I thought DiCaprio was awfully good in The Aviator. Because I wasn't all that interested in the movie, and then I stumbled upon it and forgot to change channels. And yeah, Scorsese of course, but if DiCaprio didn't work, the movie wouldn't.

Buffista Movies 5: Development Hell
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.
I liked Titanic when i first saw it with my family. I didn't like it about a month later, when every single girl I fantasized about in my high school was too busy fantasizing about Leo to give me any thought (not that they would have anyway, being a super-nerdy fourteen-year-old, but still).
Now, I think I would like it again, because I like Leonardo, and I love Kate, and I like pretty movies, and I enjoy cheesy teen angst. But I don't really want to spend 3 hours confirming that.
I'll join you. I saw it three times in the theater.
It's a good corner to be in. (Also, love your tagline, Aimee! The Cut Man!) I remember hearing That Song on the radio while I was alone in the TV studio at my high school a couple of days after seeing Titanic, and CRYING, and then being horrified that I was crying and desperately grateful that I was alone.

What's the British slang for this? Wet?
I just saw the trailer for Crank. It pleases me to no end that they've concocted another plot for a film where Jason Statham appears shirtless.

Heh. I don't know, but I suspect that whatever the term is, it needs to be incorporated into my vocabulary.

Yes, well that is the term.
Or as Ple would have it: "emotastic delicate snowflake."
Deadwood: There was so much to love in this episode, so I'll start with the hate: Cy's scenes ('cause why?) and the godawful mess of the theater troupe, which made no fucking sense at all. Love: Jane and Joanie guarding the school (although Jane's Emmy speech later was a little contrived), Al jumping off the balcony, Hearst's lackey going down, although it was brutal, Alma realizing that a) Al is the best chess player she's ever known and b) that she has the steel to finish the walk alone, the whores' admiration of Alma, "Wu", Al taunting Hearst, Jarry (who really sucks the life out of the show) subtly mocking Hearst, Richardson bringing the note to Al, Bullock's visible trembling hate at dinner ('cause: HA!). All in all, pretty damn great.
Deadwood non-watchers: what are you waiting for?
To finish up Battlestar Galactica before Deadwood comes up in the Netflix queue. (It's on there, though!)
As a set/costume/prop geek, Titanic was amazing for me to watch (up until people started drowning). A friend gave me the "Making Of Titanic" book, which is verra pretty.
Just watched Coyote Ugly. Let us never speak of it again.
