Benjamin Button Is A Literary Rip Off, Says Real Author Who Really Wrote It
In the eighties we pretty much plagiarised the crap out of everything JRR Tolkien ever wrote. Well, we say "plagiarised" loosely. We certainly stole most of his characters, themes and settings, but we made them better by including several direct references to Samuel L Jackson (Frodo keeps babbling about Sam's short role in Spenser: For Hire). Our books were awesome - and Peter Jackson somehow thought so too - because he stole the whole thing and turned it into a fairly popular Hollywood franchise. Minus all the S. Jackson references. Kind of reminds us of current accusatory Benjamin Button goings-on, actually.

Oscar Nominations: The Dark Knight Gets Blanked
Remember all that talk about how The Dark Knight should be given an Oscar nomination for Best Picture? Yeah, it didn't happen. The Oscar nominations have just been announced and, while The Curious Case Of Benjamin Button has managed to rack up 13 nominations, The Dark Knight has been comprehensively snubbed. Shut out of the Best Picture and Best Director categories, the only real hope that The Dark Knight has of winning an Oscar in a big category now is with Heath Ledger's Best Supporting Actor nomination. And even if he does win, his acceptance speech is bound to be crap.
