Re: The Aviator

It showed up on my iPad, so if it doesn't work now it did work then. Have you tried going to the podcast in the iTunes store to see if it's listed? That usually works if an episode isn't showing up in the feed.

Listening to you guys talk about the Spruce Goose made me feel like I was being Beetlejuiced.

The list of movies that Cate Blanchett sucks in is indeed a short one: I can only think of Crystal Skull.

I wouldn't even say she sucks in that one; the movie sucks, and the writing for her character sucks, but her performance is doing the best it goddamn can, and she at least recognizes what kind of movie she's in.

I dunno - I felt it was a bit flat. She's versatile, but that was stretching it too far. Like Jodie Foster in Elysium, it's hard to create a great female villain in a PG13 movie. Cate is such an ethereal beauty that she'd need to do something really twisted, like kill a child in cold blood or claw a man's dick off for us to hate her. Any examples of successful PG13 female villains?

I question why a woman's beauty should matter any more than a man's handsomeness in terms of their villainy, but for the sake of argument--Bellatrix Lestrange?  She's the one who springs immediately to mind, anyway. Also the White Witch, and any number of Disney villains (the latter aren't PG13, but the point still stands, I think).

Huh, weird to think all Hitler really needed for the whole PR thing was a bit of plastic surgery.

I'm a little over two hours in....and while I'm happy that there was a minor nod to Orson Welles....No love for F for Fake?

Re: The Aviator

2 hours, 20 minutes, you allude to it....The False Biography bit....He is featured prominetly in "F for Fake"....Totally worth checking out....
