The Way Of The Future

I don't want to start beating a dead horse or anything, but after finally seeing The Aviator I can say with great confidence that it easily beats out Million Dollar Baby in every possible way. Acting, story, direction, cinematography, cooler title, you name it. And I thought Baby was a pretty good flick, but I can see clearly now that Scorsese was robbed yet again at the Oscars. Of course it should come as little surprise really- along with the Grammys, the Oscars have become such a popularity contest that it's more about designer labels and ego-stroke than it is about giving genuine recognition for achievements in film.
