All is lost.

I hate blogging on a Windows computer.
I'd written a lengthy post connecting my love for Martin Scorsese's The Aviator with David Thomson's latest volume of film history, The Whole Equation: A History of Hollywood.
This f-ing computer has now lost the thing (twice).
I can't deal with re-typing it tonight. Let me just say: go see The Aviator. You will be entertained and (hopefully) blown away by the insanely consummate filmmaking. If not, you are keeping a flame for some mythic Marty of the '70s or are Lars Von Trier or William Goldman.
