I won't lie. I was certainly among those few cinephiles who touched themselves sexy when the first teaser (in Spanish!) for The Curious Case of Benjamin Button hit the web. But having seen the film, my disappoints rain down on what should have been an orgy of technical wizardry and wonderful fantasy.
Instead, we got Eric Roth shitting out the script to Forrest Gump, only this time with the flecks of the F. Scott Fitzgerald short story. Honestly, this film could have been better. I did not need to see Brad Pitt GUMPING it up. It was bland, boring and completely undeserving of an any awards nominations. Well, maybe those technical ones. And one for Cate Blanchett, who should be in Kate Winslet's spot. God damn Kate Winslet for being nominated for mediocre acting, in mediocre films. God damn those films, too, for getting recognised as being more than MEDIOCRE.
Actually, that's not true.
The Reader is turgid. Stephen Daldry is out there, right now, planning his next piece of boring cinema.
May the Gods help you all.
