Jenny dies from it and I guess people extrapolate that he does too because they have sex? There's no actual indication of this though. I wish he did though because that movie is loving trash

Its barely a loving movie it's just "HEY BOOMERS REMEMBER THIS THING THAT HAPPENED??? LOOK HOW SPECIAL AND IMPORTANT YOU WERE!!" over and over accompanied by the most obvious possible music cues. Tom Hanks is very charming and likable if you can ignore the kinda gross depiction of mental disabilities but that's pretty much the only thing remotely holding it together.

Not that they're waiting on my permission, but I think baby boomers should be allowed to feel good about themselves.

When I was growing up people always told me I sounded like Forrest Gump. Like, strangers would tell me that.

In 10th grade world history, we had to pick a historic event and do a 15 minute presentation/video on it... One girl picked "JFK" as her event and literally just showed a 15 minute video of still shots of JFK with no narrative and had the Forrest Gump soundtrack playing behind it. Our teacher, being a boomer, gave her an A+.

Bad, very bad!
I thought Forrest Gump was good the first and only time I saw it, but I never had any desire to watch it ever again.

I'm watching Mizzou/Illinois from 2007 on SECN's Missouri day and find myself getting angry about officiating from a game 10 years ago that I already know my team won.

Im glad they also do the BTN thing where they pretend the team was always in the conference.

Australians not caring about American football will be more taken in by the cynical hijinks of the Rice Band which will lead to the destruction of Stanford as an institution of higher learning within 20 years.

What MV said, with extra emphasis on that being the corniest loving major movie in history. At best it's offensively washed, at worst it's a crystallization of all that boomers have hosed up.
