Rats, I forgot the PBYs and Pan Am Clippers. and, of course the Spruce Goose (I think Hughes hated that name)
BTW, "The Aviator" is about Howard Hughes and how he suffered from OCD. It was pretty extreme.
The interesting thing about The Aviator is how the different eras were represented with the film style of that era. It's a really beautiful movie to watch 🙂

I had to scrub my reply because... well... I was just too in-depth.
In short, It looks like the set, prop, costume designers had certainly done their homework.
Scorsese (Scorpio Sun / Pisces Moon) is an excellent director, and DiCaprio (Scorpio Sun / Libra Moon), an excellent actor.
It was nominated for 11 Academy Awards, including Best Picture, Best Director, Best Original Screenplay, Best Actor in a Leading Role for DiCaprio, and Best Actor in a Supporting Role for Alda, winning five for Best Cinematography, Best Film Editing, Best Costume Design, Best Art Direction and Best Actress in a Supporting Role for Cate Blanchett. This achievement would not be matched for seven years until Martin Scorsese's film Hugo.

I think Scorsese and DiCaprio have worked together on several films, 5 or 6, I think.
The casting was inspired. I really liked Gwen Stefani as Jean Harlow.
Well... How do I look?

You guys know the difference between a fairy tale and a truck driver story?
A fairy tale starts off "Once upon a time"
A truck driver story starts off "This ain't no bullshit!"

Excellent, Mr.Bird. Fire in the sky for firebirds. I like it.
Did you know that Apollo 12 was underway when I was born, in 1969?
It's true.
I was high as a kite, by then.
Okay.... Here's my large car pulling a 48', maybe 53' dry van at the old truck stop in Lupton, Az, east of Winslow Az on I-40.
I don't know for sure if they are still there, or not. I would think so. I usually stopped here to buy cartons of Camel cigs.
in those days a carton of 10 packs of cigs cost 8 bucks on the rez. That's .80 cents per pack. Nowadays, they cost 5 bucks a pack.
We pulled for Clipper Exxpress, with some odds and ends on the side.

Blacknova, you are quite preoccupied with the so-called "big black penis".
Where your treasure is, there your heart be, also.
And wheresoever your heart is, there be the defining
core of your intelligence, moral character and thus,
physical worth to society.
That being said, you suffer from penis envy.
Not only that, but a modified penis envy that suggests
that you are a size queen.
Your condition stems from your feminine insecurities
and desperate desire for power and general lack of
self-control.
That's unfortunate, however, it should be pointed out that
presidents are not chosen for their penis nor the size, thereof.
They are chosen for their loyalty and obedience to the powers
that be.
From what discussions on sexuality that I've seen on this forum,
in the past, I would hazard a guess that you might benefit
from purchasing a big reliable black mechanical baloney pony
featuring the deluxe variable speed control.
Doing so, should satisfy your penis envy, size queenship,
and.... your thirst for power and control needs.
Don't forget, blacknova, if necessary, there are specialized
carriers that can discreetly deliver your oversized
mechanical balony pony right to your doorstep.
Anywhere in the world
Some assembly may be required.
IMHO, this is pretty darned good acting and scene planning.
I never knew time traveling was taboo. Shrugs... oh well.. LOL. 😆
I think an de-atomizer / re-atomizer would be necessary for Time Travel
to work. That is, something that converts matter and antimatter to synthematter.
Synthematter is what travels across space. The next hurdle would be to
convert chronometrics and antichronometrics to synthechronometrics.
Together, the odds for success, may improve.
Unfortunately, the only way this can happen is to sacrifice a large number
of humans to perfect the system.
After a few drinks too many, time will fly.
It's true! I know this.

Firebird, I don't enjoy hanging out on the Sagittarius board while you post here so frequently, but I put up with it and let you be
But now that you made a direct exaggerated and ridiculous personal derogatory attack on me, over a one-off humorous gif (which was actually pretty lame and why I hid the post - before you even made your comment) and stuffed my day...you can go fuck yourself you stupid cunt.click to expandLOL! 😆
See fish?
See hook?

