Its a Flying Thing

I went to see The Aviator with Anne last night. The film is about aviation pioneer and "eccentric" Howard Hughes who was responsible for the legendary Spruce Goose amongst other things. The film was very long but I thought did a good job at demonstrating the fine line between madness and genius that Hughes travelled. Reading up on him since has been interesting. I have to take my hat of to Leonardo DiCaprio who I wrote off as a pretty boy actor some years back. He certainly seems to have wide acting range, I wonder what he'll be like when he starts looking older?
