Thanks for the heads-up! I heard about last night’s event from this post, went, and had a good time. Hari Kondabolu & Kumail Nanjiani were especially awesome, but I also enjoyed the Ali Wong, Sheng Wang, and Baron Vaughn acts.

I saw on the Huffington Post the other day a story about this guy(Kumail) and John Mayer getting into a war of words on stage at a comedy club.

John Mayer the Rockstar/wanna be comedian was trying his luck at stand up comedy and it didnt go to well and Kumail was on right after him and I guess Kumail said some stuff that didnt sit well with John. Apparently John jumped up on stage during Kumail’s set and started called him “Kabul” instead of “Kumail.” Talking about another person’s race is the card people pull out when they have nothing witty to say.

Here is the link to the Huff post

Correction: The original story was set in Baltimore, but the movie is set in New Orleans @ Brad Pitt's request/ demand and incentives given by State of Louisiana.

Many have also stated that the movie was also too similar to Forrest Gump - man who has xyz gimmick has different adventures throughout history, touching peoples' lives. Still can't believe they're remaking it with The Bachchan.

Has nothing to do with Forrest Gump

"The Curious Case of Benjamin Button" is a short story written by F. Scott Fitzgerald and first published in Colliers Magazine on May 27, 1922. It was subsequently anthologized in his book, Tales of the Jazz Age, which occasionally is published as The Curious Case of Benjamin Button and Other Jazz Age Stories.

The original story was set in Boston, but the movie is set in New Orleans @ Brad Pitt's request/ demand. There are some significant differences between the movie and Fitzgerald's story, but nothing to do with Forrest Gump.

Very funny – as one comment on the youtube page stated – this bit wentï»¿ the best possible way it could have gone.

This guy is great. Best line – This movie is set during hurricane Katrina…….for no reason. Most money spent on Katrina.
