I saw "Aviator" last night because I am a dutiful American. It was very good up until the two hour and one minute mark, at which point I lost interest as I do in every single movie I attend that tests my attention span endurance...it matters not the quality. At a certain point the "entertain me" muscle in my brain turns off and I start talking in my head to the director of the movie. "OK, Martin, we know he's nuts....Ok, that scene did not move the story forward...Did that line really need to be said one more time." I really tried not to feel taken hostage by Mr. Scorsese, but by the end I felt hit over the head with the point so hard I came home feeling insulted.

I still liked the movie. I just wished it was shorter.

Just for today, I can have an opinion.
