The Curious Case of Joe Budden
By: SN · January 22, 2009
What if the movie were titled “The Curious Case of Joe Budden” instead of “The Curious Case of Benjamin Button?”
Gary Coleman could have found some work for the first portion of the movie.
The movie could have followed the curious arc of Joe Budden’s career (inital great success, followed by…nothingness).
Jay-Z could have married Cate Blanchett.
Cate Blanchett could have been omitted from the movie and someone hotter cast in her stead (really, this could have happened regardless. No offense, Cate Blanchett fans, but she convincingly played a man in a movie last year).
Budden could have had beef with Dr. Dre and Run DMC at the retirement home.
There could have been a montage set to “Pump It Up” of Budden aging backwards.
This movie, in all likelihood, would not have been nominated for 13 Oscars.
