The Bi-Curious Case of Benjamin Button

[corianderstem]

Perhaps because you're experiencing its efffects yourself as we speak.

Who are you??? Where am I? Why am I driving this car?

 

[Lila64]

I'm looking for someone to go see it with, Lila

What time can you be here? I'll even treat for

 

[Babydoll]

Are you in LA? I am too.

 

[deep]

Are you in Los Angeles?

I thought you were East Coast or over seas?

 

[Babydoll]

No I just moved here to LA

 

[deep]

Are you in LA? I am too.

hey, that is only a hour drive for me

too bad I've already seen this.

I've met Lila and she really is one classy lady.

I hope you both enjoy the movie.

 

[Babydoll]

Yeah I've met Lila before too (in Hawaii) and I agree that she's a classy lady

Yes, I know, they were digitalized. I just meant that given that both were digitalized, Pitt looked better to me as the younger Benji. Maybe my eye is used to seeing women in film botoxed so that's why I said I could almost convince myself about Blanchett, but it was much better than that. I knew they were digitalized going into the film yet never once did I think he in particular looked fake as the younger character.

I also agree, I thought Brad Pitt looked incredible in the younger version (and he is not my "type" either). Cate was beautiful but something about her looked more fake than Brad's digi-face.

Pitt looked like he did in Thelma & Louise, so there was some visual reference there. Blanchett looked like a porcelain doll or something, slightly unnatural.

It's amazing to me how ridiculous the de-aging CGI was in X-Men: The Last Stand for Picard and Sir Ian, Sir Ian, Sir Ian and how fantastic it looks only 2 years later.

I also met Lila in Hawaii and will attest to the classiness.

What part of LA are you in? I spent 10 years there, moved away when I found out that Lazarus lived there.

wow,
I thought you were still my neighbor

I will now need to adjust how I evaluate your replies

You young pup, you young pup!

I'm so close to buying the extended cut of that, but I'm lacking in funds. Too bad I can't pay in spice.

Sorry, Deep. I moved to Chicago in April, 2007.

You should go back and read all of my posts since then, and then formulate a new opinion of me.

Though, the weather here is so very bad that it's conceivable that I'll come crawling back to LA sooner than later.

The extended cut is extended insanity. If you buy the extended cut before you buy GOW2, I'll have to use the Weirding Way on your ass.

GoW 2 is first on the pecking order, for sure.

I'd even trade in GoW 1 for it.

Oh, and, I thought the digital Kate and Brad was noticeable, but well done, if that makes sense.

I think we are ok, I did run all your replies through the "can relate" filter.

and I do believe that still applies.

(and I do remember reading about your mid-west move. )

 

[BoMac]

you know how all the singers are filtering their voices though computer programs to get their singing on pitch

And these singers should all be executed by firing squad.

I look forward to seeing this film sometime this week.

Thanks deep and Babydoll/NSW. I think I missed quoting you deep. Oops!

Babydoll -you've moved to L.A.?

 

[KhanadaRhodes]

[joyfulgirl]

For the record, I thought NSW was still deep's neighbor, too.

I was trying to remember what his first major film was. Yes, he looked a lot like that although he was in his late 20s when T&L was made and I thought he looked much younger, and was supposed to be much younger, than that as young Benji the last time we see Brad Pitt as Benji. I was going to ask everyone how old they thought he was supposed to be in that scene ... I was thinking 17, 18, 19?

I am going with around 18

and if her daughter was around 14
that means the Cate character was around 57 then?

you can still read our replies through the "can relate" filter

that is the filter I use with your replies, along with the "kinda hot" filter, too

Sometimes I am. Today, not so much.

Why was everyone in Hawaii? Was there a Jean Wolff convention or something?

I thought as much.

He's a sex object in T&L, but his first real substantial role was in Robert Redford's A River Runs Through It, where you pretty much see the making of a movie star before your eyes. He's pretty much perfect in the film.

Oh, riiight...that's the one.

this band you might've heard of...

Ahh...loha.

I agree, I've always loved A River. He even looks sort of like a young Redford in it.

I've yet to see BB, though. Not in the mood for tearjerkers of late, and if it's taken down 90% of the male population of Interland, what hope do I have?
