I don't like Scorsese or Dicaprio that much, but it was better than I thought it was going to be, simply because I didn't know that Hughes was a nut.
So you totally missed that Simpsons episode when Burns opens the casino & turns into Hughes & thinks microscopic germs are talking to him & he wears kleenex boxes on his feet & grows out his beard, hair & nails. Oh & keeps his urine samples. Then he tells Smithers he's made a plane called the "Spruce Moose" that can fly from "New York's Idyllwild Airport to the Belgian Congo in 17 minutes", but it's actually just a toy model.
And Homer steals Henry Kissingers glasses out of the toilet so Burns doesn't lay him off at the beginning because he thinks he's an "egghead".
And the brillant flashback of Burns as a child when he's thinking of the boardwalk where he's building the casino. He thinks of the bumper cars & he kept crashing into some Irish guy working on the ride. And then the flashback ends & it shows Burns over a 3 day span & he can't stop laughing. It finally shows him at his desk & he goes, "What was I laughing at now?...Oh yes, that crippled Irishman!" and he starts laughing again.
