the curious case of benjamin button...

Well, the weather in Seattle was colder and much snowier than Minneapolis! I know, shocking.

On the 26th, I went to see Benjamin Button with another flight attendant and we loved it! It was a classic love story about 2 totally normal people, except that Mr. Button ages backwards. It is directed by David Fincher (Se7en, Fight Club and Zodiac) and the screenwriter (correct me if I'm wrong) also wrote Forrest Gump. It wasn't dark like Fincher's previous movies, but it is a magical story about life and love and how there should be no regrets. It the kind of movie that has kept me thinking for days now, and it also made me realize just how damn hot Brad Pitt is.

I highly recommend this movie for anyone. It is just beautiful with lovely cinematography and music, and although just under 3 hours, really captured my attention enough to where I didn't get up to use the bathroom! If you know me, that's quite impressive! The visual effects are so amazing that the flight attendant next to me asked where they found an old man just like Brad Pitt.

Hmmm. Anyway... Go see the film and report back on your favorite aspect or what you hated. Then you can dream about Brad as Benjamin on the motorcycle! Hehehe!

we loved it too!
i thought that daisy was the most gorgeous lady ever- such good actors in this film.

yes. it was a good one-
I didn't get up to go to the bathroom either- a miracle for a woman a week away from her due date and a testament to the fact it was worth watching.
