I generally enjoyed The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, though it's doing the opposite of growing on me. The further I get from it, the less I think of it. (But I'll probably watch it again when it's released on DVD.) And I can't exactly put my finger on why that is - maybe because I'm not sure the movie really said anything - but Jimmy Kimmel might have figured out what was ultimately missing: Batman.
There we go. Now if Brad Pitt had gotten in some brawls and kicked a little ass, as he did in his other collaborations with David Fincher, maybe we would've had a Best Picture winner.

Jon Stewart Has No Curiosity For Benjamin Button
I enjoyed The Curious Case of Benjamin Button for the most part (though I'd lean toward outrage if it wins the Best Picture Oscar), but Jon Stewart's thoughts on the film were still pretty hilarious.
That was from Tuesday's show, if you missed it, which also included a fun interview with Slumdog Millionaire's Dev Patel.

How Brad Pitt Was Made Old and Short
What I hoped would be a DVD extra for The Curious Case of Benjamin Button was largely shown on the CBS Evening News last week. Thanks, Katie Couric!
That's sort of how I guessed the filmmakers created the "young" Benjamin Button, but it's still pretty cool to see the process at work.
You can also see a video of Brad Pitt's make-up job here.

UPDATE: Here's a slideshow from nytimes.com that shows more of the motion capture work that was done.
