You say New York New York.

Honestly, hell yeah. This is the only way this movie could be creatively viable: just make it fucking nuts. The first film was far too self-serious for its own good, I’d honestly like it if this new one were looser and more fun.

My favourite idiotic insult I’ve eve got was on an article I wrote about five years back about a local infrastructure project, in which I appeared in an explainer video.

I hear in the sequel Joker’s going to go from Dancing to Gary Glitter to Dancing to R. Kelly.

It’s Todd Phillips. He’s been pulling that boring shtick for fucking decades

I don’t think she’s a sociopath or anything. Everything I’ve read about her suggests that she’s a sincere, genuine person - sometimes you just gotta redo something, even if it’s a natural display of emotion.

This will surely be the Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark of Joker movies.

Let’s get real wild with it. That Thing You Do is better than Braveheart give him Best Picture for that one.

Hanks has more of a right to bemoan Saving Private Ryan losing Best Picture to Shakespeare in Love.

I’ve never read it but it’s my understanding that Gump is presented as a more complicated and less upright character in the book.

It could make a facinating double bill with another eventual remake, “Peter Benchley’s Jaws”, which, if you've read the book, is just Jaws, but awful.

can’t wait for someone to eventually get the terrible idea to do a forest gump series that’s closer to the book. in the book, the lietenant dan character is in it, but gump spends most of his time with a chimp who speaks sign language that he worked with when he went to space. yes, he goes to space in the book.

I didn’t realize Forrest Gump was a controversial win. I’m guessing much of this controversy comes from Tarantino bros, but Pulp Fiction was shit.

Touche. That film was decades ahead of its time. 

Nah, the best film of 1994 was the Chris Elliott vehicle “Cabin Boy”.

You do have to admit, Mr. Hanks is a pretty smart guy. From the New York Times interview:

Pulp Fiction or Forrest Gump, it’s purely academic, because the absolute best film of that year wasn’t even nominated, and it was Three Colors: Red.
