We saw
The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, which seemed like one of the
longest films we have watched in a long time. Kept thinking - damn, is this ever going to be finished?!
Then I see today that it received 13 Academy Award nominations - really?! Wow, 2009 must have been a bad year for films if it was considered one of the best. I mean it's an interesting story (if one that goes on & on & on...), but possible Best Picture? Nah.
The only thing is the scenery shots in/around New Orleans, Lake Pontchartrain, and when they sailed down to the Keys, made me sooo homesick for 'my South' (south Florida in my case) - the weather, the heat/humidity (in my mind, I can still smell the orange blossoms, jasmine & magnolia in the hot, humid air), palm trees, the warm sandy beaches, etc.
