It's a gimmick and a fable that was meant to provoke thought and play with your imagination. I also enjoyed The Dark Knight for what it was, which is a really good superhero movie with timely overtones. I do, however, agree on some level with you general statements about "Zombie" filmgoers. This especially happens on the art-house level where a mediocre film like Slumdog Millionaire is praised by critics and people rush to see it because of the buzz and say they love it because they think they are supposed to. At any rate, here's my review of Button: http://davethenovelist.wordpress.com/2008/12/28/a-review-of-the-curious-case-of-benjamin-button/ I think you may have missed the boat here with regards to Benjamin Button.

She races against men, and beats many of them. Kournikova only plays against other women, so there is no comparison of talent. But at least get your facts straight. In championship points, she was 9th in 2006, 7th in 2007 and 6th this year, ahead of 33 other drivers who competed in the IndyCar series in 2008. Don't know where you got your average of "just under top 10", but it's incorrect. You may not think she’s hot, and that’s OK. She races against men, and beats many of them.

Also, Netflix customers rated these movies a little over 3 out of 5. While this is much higher than i would have rated the movies, these are not very good ratings. So obviously, there are many people who agree with me. On IMDB, these movies averaged a little over a 6 out of 10. Also, Netflix customers rated these movies a little over 3 out of 5.

They mostly set up with chad in front playing lead and doing lead vocals with pete in the back on backup guitar or bass and backup vocals, and brad on drums or bongo/harmonica and he sometimes chims in with some backup vocals. But had is the main songwriter and therefore the lead singer trust me i know what im talking about….sure there are some songs that pete or brad will come up and play some guitar….mostly acoustic songs…and some songs like fallin’, which they have only played a few times, pete will play lead, but before you tell me i don’t know what i am talking about, you should do research.

And I looked up her stats and the past two years she averaged just under top ten, but that is not too good for all of the media she gets. ok fare enough it is a historic event, but that woman is NOT HOT! please don’t say that, she may match kournikova in talent, but not looks!
