Yup, I can't wait to see Aviator.  I'm not a big fan of leo but he is a good actor.  I think it's gonna be good!

I dunno about FotP. Dennis Quaid is workin that old Jimmy Stewart line pretty well. He did a good baseball movie (The Rookie), now FotP. I'm waiting for his version of Rear Window.

Man, I can't believe what they've done to "Flight of The Phoenix". The original with my alltime movie idol (JS) was a great movie. I just can't believe the license they've taken with the title. So dissapointing...at least from what I've seen on the trailers. I won't waste my time seeing that one.

I saw a piece of trailer from the aviator and there was a P38 in it.

I wanna see the movie.

Flight of the Phoenix will suck ass.  There's just no way around that.  I strongly suspect The Aviator will suck bellybutton also.

I'm pretty skeptical about FOTP, but I'm compelled to go see it anyway.  Not all that interested in seeing HH at the theater, but I'll probably rent it when it comes out on DVD.  FOTP was one of my all time favorite movies as well.  Some things just shouldn't be re-made.  I wonder if the new Phoenix will be a real flying a/c, or a CGI effect?  For the original movie, they actually built the real thing and flew it.  One of the stunt pilots (a famous guy, but his name escapes me) died in the filming, and recieved a dedication in the credits as a result.

I'm not interested at all in the remake of FotP.

Saw a trailer that seemed to have some nomads/something shooting at the survivers?  Seemed that way....

Total screw up of a great movie.

Trailer for Aviator looks interesting.  May have to go see this one, but I don't think much of Leo.
