Thread: The Curious Case of Benjamin Button

so how bout it?

curious case of benjamin button...saw it 2 days ago and it was good

pretty long tho' cant sit on it in the theater twice thats for sure

anyone else seen it.? thoughts.?

the concept was cool. I'm glad it didn't follow the book to the letter. This movie will be in class rooms

Pick a real title dude...

... TCCOBB was awesome though... I cant remember the last movie I saw where people actually applauded as it ended.

Havent seen it yet, but I heard Pitt was nominated for an oscar, so im definitely gonna give it a chance. The trailer really got me hooked, seems to be one of pitts better movies?

Yes I'd recommend watching this. It's a good movie, despite not being entirely true to Fitzgerald's short story. It's also a bit long too, like 3 hours and then some.

the book only had 11 chapters

Surprisingly good movie considering I had no clue what it was about when I watched it and I'm not a Brad Pitt fan really. I felt like reading the book after watching the movie. Didn't mind the length, since I actually felt some parts could have gotten more screen time but yes definitely worth a watch.

Also, lightning FTW!

Yeah. I swear he got struck in the movie 7 times like he said, although peeps I know said they only showed 5.

Don't remember if he was actually struck 7 times since I watched it on the first day it was out.

Btw, anyone who liked this should read some of Fitzgerald's other shorts. They're really good. =o

Am I the only one who thought that baby cockblocked that black fellow in the start?


I was drunk while watching it, I don't remember any character names. :~)

Edit*

Actually, I can only remember the start and few other things from the middle. bah.
