what else am I missing

I need to revisit Gump to finally form a definitive take on it. Really loved it as a teen but upon reflection it feels like a movie that veers awkwardly between making fun of Americana and earnestly buying into it. I feel like it's become such a ubiquitous piece of pop culture that neither its fans nor its haters really acknowledge how weird and contradictory it often is.

You're trying too hard.

 

It's only funny when it's actually an accident

I wasn't trying to name typos, I was trying to name the porn version counterpart of each movie

i generally see forrest gump as a critique on american culture that is sympathetic to its lead but still mocks and damns the system that can lead to his success and robin wright's failure. think that's what it's going for and i mostly buy into it that way. i get that there's kind of a push and pull with that approach.

And it's not funny so stop

BTTF first two are so meh that I, a pathological completist, never bothered with the third one.

 

It's actually incredible how family movies deemed classics always leave me cold and indifferent. I can't quite put my finger on what has changed. Maybe it's the fact I didn't grow up with them?

considering your opinion on stuff that stretches beyond family films, i think it might just be your exceedingly bad taste in general.

Man Gump was just a beast, look at those weekend drops

 And I thought Forrest Gump was about the Shrimp industry all along.

As a kid I remember watching BTTF and BTTF2 non stop and I think I watched the third one like once and then I was like nah I'll just stick with the other two

I don't care about the sequels but the first Back to the Future is awesome.

Could be, but I dunno. 

 

Every now and then I go with the flow, but when it comes to family movies I'm pretty consistent.

I guess I can see a case for BTTF 2 being a bit overrated (though great), but I haven't seen it in awhile. BTTF 1 is legendary for a good reason.

Goffe sometimes has terribad opinions (Children of Men being too political is a lowkey WOAT take I saw recently) but I also find myself agreeing a ton about modern blockbusters, particularly superhero movies, so it's a really a rollercoaster of a time. *Jason Mamoa voice* I dig it.
