I'll see your pointless Benjamin Button, and raise you an inane Slumdog Millionaire. This is the frontrunner for Best Frelling Picture? WTF???
I've already ranted about Button. Well-filmed, nicely acted, interesting life tale and love story ... but absolutely no point made about the central gimmick of a life lived backwards ... rendering it simply a gimmick. Enjoyed it while it was playing out, started hating it one second after I left the theater.
I didn't hate Slumdog. But I'm astounded this piece of fluff and quasi PoorNogaphy is even nominated for Best Picture, much less the odds-on favorite to win. OMG, I give up.
