Top 100 Things IMDB users have learned from The Curious Case of Benjamin Button

(9) Prostitutes are sluts (I knew that already, I didn't wait for the movie).
(10) The aging make-up still sucks in the movies.
(11) Computers makes you look younger.
(12) You can make a silly idea that can be put in a 15 minutes sketch to a 2.5 hours $150 million movie and get away with it.
(13) Abandon your wife and child if you don't think you will be mature enough to take care of them
(14) it's okay to have an affair with a married person as long as you find them fascinating
(15) if you are the father of a woman's child, you can have sex with her whenever you want even if you left her and she got married
(16) Submarines are no match for tugboats
(17) It's totally acceptable to withhold your entire career - your main passion in life - from your child until the last hours of your life.
(18) If you dance into the street you will probably get hit by a car and ruin your career as a dancer.
(19) Now you know why trains never left the New Orleans station on time for 80 years.

(26) Playing the piano is like riding a bicycle. You never forget it, even if you haven't played for years.

(28) Don't go unarmed against machine guns
(29) Hummingbirds can be found at sea

(31) Prostitutes will sleep with anyone including really old men

(37) I can check my watch 17 times in one movie
(38) You can leave a crippled old man with the mind of a 7-year old in a part of the city he's never been to, and he'll always find his way home safely.
(39) We can add hummingbirds to the list of items that symbolize someone's spirit trying to talk to you.
(40)hummingbirds can still fly in the rough intense deadly winds of hurricane katrina
(41)Even after being born with a fantastic mutation that reverse ages you, you can still lead a very boring, unremarkable life.
(42) Just because its 2009 does not mean we can not use the old 'Magical Negro' story device.

(54) A M1911 pistol is no match for a M42 machinegun.
(55) If you're going to play a piano, make sure your audience isn't deaf.
(56) It is perfectly reasonable to marry a man you feel nothing for if your daughter needs a father, and not a playmate. That man will be perfectly happy just being a background character in your extraordinary life and will not hold it against you if you sleep with the real father of your child who just got back from screwing around in India for a decade.
(57) Clockmakers make good row boatmen!
(58) Infidelity and abandonment of your loved ones are okay as long as you age in reverse.

(67) Doctors were so smart 80 years ago that they could diagnose an infant with being born an old man after a 10 second examination, even though no doctor had ever seen anything like it before.
(68) You can't smoke in a hospital.
(69) A magic clock intended to bring back dead soldiers instead creates a naive, bland human being with a rather sheltered, ordinary life.
(70) You can't die in a hospital bed until you get EVERYTHING off your chest. After that, THEN you can die.
(71) The hurricane will wait for you to spill your guts to your daughter before it brings its full force to bear on the hospital where you are dying.
(72) Somehow, even a movie pining for Oscar glory will eerily mirror Razzie-winner "Freddy Got Fingered" (scene where lady finally swims English Channel resembles part where Betty finishes her rocket-wheelchair, and both Tom Green and Brad Pitt watch it on TV and feel encouraged to go on with their lives).
(73) Everyone in New Orleans sounds like a low-rent comedian's exaggerated impression of Scarlet O'Hara.
(74) The guy who gets struck by lightning is guaranteed to make everyone laugh in the theater everytime he repeats the same thing.
(75) Being a faith healer, and therefore more in touch with God than us mere mortals, doesn't guarantee you won't abruptly fall dead after a heart attack during a meeting.
(76) Nobody thinks to put a pretty, historic, backwards-running clock in a museum?
(77) You should always end an affair with a pleasant note such as, "Nice to have met you." (or something like that)

(84) That if you want to make a butt load of money, all you have to do is re-write Forrest Gump and sell it to the American public! They'll buy anything!!!
(85) United States of America spells out F-R-E-E-D-O-M
(86) U-boats always surfaced in enemy waters after an attack with enemy vessles around.
(87) U-boats would prefer to engage enemy ships with the 7.92mm AA mg rather than the 5 inch deck gun, or even just submerge and get the hell out of there...
(88) You can live for 85 years and the only funny thing you'll ever hear is a old man recounting the times he was struck by lightning.
(89) Only people who age backwards have to experience the pain and suffering of seeing the people they love die before they do.
(90) Tugboat business slow in the Big Easy? Head for Murmansk!
(91) If you have a 80yr old new born infant, DEFINATELY throw it in the river & save people three hours of their life!

