@Brad Brevet:
Wow, now I really can't wait to see it!!

I'm eagerly awaiting for a new movie to sweep me off my feet. If "Ben Button" is as good as you say, I think this might be the one.

Thanks again, Double B!!

@Jerzey Jon: Ahhhh, it makes Forrest Gump look like a chump. Whereas Gump was an obvious fantastical story Button is set in a real world scenario with Benjamin's reversed aging being the only difference. And once you see it you realize that isn't even all that different. It's the story that sells the film far more than the perceived gimmick.

@jrc ven: For some reason, I'm not anticipating "Ben Button" so much. Maybe it's because it looks to similar to Forest Gump. The movie that I can't wait for on the other hand is "Revolutionary Road".

Unfortunately Brad, I wasn't able to see Benjamin Button, I was extremely sick this weekend. So looks like you loved it. That's good news.lol. How did Taraji do? I adore her she's one of my favorite actresses.

I agree with you about Slumdog, I liked it, but I don't think it will win either.

Brad, I'm looking forward to seeing both Slumdog and Benjamin Button. What acting noms do you predict for Benjamin Button?
