No kidding. My wife rented The Aviator, and I laughed out loud when de Caprio came on screen in that little leather jacket. He looked like someone trying to play Howard Hughes in the high school play.

Exactly what I said, not only did he not look like the guy, he also came across as someone trying too much to act like Howard Hughes which was distracting as hell. That`s exactly how High school kids act who are trying too hard to impress. There`s a million actors out there who not only could have looked more like HH (like Edward Norton), but could have done it a million times better. Instead the studios think they`re going to get another "Titanic" by casting Leo Di Girlio in every freggin` movie that comes along. It`s all about money, that`s all it`s about and if the pants are 20 sizes too big, too bad, they`ll make them fit. That`s why Gangs of New York failed. Gangs of New York was one of the greatest books I ever read, and I couldn`t believe what they did to that. It was like some la di da musical without the music. I half expected them to break out in dance during the fight scenes.
