The Curious Case of Benjamin Button (trailer here), starring Brad Pitt and directed by David Fincher, based on a 1922 short story by F. Scott Fitzgerald about a man born old who ages in reverse, opens Christmas Day, and looks pretty badass. Therefore I don’t want to read the full NY Times feature on it, lest it give anything away. Meanwhile, the LA Times had this picture and an explanation from Fincher:
“You’re looking at Brad’s CG face on another person’s body. To my way of thinking, it all has to be a knock out,” Fincher said of the shifts from age to age and from computer effects to practical make up. “You have to make it all work. The whole thing that we called the hand offs — you’ve got to make it all seem like the same guy, and one of the things that was key was Brad is in every frame. The CG stuff is motion-capture, and it has to be his performance.”
If I was friends with this makeup artist guy, I’d hire him to make my wife up like an 80-year-old man or a miniature Brad Pitt before we f-cked. Hey, it never hurts to spice shit up.

F. Scott Fitzgerald totally ripped that off from an obscure Spider-Man villain.
Zog promise make reverse aging illegal. Unless you like reverse aging, then Zog make it legal.
I can’t wait to see Brad Pitt in baby make-up.
Umm… boobs?
Brett Ratner’s Guitar Hero movie has finally been green-lit: The Curious Case of Been Jammin’ Buttons
I love black chicks but i can’t dance with them. somehow it always ends up being a group effort that finishes with the Electric Slide and i just can’t get into that. just play some Al Green and i’m cool.
Ahem…TOLKIEN AND TITS.
I just read about a movie that they’re making about how injecting too many steroids made a wrestler kill his family.
The Curious Case of Benoit’s Buttocks
Zog opponent, ZOD, promise kill your family. Zog no do this. Unless you want kill family, then Zog do that.
Typical black people, laughing at the white guy for trying to dance.
Son of Stone Age,
KNEEL BEFORE ZOD!
Gold jacket, green jacket. Who gives a shit?
You could also have called him “Son of Stone Soup”.
Wait, someone’s alternate personalities are fighting? This is craziness!!
Oooh. Zog scared.
Zog opponent think coyote make good pet. Zog think coyote make good pot pie.
It is difficult for Zod to debate someone who doesn’t take the issues seriously.
Zog serious heart attack. Name issue, Zog smash like sick coyote.
Just remember:
Zod can fly.
Zod has heat vision.
Zod has super strength.
Vote Zod, or Zod will destroy you.
Jerry! Jerry! Jerry!
Movies where someone is a different age than the body they are in SUCK.
Brad Pitt’s acting is one degree away from Marky Mark’s. Pitt sounded like the cowardly lion from the Wizard of Oz at the end of Se7en. “What’s in the box? What’s in the box”
I hope Benjamin Button finds his precious. It sucks to loose a ring.
“Zog serious heart attack.”
If the people of Planet America wanted someone old and heart attack prone, they would vote for McCain.
His mom should’ve had an amniocentesis, because judging by the size of his head, he’s got the down’s syndrome.
Gas just dropped to $1.98 today, I might go masturbate at the local BP or Caseys because this movie looks gay.
Any opinion you may have had about the movie Seven, was negated by the use of the number 7 in the title.
Sorry about that.

Does anyone agree with Lonce?
When Zod is in charge, Zod will throw Seltzer and Friedberg into the sun.
Wait, when did we just use pieces of the post for commentary? Apparently, Obama will win, because everyone has lost their minds.
When Zod is in charge, It will be illegal for Bret Ratner to ingest nachos.
Zog think ZOD no understand words come out Zog mouth.
Zog no destroy anyone, unless you want Zog destroy someone, then Zog do that.
Zod is confused.
Zog say no pay attention man behind curtain.
Zog too busy solve problems worry about correct login procedure. Zog man of action.
Zod is confused.
This Zod campaign platform.
It looks like Benjamin Button is about ready to get a little McCain Champagne.
It also Zog campaign platform.
Stoney, not that I needed clarification, but you just proved you’re an architect.
Zog promise make contractors show up on time.
Zog promise coyote every pot, car every garage.
Holy shit, is hilarious. (Well, it is to me, anyway.)
Can Zog promise my html won’t suck coyote taint?
Zog need confirm – Robo Panda think suck coyote taint good or bad? Zog suck coyote taint once in while – coyote taint tasty.
New post, more old people.
