“It wasn’t until years later that I realized how pivotal that moment had been, not only for my own life but also for the lives of those around me, but, as would eventually learn, there are some things you simply can’t appreciate at the tender age of forty-four...” ~ Narrator (Daniel Stern), The Wonder Yearses (1993-?)

Just one more thing: me too.

Winston Groom’s book is funny, caustic, and nothing like the film. The differences between the two are encapsulated in the opening lines. While the movie opens with the wholesome “Life is like a box of chocolates” line, the book opens like this:

Yeah, the books are fucking batshit. Most egregiously because, instead of making Gump just sort of a hapless but amenable fellow, Gump:
1) looks like young Brad Pitt
2) is an idiot-savant in physics
3) can be mean and not a little bit sociopathic
4) and he ends up crash landing a fucking space shuttle onto a…

I think this tends to get overlooked. The word itself is obviously distasteful (and there is a certain amount of “I’m being so naughty!” glee in Tarantino casting himself as the one saying it), but the important thing is to watch Jules in that moment; he’s clearly seething, but he chokes it down because he needs this…

Why should I care about a podcast run by the NewsRadio janitor?

If Joe Rogan’s podcast is the “jewel of your podcasting empire”, your empire is shit.

That’s crazy, and really, really true. Never realized that before, and I grew up on classical music. May have even played it in junior orchestra. 

Man, all I can think of when I watch these commercials is the hours of utter garbage us 70's kids watched. Loved every shitty minute of it, too.

I was waiting for the redemption arc that never came.

One time, I got really high and meant to go out for a cigarette but in passing through the common room of the dorm there was a “Scooby Doo” marathon on the TV, and it was about at the end of the last episode of the stretch, so I sat down to watch it, because it’s “Scooby Doo.”

Joe Ruby? Action Jack? It all fits! Joe Ruby was trying to tell us in the medium of animation the truth of the murder of Oswald by Joe’s relative Jack Ruby!

Maybe it’s because I use Chrome exclusively on my laptop, but I have that “Free to Me” on Prime as well. Don’t just start looking for stuff, familiarize yourself with the site before getting all pissed off. Also, that “Prime” banner will pretty much clue you in before you find yourself signing up for a free week or…

Bite my soggy metal ass

EMPTY CHAIR 2020

Was it the right Jon Voight though?  Did you match up the slap mark with his hand?

Let’s be honest, Disney doesn’t care about this movie and that’s ultimately why they probably just don’t want to do the work of providing review copies and really don’t care if nobody shows up to watch it. 

Wow, it’s crazy how so many Trump supporters are turning out to be horrible people in their personal lives!

He actually kept Not Sure on after Sure disagreed with him and turned out to be right. He learned from his mistakes.

President Camacho actually listened to his advisors. Or advisor. Or, you know, Not Sure.
