Sadly, we couldn't fit all the cool info about the two box sets into this one story. So look for Fellowship of the Matrix: The Writer's Cut. Coming soon! The ultimate edition! Unless we think of new stuff after that...
...propaganda missives. His family had more faith. His nephew James Hyman, for one, argued vigorously for decades that Jenkins was innocent, that he must have been kidnapped on that twilight patrol.

Martin Scorsese and screenwriter John Logan take a statelier approach, retelling two decades of Hughes' life in chronological order and trying to explain his degeneration with an eerily erotic scene of his mother washing the boy Howard and warning him of the dangers of pestilence. This penny-Freud thesis can't support the film's nearly three ambling hours. We're happy to take the trip with Hughes but don't know how he reached Destination Crazy Hermit...
