Because the world is nothing if not balanced, last week’s perfect and uplifting Drive trailer lawsuit is now followed up with an imperfect and sad Hangover II lawsuit. Two sides of the coin. C’est la vie. So it goes. This guy, Michael Alan Rubin, is suing The Hangover II for allegedly stealing the plot of the movie from a script he wrote about his own terrible honeymoon in Thailand and India. I thought it sounded familiar! From The Hollywood Reporter:
According Rubin’s federal lawsuit, filed last week in Calfornia, he married a Japanese woman named Tamayo in 2007 in Japan. Together, the couple honeymooned in Thailand and India where differences started arising over Rubin’s financial condition. During the honeymoon trip, Tamayo refused to share a hotel room with the luckless plaintiff.
Rubin is suing for copyright infringement, misappropriation of his publicity rights, and defamation. On the latter claim, he believes the filmmakers suggested the inference that he was under the influence of drugs when he ditched his girlfriend and proposed to a male-to-female transexual prostitute.
It is true that I had already written off Michael Alan Rubin as a drug user after seeing him ditch his girlfriend and propose to a male-to-female transexual prostitute in The Hangover II, so it all really make sense and I hope he wins three kabillion dollars. GREAT LAWSUIT! But he can at least be grateful that he isn’t a part of THESE LAWSUITS:
- Man suing Buffalo ’66 for Vincent Gallo looking just like him.
- Man suing Memento for stealing all of his tattoo ideas.
- Man suing Pi for the scene with the drill, because that was HIS thing that he does.
- Man suing Drop Dead Fred for stealing his story about his relationship with a child he knows.
- Man suing American Beauty for everything about it.
- Man suing Transformers for taking his life away because now the only thing he cares about is Transformers.
YOU SEE? It could be worse, Michael Alan Rubin. Relax.

•Man suing The Help for not washing his dishes.
i’m looking forward to his list of witnesses:
Transexual Thai Prositute
Jean Vest-Jacket Wearing Monkey
Seth Galiakfinakis
Mike Tyson
I’m going to sue the 1985 River Phoenix vehicle The Explorers because for about 12 years I couldn’t figure out if I’d actually seen those aliens or just made them up.
Man suing The Muppets for stealing his idea to fuck pigs.
Didn’t Hangover part 2 already get sued over stealing the Mike Tyson face tatoo? I think they’re getting pranked.
Wait, you can do this? What’s the statute of limitations? Because the writers and producers of Trading Places owe me some serious TBS-every-weekend cash. #iambillyvalentine
I wanted to sue Drop Dead Fred for ruining all of the good memories I had from the Young Ones, but the statute of limitations had expired.
Pink Floyd suing Transformers: Dark of the Moon for stealing their album title, someone pointing out it’s “Dark of the Moon,” not “Dark Side of the Moon,” Pink Floyd saying, “Well that’s just stupid.”
Man dreaming about suing Inception.
Or is he?
alley oop
The real long con here was the producers of the Hangover II changing the details of Rubin’s story ever so slightly, setting it in Vegas and putting out The Hangover first, to make The Hangover II look like an unassuming sequel without a single original idea it could have ripped off from anywhere besides its precursor. Genius.
-Local embalming specialist suing The Expendables II for using his techniques without permission on the lead actors.
-al-Qaeda leaders suing United 93 for obvious reasons.
-Mailman suing himself for replying to Pam with totally unrelated content
From what I’ve heard Hangover I should be suing Hangover II for using the same plot.
I want to sue ABC Family for cancelling Greek. And not bringing back Make It or Break It fast enough… ARE THEY GOING TO THE OLYMPICS OR NOT??? Also, there have been suspiciously fewer Harry Potter weekends than usual. This is television to which I have become accustomed and my life has become severely affected by their recent decisions.

-Man sues “Schindler’s List” for stealing his idea for a summer camp for obese children
You know, I sincerely think Be Kind, Rewind may have been based on an idea I posted on the internet. If I sued I’d probably on the hook for millions in losses.
(My idea was that you could get together with your friends and tape shitty improvs based on current movies, and then get somebody to sell them on the street as bootlegs. Image how funny that would be. You have to admit, it is basically the same thing as the Gondry movie.)
In other news, Michael J Fox, Alan Rickman and Rick Rubin have teamed up and are counter suing Michael Alan Rubin for name infringement, misappropriation of their names, and defa-name-tion. Also, Rick Rubin is counter-counter suing Alan Rickman for misappropriating his first name and using it to make up half of his surname. None of this is more ridiculous than what is actually happening!
Uhh…. spoiler alert.
