...could go on. And sure, you and I and Danny Fanboy over there could come up with a list of nitpicks a yard long, too. (Did I mention that the camera photos have a strange glowy, vaseline-y quality to them? And personally I like a hardware button to press to take pictures, instead of software, placed parallel to the plane of the device, or I end up with shaky images.

You don't see a lot of 60-year-old women with 20-year-old men onscreen. PITT: You will in Benjamin Button. [Pitt is currently shooting The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, in which his character ages backward.] Sixty and 20 to be exact. CLOONEY: You're playing 20? Really? DAMON: There's a lot of cgi.
