I re-watched The Aviator last night. Scorsese uses Hughes' milk consumption for a cool little metaphor for Freudian/mom/boobs/sex. An hour in, every time he gets laid, he's drinking milk out of an immaculate bottle ("in the bottle, cap still on, hold it with my right hand, open it with my left hand"). There's even the reference to it when he's filming Hell's Angels and asks the meteorologist for clouds that look like giant breasts filled with milk. I hadn't noticed this the first time.

There's also a thing with Hughes being disgusted by meat, and it happens every time another alpha male threatens him (the fish that he's eating at Senator Owen Brewster's house; the bloody prime rib or whatever it is when he's fighting Katherine Hepburn's father to get a word in edgewise; another meat dish when Errol Flynn pops in and annoys the crap out of him). Every time, Scorsese crops tight in a way that makes the dish look like the most disgusting thing ever.

Martin Scorsese appears to be the latest director embracing 3-D, according to Variety.

The filmmaker plans to experiment with the technology for the first time with his forthcoming project “The Invention of Hugo Cabret,” which is expected to start filming in the U.K. in June with a potential December 2011 release.

The movie, an adaptation of the young-adult novel by Brian Selznick, tells the story of 12-year-old Hugo, an orphan, clock keeper and thief who lives in the walls of a Paris train station in the 1930s. Ben Kingsley, Sacha Baron Cohen and “Kick-Ass” star Chloe Moretz are signed on to the film.

I read that elsewhere. I really don't get the fascination with 3D.

Great flick. I don't recall any of the metaphors -thus it must not have been over the top.

How much does it cost you to see a standard movie? How much to see 3D?

I get why they make them. But I don't get why people pay that for them. I paid for Avatar in 3d, because I hadn't seen a 3D movie in 20 years and was curious. Having seen it, I'm pretty sure I would have liked it the same in 2D.

They played 'Tank' on Cinemax Asia. Let me just say, 'HELL YES!' It was just as awesome as it was when I watched it on Saturday afternoons as a boy. And I dare say, the motorcycle jump at the end, has somehow become more awesome.

3D is pretty awesome when done right. That being said, how many forthcoming movies will actually do it right? Not many, IMHO. I didn't see Clash of the Titans but I have heard the 3D parts were crappy. This is what I expect from 90% of all future 3D productions.
