Button Refresh

MTV.com's Josh Horowitz claims to have had an "interesting chat" with with Benjamin Button director David Fincher. With Button finally opening tomorrow, it'll be interesting to hear HE reader comments about it. I've said before that it's basically a languid, atmospherically-driven thing -- a film with exquisite, top-of-the-line chops from start to finish that nonetheless underwhelms in a pleasant and soothing way.

Finally seeing Button on Friday. Can't wait.

Watched most of Zodiac last night on Showtime HD. A masterwork.

Reason -- I wish Fincher would finally do Seared with Pitt. That was a GREAT script about life in the kitchen.

CCBB is still humming with me a couple of weeks later. The themes are very powerful and the movie is a unique inspiration. Age, Fate, Youth, Life...New Orleans...Pitt, Blanchett, Fincher...Best Picture.

For a second I actually thought the add said SCUMdog Millionaire and wondered if Gwar somehow produced an alternate version in the last month. Which, no doubt, would be far more tasteful.

I've said it before and I will say it again... Benjamin Button is the best American movie since The Godfather.

I disagree. David Fincher is actually attractive (yes even today as his losing is hair).
