I realize (assume?) you're being largely facetious, but the biggest problems with Trump don't stem from a lack of IQ.

Think about it like this: if Forrest Gump was a real person, he'd make an infinitely superior president than Trump. I'd argue that is also true for the vast majority of real Americans that have an IQ in the range of the fictional Gump.

Putting the knives through the paddles could be possible. And cool.

The pineapple one is fake for two reasons:
a) it's not possible to practice it safely -- the margin of error is too small for humans
b) the odds of hitting the pineapple exactly horizontal in both x- and z-planes are too long
c) I frame-by-framed it, and the perfect cut in the pineapple appears before the knife hits it
I'm guessing that knife was made of rubber, or was CGI'ed in later.

The ping-pong ball one might be possible, but in this case, I'm sure it was faked. I think she had the ball in her mouth the whole time and the ball was CGI'ed in later like in Forrest Gump and the Bruce Lee one. If it were real, her mouth would have been open wider and longer before the ball got there, and she would have been using a sharp intake of breath to increase the chances of catching it.

Great show though. Upvote!

He did rather well in Forrest Gump and The Terminal, imo.

I already knew Zemeckis could do a crash scene well from Cast Away, but dayum. Now I want to see this.

Also, while I recognize HOW he lands the plane is a spoiler, and that this is likely the most memorable scene in the entire film, I'd challenge that the trailers kind of already ruin the inverted thing anyways. I didn't see anything here I wasn't expecting, I just never got around to seeing this one because buzz was mixed.

I love how many of Zemeckis' films don't feature a main antagonist. Forrest Gump, Cast Away, Flight... he seems to really enjoy atypical storytelling.

And the "LBJ in Forrest Gump Award for Bad CGI Mouth" goes to @ 56 seconds

dead


hahahahha I went to fix it without even knowing it was my own video... HAH..

Cant have that can we !

*backup=[...snipped...]

>> ^JiggaJonson:

Yeah but we shouldn't have a video with ten parts as ten posts...
I think it would get to be a bloat very fast.


I thought this only had two parts ?

I have never seen anyone do ten parts, three is the most I have seen. If someone had the thought to do multiples on the scale you mentioned they would be set straight.

In the words of Forrest Gump " that's all I have to say about that "

...trying to turn comedians into "serious" actors... With Hanks, it was A League of Thier Own


Yes, anyone would look superb in serious, melodramatic Oscar bait like "A Leauge fo Thier Onw". Why did they think a comedian could summon the requisite gravitas for such a serious subject? Were they trying to make fun of women's sports? Is there no crying in baseball?

Castaway.. That movie sucked. Five minutes of movie 'packed' into two hours.


Yes, if only he did better at acting there would have been more plot. Maybe he could have acted out some lasers and explosions for you. I don't think Tom Hanks is super amazing - and certainly not always - but he did a good job with a hard role in Castaway. I mean, sure, obviously you could just drop Forrest Gump in there and it's the same film, but what can you do. He's only one man.

Why don't you tell us who the great, currently active actors are, friendo? I've heard people (seriously) suggest scenery-chewers like Pacino or Denzellle. Sean bloody full-retard Penn? Jack Nicholson? OK. I like Jack Nicholson. But he's one dude and he's just barely still alive let alone active.

For my money, the best performance of the last decade was Matthew Lillard in the Scooby Doo movie (whatever the Hell it was called). Not gonna lie: it wasn't a great film. But flawless performance by Lillard. He was Shaggy. What else can you ask for in an actor than completely inhabiting a difficult role like that? Drop frickin' Sidney Poitier or Orson Welles in that movie and sure maybe it becomes watchable, but I doubt they nail the role like Lillard did.

I have never seen any of these movies (I did see The Fly one...) but I would say, if I did, imo, Green Mile was good. But I agree, Boons and Sin City sucked... and Req of a Dream... reminds me of my mother too much...

And where was As Good As It Get's and Kickass?

Upon seeing this comment referencing the one bad movie he could find in his opinion, I had to start writing a comment about it.
Seriously a list of aroung 50 movies that are clearly top-notch with some exceptions and you pick out 1, name it and declare this sift crap? And for that matter the taste of another person entirely? Well if that doesn't qualify for a severe case of douchbaggery, I don't know what else.
>> ^shuac:
Upon seeing The Boondock Saints, I had to stop. This person's taste is in his ass.


Don't misunderstand, Lux. This comp is filled with crap. I was just communicating (quite clearly, I thought) at what point I stopped watching. Here's the full list:
The Green Mile - ponderous, fantasy bullshit which makes it not for me.
Braveheart - far too many huge, huge liberties taken with historical fact. Ergo, not for me.
Sin City - all style, threadbare substance: not for me.
The Boondock Saints - a misfire from start to finish by a fevered ego.
Snatch - meh, simulacrum of the year in a series of similar flicks, not for me.
It's a Wonderful Life - jesus, give me a break, popular does not equal great.
Forrest Gump - gonna catch hell for this one but I really didn't like it. Too hokey. Not my taste.
The worst thing about this comp is the sugary-inspirational music pervading each clip in the background. If these scenes are so very choice they probably don't need such auditory support, n'est ce pas? The music made it so much worse.
So I'll gladly accept my role as a practitioner of douchebaggery, just so we're all clear about what it's not for.
