    Anyone that votes for Gump is a communist...
    Anyone who votes for Unforgiven is a monarchist.  =)
    I love the movie but just didn't think it was quite as great as Braveheart overall.  
    I love Braveheart too - not sure which one I love more. Both have stars that kinda turned out to be jerks, especially Braveheart, but I'm not a cancelling type.
    What did Clint do? That’s the second time I’ve read something negative about him around here recently. 
    Paralyzed the million dollar baby. IDK not gonna get into that.

    Lots of great movies got robbed in the 90's, but none more than Shawshank. That was a shiv in the shower loss. 
    It's a hopeless situation...

    Am I the only one who is not a fan of Dahmer-like horror films?  Looks like it.

    Lol. Come on now.

    The biggets snub of the 90s was Linda Hamilton not winning or being nominated for Terminator 2.

    I don't have any particular stake in baking Forest Gump as good or great movie- I like it, didn't love it- but I have yet to understand why some loath that movie so much.  What is it about that film that some of you dislike (or even hate) so much?  I'm not defending the film or looking for an argument, just curious.

    I don't hate it, but I thought it was silly.
    The story, some of the acting, the story, the story, the story - cheeseball stuff.  
    Also, it gave the world people trying to imitate Tom Hanks' diction, which is not a good thing.
    Soooo many bad imitation attempts.
    Also....Bubba Gump Shrimp restaurants.

    It was a bit groundbreaking in the video department...inserting Gump into video with Kennedy, etc.  Also some great Vietnam scenes.

    Did Spielberg use CCR during Vietnam footage in Forrest Gump, or did that eye-rollingly over cliched shotchoice only find it's way into his The Post film?

    While Forrest Gump sucks just about as hard as a Spielberg film, Robert Zemeckis (a.k.a., Spielberg was busy) directed the film.

    Fuck ofc. Brainfart. 

    Should be noted, Zemeckis also directed Cast Away, and then What Lies Beneath and then Cast Away again.

    I can't harsh on Princess Buttercup too much but yes, even Jenny was silly. 


    Chris, you don't find Gump to be cheesy? 
    I do not hate it.  Just cannot watch it again.

    Unforgiven
    Gump haters....let's not forget some of the horrid writing in Unforgiven.  The verbiage at the beginning and ending of the film looked like a 3rd grader wrote it.  It was rumored he was a fucking dry goods merchant?  That seems like pretty detailed information to me.

    William Munny had long since sold
	the place and disappeared with the
	children... some said to San
	Francisco where it was rumored he
	prospered as a dry goods merchant
	under a different name.
