Cinema - The Curious Case of Benjamin Button

Movie duties were started this year with three hours of matinee magic courtesy Benjamin Button. It was refreshing to see Wifey enjoy the movie. She came into the movie hall with the one piece of knowledge that Brad Pitt was in the movie. No other expectations. No knowledge about the story line. I envied her for that. I can't remember the last time a movie took me by pleasant surprise. Despite knowing the plot line, I enjoyed the movie celebrating the idea behind it. David Fincher has taken liberties with the original story. It looks like he has just taken the original concept and spun his own story around it.  And quite a concept it is. A man ages backwards...


I recall a very early email thread, back when you read everything that passed through your inbox, that captured this very concept. I was not able to find that particular narrative  but was able to find this George Costanza version of the same through dive.scubadiving.com
