This Benjamin Button talk has me thinking about making a movie where an Occidental transforms into an Asian as he gets older. Sort of like Woody Allen’s Zelig, but we’d see the transformation occur much slower. And I would avoid what The Twilight Zone did where the person is a racist who gets transformed into a member of a race he despises. I’d make it into a sweet fantasy. Perhaps I would have an interracial marriage where the husband transforms into a member of his wife’s race. And have no one in the movie make a note of it. Ha ha.

“That sounds a little bit like the plot of “Mr. Woodcock”.”

Except this time, between the two of them the nephew is the bully of the relationship.

If Greg’s mom is a trekkie, and Reed is so much older, I don’t see why he doesn’t counter every threat of violence with a threat to boink Greg’s mom.

With that in mind, I think Jay needs to make a short film about Gerry becoming Greg’s father-in-law.

I’m a Fincher-fan, but after hearing your review I think I will not like that movie at all. I’ll check it out, but not in theaters.

Still, I felt the same way as Sean. I walked out of the movie feeling good and kind of liking it for intangible reasons. “Emotionally invested” is a good term Sean. For me, that’s it exactly.

More Reed please!

That guy is seriously funny!

Also a review of The Spirit would be cool for next time because I love hearing you guys rag on a flick (according to Rotten Tomatoes its pretty terrible).
