with me. I've never believed in any type of heavy-machinery in wars. All I need is my rifle and Stabby, my trusty bayonet.

Adding it Up: Hilarious Mental Disorders + Sweeter Plane Crash + Coming in with the milk = 7.2 out of 8mm
If you didn't notice from that clip, Howard Hughes' head engineer is Luis Carruthers, the biggest doofus in the business.
That engineer is a tumbling, tumbling dickweed
