For the record, I thought NSW was still deep's neighbor, too.
Why was everyone in Hawaii? Was there a Jean Wolff convention or something?
I thought as much.
this band you might've heard of...
I reversed manifest destiny and headed East. Stopped before I could get back to NYC, though, here in Chicago.
gg bonnie.I thought the thread title really was the name of the movie until I saw an ad for it yesterday.
So, it was very polished, sharply filmed and methodical in that attractive Fincher way. The performances were all top notch and the music was excellent. I thought Roth's screenplay really held the whole thing back from being great though. The whole bit back and forth from the hospital, tying in Hurricane Katrina to no effect, and a general sort of aimlessness in the narrative left me a little less than satisfied in that regard. The film felt unsure of itself thematically, and despite the promise over and over again throughout the plot of going somewhere genuinely meaningful, it continually found a new digression or moved on to something new. Sure the ending was a bit tear-jerky-ish in a nice if sentimental way, but I didn't leave the film having felt as though I really got anything substantial from it. But it's a well-made if not finely-written tale with good music and lots of pretty images.
I still liked it well enough.

Wow, I agree with every word of this. Very much how I experienced it.
Saw it last night and quite enjoyed it. The makeup was FANTASTIC as was both Pitt's and Kate's aging. There is one HUGE FLAW that keeps knawing away at me concerning the timeline...near the end when Benjamin Buttons dies as an infant the narrarator (who is Kate/the old woman in the bed) says it was 2003. This makes NO SENSE WHATSOEVER considering the deathbed scene is 2005!!! She could NOT HAVE AGED that much in two years. I can't believe they let that slide. Lazy, Lazy, Lazy.
