He can act, that's for sure, but he needs a good script too. <br /><br />The Oscar nod is not terribly important: Oscar winning directors vote for other directors so how reliable can it be? Welles never got an Oscar, right? But Baz is probably too megalomaniac to really make something subtle.

...Mimi,<br /><br />long time no see, thanks for dropping by!<br /><br />Yup, my thoughts exactly. The new film is so much better after all that disaster job with Pitt and the rushed attempt to patch things up by bringing Marilyn back from the grave. <br />Still, we need something more "fantasy", less reality, I suppose.

I didn't like it. I don't know if my problem is the choice of Gisele, or the music or what.
