Liveblogging This Poster For Benjamin Button
I know that Benjamin Button has been out for almost a month now. All the SNOOZE that's fit to print. Not that I've actually seen the movie. No time! These videos of teenagers setting off firecrackers in their butts aren't going to write lame commentary on their own! But I had never seen this poster before, had you? It's pure LOL. Here were my thoughts while I was looking at it:
:01 I didn't know Maya Angelou was in Benjamin Button
:14 Wait, Benjamin Button ages in reverse, right? So this is actually a picture of Maya Angelou holding an elderly Benjamin Button?
:32 So where's Cate Blanchett then?
:40: PUT DOWN MY MAN, MAYA ANGELOU
:53 that was Cate Blanchett telling Maya Angelou to put down her man
Perfect. If you liked that (you didn't like that), you're going to LOVE my take on the Italian poster for Cruel Intentions. Basta!

Gabe, you are in rare form today. And by rare form, I mean rare like a form of a terrible disease that is resistant to all known antibiotics. Take a nap before you turn this into Bitchygum.
Score = 7
I guess this could be considered a mild spoiler alert, but he is born a super old baby and ages accordingly, so he grows just like a normal child would grow, but looks different. So that's a picture of a newborn Ben Button (and "Maya Angelou" is his mom).
Score = 1
That's not Maya Angelou. If it was, the title would read: "From the Womb of the Earth Came A Child that Would Send the Aroma of Motherly Love Love to Only One His Name Was Benjamin Button (starring Brad Pitt and Cate Blanchette)."
Score = 7
Less Maya Angelou and more Erykah Badu.
Score = 0
He's a creepy old baby at the beginning and then an actual baby old man at the end. This movie was so terrible, I've never seen a less subtle movie that wasn't a porno.
Score = 1
That's not the Benjamin Button poster.

The real Benjamin Button poster is just Brad Pitt and Cate Blanchett's faces.

That looks like a Variety ad for Tariji P. Henson.

I think this is a really striking image. I like it a lot.
Score = 0
it was a little weird to see an old version of Brad Pitt's face pasted onto a kid's body, but i guess that's why they call it a "curious case"
Score = 0
