Film critic Peter Hartlaub makes an impassioned plea against giving the Best Picture Oscar to "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button." Regular readers of this blog--all two of you--will recalls that I wasn't impressed by "Button."
Has time and distance changed my mind? No, no, and no. Also, no. In fact, my opinion of that exercise in tooth-grinding boredom has only gone down. If my mind were a beach, "Benjamin Button" would be a beached whale. At first, I hated it because it took up too much space. Now it's starting to stink.
Who do I want to win? Not having seen "Slumdog Millionaire," "Milk," "The Reader," or "Frost/Nixon," I'm forced to say...uh..."Wall-E." Failing that, maybe "Slumdog."
