BENJAMIN FORREST BUTTON GUMP
01.19.09It’d been a few years since I’d seen Forrest Gump when I saw Benjamin Button, and it was still impossible not to notice the similarities. The case that screenwriter Eric Roth plagiarized himself is even more damning with the evidence presented side by side in this video, which calls Button “exactly like Gump, except, no AIDS”. Though it did have Hurricane Katrina, which is basically the new AIDS. If you ask me, the biggest mistake of Button was not getting this guy in there somehow. Don’t get judgy, you know your ass would’ve been stealing beer too.
UPDATE: Says commenter “Orca-fat”: “Umm, Forrest Gump wasn’t from Louisiana. He was from Alabama. He played football for the Crimson Tide. I know all those ignorant red-staters are pretty much the same, like everyone with skin darker than mine, but the video emphasizes ‘raised in Louisiana’ and ‘New Orleans voiceover’ when the question of home state is possibly the only actual difference between the two movies.” Good point. I probably should’ve caught that.

This is just like Hotel Rwanda and Hotel For Dogs. Who are you fooling, Don Cheadle?
*chodin shows up in thread with a plastic tub of beer*
Jesus, look at my timing!
Yeah but is Benjamin Button a retard?
I felt the same kind of betrayal when my ex girlfriend made me sit through ‘Radio’. I was like, “Oh right, so it’s cool to give me a handjob during ‘What About Bob’, but this guy is just TOO retarded for you, is that it!?”.
If my actual name was Benjamin Button, I’d enter gay porn under the alias Ben Jammin’ Butt.
I’d do the exact same thing as the guy stealing beer, only I have a huge conscience, so I’d replace all that booze with Sunny-D. Because let’s be honest, nobody would really care that you were stealing a shit-ton of fucking Sunny-D.
I already thought “Buttons” looked lame. This merely verifies that!
I’m pretty sure that I’ve plagiarized myself on every love letter I’ve ever written for a girl:
“If yOu LEave ThIS caBIn, I WILL tRaCK yoU doWN with DOgs. -XOxo”
The white man took his culture, so he took the white mans beer.
Eric Roth’s next script will be a totally unrelated project about a retarded guy who eats buttons.
Seems like an appropriate time to wish all a Happy Martin Luther King Jr Day! QAPLAH!
(for good reading, look up and read the letter he wrote in jail)
Fek, re: your contribution to the last thread . . . I don’t know where or how you find that shit but help is only a phone call away.
It’s been a few years since I had sex with my dad, but when I engaged in intercourse with my uncle, it was still impossible not to notice the similarities.
The theater near Union Square had the movie listed as “Ben Buttons” on its marquee.
Seems way more fun that way, doesn’t it?
If’n this comparison ain’t asking the age old question. Which makes ol’ CCH hornier, little kids or old people? And the answer? It’s a trick question, because I’ll nail ‘em all in the ol’ Winnybango. Which reminds me, Emmalee, you wanna meet for lunch at a Hardees in Akron and then bang one out in the dumpster?
Cross Country, I am more of a “Truck Stop Bathroom” kinda’ gal.
Chodin, I am so upset that the note you left was not written just for me.
*sniff*
So was Mama Heat.
erswi-When He reaches out to touch someone, it is always ends up being “inappropriately”.
How is Katrina the new AIDS? Katrina only killed black people and homosexual….
Oh.
Eibz, it was just for you. I’d never write another girl a sexy note and begin it with “Dear Mom, let’s fuck…”.
I feel better now. Thanks Cho.
Very revealing, illuminating, edifying, video.
In the words of the great Ashton Kutcher, “Burn!’
Has Ashton Kutcher faded into obscurity yet? I mean, besides the whole Demi Moore thing? It seems about time.

And why the hell did my comment show up twice?
Probably for emphasis TyBo.
Patty wth are you doing? your new avatar is not sexy go back to Chuck!!!
Well if you’re looking to bring The ‘Kutch back from obscurity, posting his name over and over might help.
So he’s like Beetlejuice?
Umm, Forrest Gump wasn’t from Louisiana. He was from Alabama. He played football for the Crimson Tide.