Whooops Wrong answer!!!
Ya know.... For someone who "don't give a flyin' fuck" about what someone else thinks of them, you sure contradict yourself.
omg,
nem, I hope you are making money with your artistic senses. please tell me that you do.
nur ein wenig davon. dem Mond in Fische zu verdanken.
ich schreib dir heute abend oder später ab 5 Uhr. jetzt muss ich mich auf die Socken machen.
ah, ich musste gerad' noch einen Blick auf ihre Füsse werfen.
was hätte sie für ein Zeichen? Fische, oder Krebs? oder Waage-Skorp-Mischung. Zu nett für ein reines Sk. oder Aqua am Nachdenken?

What you fail to realize, is that these two propositions are not mutually exclusive
Proposition 1: I don't give a fuck what you think of me
Proposition 2: I can say you're a stupid cunt over and over for as long as I choose to do so.ps
You're only dirty on me because I challenged you (sensibly and diplomatically) on your religious toned rantings in that other thread last month and you obviously didn't like it that I would challenge you.
So your initial post in this thread about my lame ass gif, which had absolutely nothing to do with you (and which other peeps would either laugh at or shrug and forget), a month after that event, is your apparent attempt at some kind of fucked up emotional scorpio revenge because you hold a pathetic grudge. The fact that you even bothered to make a point of it, "after" I already hid my self confessed lame ass post the other day, confirms this.
So don't mistake this response as giving a fuck, I'm simply highlighting for you (and no-one else) that I can dig into that skull of yours and pull out your brain cells one by one .pps
So feel free to continue wasting your time, believing I actually give a fuck what you think. (you lost that privilege the other day)LOL

To be perfectly honest, I don't remember you.
Your "challenge" must have been very important
to you that you should think it good idea to follow
me around, and now, bring it up, here, in Wynter's thread....
what— A month later— And you accuse me of holding
a grudge—
That can mean only one thing, you've got a serious problem.
I suggest you take it elsewhere and cease from screwing yourself
in Wynter's thread.
Wynter, et al.
I'm at perfect peace with a tranquil beer beer buzz for breakfast
and this tune.
You should try it, it's great.

That IS an artistic pic, Nemy.
If I were to mem the pic, the impression I personally get, is
"I'm disappointed in you, MrBird"
All I can say is "I'm sorry MrsCat."
I don't know if MrsCat is buying it ,though.

I don't see the disappointment in her eyes.
It's more like:
"look, I did this as you wanted. I'm your friend and try my best for you anyway. Now did that help? Are you satisfied? I don't understand your business but I feel to have it better. BTW now that we are at it when will you come and give me some munchies?"
This is why I did tend to say she is Pisces, Cancer, or Libra-Scorp-mix. Or even an Aqua.

The question is if what we see dpends on what we want to see. or what we tend to see. A Scorp like you might tend to see something harsher in those eyes than a Sag like me. With my Moon in Pisces and as a Cat I never tell someone, "I'm disappointed in you" without adding "why do you hide your talent; that would make worlds happy". #TalentScoutNextDoor

Ms kitty is an air sign to me. Gem? Yeahhh they have those clever looks.
Nemy, I wasn't attacking dwelling, neither she me.
just expressing my impression.
Scorpio and Sag placements?
Wynter, you remain the queen of cat media.
1000 thanks for sharing.
@BlackNova, yeah, you might have a point. Motherly instincts.
Wynter, you'd like my mother.
Contrary to what goody two shwos blackblacak
I've been accused of a lot of things, but being an alcoholic is
not one of them.
One of life's simple pleasures.
😉
For the record. The beer I had for breakfast wasn't bad, so I had one more for dessert.
hmmm.. Notes: piece of paper moved all by itself. and I can't feel my face. Was it ever really there?

Lots of great planes.
But whether friend or foe, always respect the enemy and give
credit where credit is due. For WWI Manfred von Richthofen "The Red Baron" would be
that man in the clouds of notoriety and excellence.
Knowing what I know about engines, they all have a unique sound and
feel to them. Especially the reciprocating piston driven internal combustion engine.
The feel... the sound... it's a beautiful thing.
