One of my co-bloggers dealt with those Amish heaters at the beginning of the year:

And I’m willing to bet that Benjamin Button will be in the very good to excellent range. Fincher hasn’t made a bad film. Zodiac was superb.
Hi Jack,
Benjamin Button might receive praise from critics, but I have zero interest in ever seeing it. It’s just not my kind of movie. I think the same goes for Greg.
I didn’t See Zodiac, but might rent it based on your recommendation. Thanks! Have you ever seen Heavy Metal? If so, what did you think?
Someone posted a good comment on the blog entry you linked to: the Amish aren’t allowed to have their pictures taken! The whole heater thing is one giant scam.
Zodiac (2007) was good, although I liked the “other” Zodiac film, titled The Zodiac (2006) better. It was done with a much lower budget, and centered more on the investigators than the killer so much.
I think I’ve said on the show before, that I like Brad Pitt as an actor, as do I Cate Blanchett. However, the premise of the movie is so idiotic I can’t give it credence.
