Forrest Gump: Love it or Hate it?

with the release in imax, i decided to give it another shot (netflix).

admittedly, i've never been a fan of the movie, but didn't really care about it one way or the other. after forcing myself through half of it, my opinion has changed to steaming pile of crap.

is it supposed to be humorous? if so, the jokes fall flat with a storyline that tries too hard to appeal to baby boomers. best acting came from jenny's horror stricken college roommate, who was trying not to scream at the thought of anyone wanting to bed gump.

and yet, this beat out shawshank redemption and pulp fiction for best picture.

i'd rather watch transformers 14 with antipop.
