Thank you so much you just gave me so much stronger reasons for hating that movie. I can't stand it but couldn't pinpoint one. All I could fall back on is that life is like a box of chocolates is a fucking stupid saying because you always know what you're gonna get, you're gonna get chocolates.

Oh my God, that was so thorough! Thank you. And, also, SOLD! Now I kind of want to watch Forrest Gump again and turn it into a drinking game where we drink every time the movie promotes an evil message.

Do tell! (Or get him to guest-comment.) And please don't get mad at me for not noticing the racism and evil myself, I haven't seen it since I was like 12.

Oh, sweet jesus. Five seconds in and there's already "what about _____?" comments. I need to start carrying a flask of hard liquor.

Spoken like someone with no clue what it means to be a minority member. Race politics is thrust upon us, not the other way around. You learn quickly how to navigate in a white world whether you want to or not. Especially when it comes to dealing with the Criminal Justice system. Cops are not our friends as some of us…

LOLing at Gremlins reference. This is going to be great. Can't wait to see it.

Great, now I need to go see Gremlins again!
