The classic chicken versus the egg scenario. The unseen dimension allows for every point in our existance to be both linked but independent. Sort of a predetermination model of existance. So we arent really linear, ie one point leads to another point and so on. Instead that chain of events is a set feature. So a point in the future can interact with one in the past and no problem occurs.
Now my head hurts.
I think a majority of the people that got into the movies are the ones who have read the books first.
I personally read the first 6 books in a week during a Christmas holiday. The first two sucked but got better from book 3 on. (probably because she was slowly learning to write as she went along with the stories)
There is a massive amount of imagination at play and the only reason why I liked the movies is because I got to see how someone else imagined the story into a movie.
I can only imagine that adults that simply watched the movies instead of reading the books first were just 'meh' about the whole thing. There's some adult themes in the later books that didn't manifest very well in the movies. (Racism, death, media/gov, fear)
The tinfoil kept scratching my head. Plus made me real nervous during a thunderstorm. My pumpkin is nice and soft, plus it acts as a shield from the government mind control satellite.
i think some of yall are confusing "over rated" for " bad".... movies that received high praise but basically suck include
1) any Tom Hanks movie, ever... except maybe Cast Away
2) Rudy
3) Casino or Goodfellas

I remember shot taken in Walterboro, cutting grass on a football field and football practice with Bear Bryant & Beaufort for other scenes...

Vietnam scenes were filmed at Hunting Island in Beaufort. And a lot of the running scenes were filmed from Beaufort roads and bridges

That's you? I always thought that was a picture of Dabo from his days at Alabama.
I always found it interesting that a person like Forest who is considered (and I'm trying to be pc ) as " slow", becomes a student at Bama.
Didn't like the 3rd book? I felt that one was finally getting into 'good' territory.
Favorite books were #5 and #6.
MCU movies are not all the same. Maybe you stopped watching superhero movies in the 80s.
Ugh, I took a girl while at USC here because it got awards. So much for getting in her pants.
Goodfellas was awesome. I liked castaway and won’t see Rudy it just looks so cheesy. I read where the story is t true anyway.
Did we ever actually see Forrest attend class, take an exam, etc? He ran like a freaking deer on Bear Bryant's football team. I'm pretty sure Alabama didn't demand too much of him academically.
Good call. Sans Saving Private Ryan , which was awesome.
Also exclude are Band of Brothers and , to a degree , the Pacific
Come to think of it, my number one is wrong.
I’ll just go Star Wars Trilogy
Goodfellas is about 1 1/2 too long. Same with Casino.
Scorsase (sp) has a lot of really good movies, but they tend to drag on. Which is fine for most of them.
But those two are just not that good.
You should see "Being There" with Peter Sellers who played a simpleton. Everyone around him took his "simpleton" utterances as profound wisdom. One of the funniest movies I have ever seen. I highly recommend.
i disagree with the last, Something about Mary, I ROFLMAO... notice scribbled on the wall..
I did see it. Very funny, there's a message to take away from that movie
No, I still sample one from time to time. They follow basically the same plot. I've already seen that so I go looking for something I haven't seen. But this is a thread about personal opinions so there you go.
Might I suggest "Big Jake"? The acting was just awful. Patrick Wayne couldn't act his way out of a wet paper bag. The little kid wasn't bad. We was actually John Wayne's grandson. But I love to watch it and just laugh. But it isn't a comedy. "I thought you was dead. Not hardly.."