(94) The struck-by-lightning story grew older quicker then Brad Pitt grew younger.
(95) The wives of British spies are easier to pick up than week old Dog's droppings.
(96) If you do something stupid like dance out into the middle of a street without looking both ways and happen to get hit by a taxi, it's not your fault: it's actually due to a complicated series of Chaos Theory events that had nothing to do with your own actions.
(97) If you have a bad feeling like you you're going to die, but want your wife to know that you were thinking of her, just give your money to some random guy who looks trustworthy; it'll get where it's going.
(98) They dont have laundrettes in India.
(99) You can strucked by lightening 7 times but it will need a lot of time to tell it.

A library card
At 3:45 AM on election day, the Somerville fire department accidentally sent an all-points bulletin about a fire on Walnut street, intended for department heads, to everyone in town who registered to receive City updates on snow emergencies and street sweeping through its Connect CTY system. On the David Square livejournal, duffless2323 responded to those seeking apologies:
The city has offered restitution for those affected. They have made arrangements for any one affected to get a special pass/card which can be used at all branches of the somerville library. With this card you can check out not only books, but dvds and books on tape, FOR FREE. You just need to sign up.

Just a normal day...
From
curlytoes79 regarding the end of the 1978 version of Invasion of the Body Snatchers:
Looks like a normal day at a government agency to me!
Here's a better quality video:

The mess keeps getting messier...
Melinda, commenting on an article in the St. Petersburg Times, sums things up nicely. The Times reported about how Bubba The Love Sponge Clem contributed large sums of money to Sheriff Jim Coats campaign for reelection. From the article:
To date, Clem has given $1,000 to Coats under his own name. He also sent money to the campaign through seven corporations:Melinda's comment:
• The Bubba Radio Network ($500).
• Bubba Army ($500).
• BRN Shock Media ($500).
• BTLS Web Media ($500).
• B3H Web Holdings ($100).
• BRN Travel, Inc. ($250).
• Intense Frequency ($500).
Clem promised $2,000 or $3,000 more from people including his wife, Heather, and his producer, Hatley.
If someone who legally changed his name to include 'Love Sponge' is this adept at creating shell corporations to evade taxes and buy influence, imagine how dirty it gets higher up the power ladder.

Gadget Reporter Goof
This is why I love comments.
Barron's Tech Trader Daily sent a reporter to stand in line for the new iPhone G3 and posted this initial entry:
Later, they write:
Here are some of the better comments:
With all do respect, Jay needs to understand that it has been stated on the Apple website and other sources that corporate/business customers need to go to an AT&T store and not to an Apple store.
Comment by John - July 11, 2008 at 9:24 am
Yup, Jay didn’t do his homework. He didn’t watch the AT&T video, or read the Apple or AT&T webpages on what to do to avoid exactly what happened to him.
Do reporters actually do any work?
Comment by mark - July 11, 2008 at 9:28 am
What a retard. Sounds like someone should have done their research before camping out like a loser in front a store to be one of the first to get an iPhone. If it was that big of a deal he would have purchased it without the discount. Schmuck.
Comment by Kris - July 11, 2008 at 9:28 am
And more:
iphone? wireless? internet?
I still use my rotary dial Mickey Mouse phone. The ringer is even adjustable.
Comment by smarty123 - July 11, 2008 at 10:47 am
Can the iphone be used to call up people or is it just a walkie talkie?
Comment by curious - July 11, 2008 at 10:50 am
Barron's Tech Trader Daily sent a reporter to stand in line for the new iPhone G3 and posted this initial entry:
"Barron’s Magazine gadget reporter Jay Palmer tells me he’s 14th in line to buy Apple’s (AAPL) iPhone 3G at the Apple store in Bridgewater Commons mall in central New Jersey, with about 100 people behind him..."
Later, they write:
"Update: Jay is leaving the Apple store, fuming mad. He says that after waiting for three hours, he’s been told he’s ineligible for a phone because of the 10% corporate discount he enjoys on his AT&T plan through Dow Jones, part of News Corp. (NWS) and publisher of this blog. Well, if you have some kind of corporate plan, you may experience some issues with your purchase, I guess. More on this once the smoke stops coming out of Jay’s ears."
Here are some of the better comments:
With all do respect, Jay needs to understand that it has been stated on the Apple website and other sources that corporate/business customers need to go to an AT&T store and not to an Apple store.
