So Ebert get into it...big deal. I also don't have too much of a problem with critics saying it was too long because it FELT long while Dark Knight didn't (I'm still deciding which one i liked more but I'm leaning towards Dark Knight).<BR/><BR/> I liked what Taraji did with Queenie. She shouldn't be punished for the archetype she got landed. She managed to make her charming, funny and I empathized with her particularly with her relationship with Benjamin early on. It's like what Nathaniel said in Worst and Dishonerable Mentions about Kristen Stewart. When you're handed a one note role...add notes!

I don't quite get how anything over two hours is deemed "too long" or whatever (unless it's <I>The Dark Knight</I> in which case NOTHING SHOULD'VE BEEN CUT!!!) Like, all these reviewers trying to be funny when writing about <I>Button</I> or <I>Australia</I> talking about how they're arse was sore after the first hour and how they needed to get up ever 30 minutes because they're SOOOOOO long.

I can't imagine how I forgot to bring her name up even once when I was reviewing it - I think the single worst part of the film was after her last scene, when you realize that you don't get to see any more of her, and there's still another 90 minutes of the cardboard standee impersonating Blanchett yet to go.Timhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09491952893581644049noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256060.post-41650455505950779312008-12-30T15:25:00.000-05:002008-12-30T15:25:00.000-05:00I don't mean to offend anyone but what Sasha had b...I don't mean to offend anyone but what Sasha had been smoking before she wrote this list?

I mean, I have Sharon Stone in my contact list, but it's not the actress, it's my mom. <BR/><BR/>And the major downside of Benjamin Button is the length. It just didn't need to be almost 3 hours long. Although the Tilda Swinton scenes completely swept me off my feet.
