He asked him about his airline, not his satellite making company or greatest contribution to human progress.

DiCaprio is a decent actor.

Right - sorry I misread it a little quickly.

fsuplayer asked me what airline he started. I assumed he meant TWA, which he did not start, but bought into.

The movie is informative on Hughes' varied interests and companies, emphasizing his innovation and farsightedness, especially in aviation. It shows Dietrich as being the businessman, with Hughes the big thinker.

Alright - so back to the original topic. Howard Hughes is definitely a great character worthy of a movie. I was wondering how good the flick was, though. I have a feeling it'll be rented at my house, if for no other reason than I'll have a house full of in-laws for a while and I don't anticipate being able to go see any movies whether I think they'll be good or not.

I thought he was quite good in The Aviator. I also liked him in a movie of perhaps ten years ago, whose name escapes me, with Robert DeNiro playing his stepfather and Ellen Barkin as his mother.

Seriously, you were the one with the disgusting avatar.
Non-seriously, i thought it was kind of funny of whatever site was hosting your avatar to pull the old switcheroo on you. Just admit you were at fault here.
