17 Again and Hannah Montana the Movie are Actually Better Than This . . . Seriously Now

I really do not understand why the scriptwriters thought they could “improve” on the classic F. Scott Fitzgerald story, which was a well-written narrative with substance and a valid point to make. The horrid, plotless and pointless film has nothing to do with the original story (except for the title and the concept of aging backwards), and the Katrina and clockmaker framing devices are just utterly useless additions that contributed nothing to the script that actually went nowhere. Seriously now, “17 Again” and “Hannah Montana the Movie” have more solid plots — Criterion would’ve made more money with them instead.

Seriously, stop! This is ridiculous. No one’s interested in your childish rantings on this film. I don’t want to appear to be an asshole, but there is absolutely no need for another Benjamin Button thread. Come up with a new idea or stop posting new threads.

Ever heard of “freedom of speech,” Col.Dax? You don’t have the right to gag anyone . . . much more me. If you can’t stand my opinion, then don’t read it.

Oh, I’m not telling you that you can’t do this. It’s more of a plead for sanity. What have you said on this thread, or the other one you created, that couldn’t have been said on the many other Benjamin Button threads? Couldn’t you have just gone on Benjamin Button – Why, or Benjamin Button – What the Hell and said that Criterion should also release Hannah Montana, and 17 Again? I don’t see how anything you’ve said has added so much to the discussion of the film that we need to clog up these threads with yet another Benjamin Button thread.

Please, though, enlighten me. Prove your case that this thread was a necessity. I’m sorry if I was contemptuous before, but this is really getting ridiculous.

you’re an idiot.

you’re an idiot for thinking any movie would be worse than 17 again and hannah montana.

It should also be noted that this specific thread itself is redundant, even within the redundant world of Button threads, as Divinem has posted two “17 Again and Hannah Montanna Are Better” threads.

I would say troll, but his post history goes back five months.

All these Benjamin and the Curious Butt posts are giving me a headache.

Joe Banks: Was calling me an idiot necessary? In any case, you’ve been reported for the abuse.

I guess you don’t have an argument for why this thread was necessary?

Who do you guys think would win in a fight between Benjamin Button and Hannah Montana? Do you think there should be a sequel called “Hannah Montana Burst Her Button” or “Benjamin Button Goes to Hannah Montana?” That would be swell.
