"I saw your mini-review of Button and I have to say I disagree with the suspicion that under 30's may not be cool with it. (Okay, okay, I'm 30 but same difference.) I found it touching and emotional in the best possible way (i.e., not sentimental). It's a complete left turn for Fincher in his career, especially after Zodiac, which I also liked a great deal. I agree that the film is a gentle riverboat ride, but I liked that, and I was very happy that Fincher did not throw in a bucketful of Zemeckis schmaltz." -- conveyed in an e-mail by a friend who saw Button at last night's MOMA Titus screening, and whom I'm not identifying unless he says it's cool.
