The Curious Case of Benjamin Button

[n7]

I can't believe there are no recent threads on this.

I'm not good at summarizing movies, but this is a must see IMO.

 

[Jeff7]

Just be careful.

 

[JohnCU]

lol we went to see B Button at 9:30 and got there an hour early. They let us in at 8:40 and we saved two seats.

This lady comes in at like 9:10 and had tried to sit in several places and she was told the seats were taken..she kept getting more and more aggrevated. She reaches us and asks us to move because saving seats is not allowed.

She ended up getting an usher and by that time our other 2 friends had arrived and the lady was trying to single us out, saying we were saving seats.

I told her to sit in the front or get here an hour early like us to get the seats you want, but she didn't acknowledge me..

Edit: I liked the movie but I felt like it was 30 minutes too long.

As much as i hate it when people save seats, i cant be mad, and i dont get mad. sometimes you have to save seats because groups of people dont all arrive at the same time, its inevitable. but ya, get there early and get the seats you want.

 

[PhaZe]

Yeah, I don't get mad because I save seats too. I hate doing it when I am alone though, I have to fight people off sometimes...like last night.

 

[xanis]

lol @ people showing up 20 minutes before the opening of a new movie and expecting to find good seats

Just saw it tonight. One of the things I liked was that it wasn't a total romance centered storyline. The cinematography and the narration in the movie were amazing.

I do agree with PhaZe though, it was a tad bit longer than it needed to be.

This is one of the few movies that engulfed me in the romance. I really felt the strong love they had for each other. The actors were just phenomenal. The film really started jerking tears from me when Benjamin started turning into a boy.

Fantastic movie. When David Fincher and Brad Pitt get together it's FUCKING MAGICAL. They're 3 for 3 with Fight Club, Se7en, and now Benjamin Button. Radically different movies pointing to how diverse Fincher is as a director and Pitt can be as an actor.

 

[eplebnista]

I'll see it when it is released on DVD.

 

[MikeyIs4Dcats]

definitely worth the money...probably the best movie I've seen since NCFOM.

 

[Mo0o]

Good movie but kind of boring. The plot was really dry.

Not enough explosions?

Nobody was utterly shocked at the naturally pulled off CG to make Brad Pitt look like a teenager? (When he returned to the ballet class).

Oh man I was so awestruck. We often see how Hollywood can make ppl look older. But younger? I was amazed.

YOU sure it was CG and not makeup?

 

[MikeyIs4Dcats]

I was shocked at how much older brad pitt looked like Robert Redford

 

[The_Dude8]

the movie is 2 hrs and 47 mins long.

 

[zinfamous]

that's a lot of "best movie I've seen all year" threads for one weekend...

Good point. I didn't realize the correlation between my three favorite Brad Pitt movies.

also, Thelma and Louise was quite excellent.
