Let's subtitle this one:
The Curious Case of why the fuck did Benjamin Button get a movie?
Sometimes I'm confused by the choices that Hollywood makes regarding movies.
Tonight, for lack of anything better on TV, Etienne decided to put on The Curious Case of Benjamin Button. He got the DVD, along with some other real celluloid bombs, as part of a Basement Xmas gift exchange at work, so the good news is we did not pay a cent for it.
The movie is based on a short story, so first, Etienne and I were baffled that (a) this short story was made into a movie, (b) this movie was 2 hours 45 minutes long, and (c) this long movie based on a short story turned out to be a pointless, self-indulgent love story that could have been told in an irrelevant short story instead.
What the hell was Hollywood thinking?
Explain that one to me...
...Wish you were here.
