You're right, Hugo is marvelous.  I've never been a  fan of 3D... until I saw this film.

Incidentally SDP, I noticed your Don Quixote avatar; are you familiar with the Anthony Harvey movie, "They Might Be Giants "?  It's one of my favorites.

Defining quote

I watched the first 10 minutes of it. I vaguely recall it. I like George C Scott, I probably saw it when it came out (I used to be a very big movie fan, invariably saw one a week...). I'll have to watch it, thanks. ...........I'm a sucker for misfits.........as I am one........ The Outsider by Colin Wilson is one of my top five favorite books.......

I saw Hugo today (well, yesterday), it is wondrous. I saw it in non-3-D, but will have to go back and see it in 3-D (maybe today, well....tomorrow...)..... (I could just see it in 3-D, especially the opening scene, snow...).

After years and years of Marty not getting an Oscar, they found an opportunity to give it to him for The Departed (he should have won for Raging Bull years earlier).

Hugo will get nominated for best picture, and Marty for best director. It will be a crime if Hugo does not get the best picture award. It will be a crime if Martin Scorsese doesn't win best director.

See it. It may just be my new favorite movie (over Lawrence of Arabia & King of Hearts).

Wondrous...........
