This is in response to TNstepsout's comment about hating the film Forest Gump. She says that the whole movie was about a " retard living out a fantasy in his head'. First of all, it is a shameful thing to refer to people who are mentally challenged in such derogatory terms. In view of the unenlightened state of your comment ( you really see things at less than the first degree - even my at the time ten year old got that it was a powerful and poignant critique of recent American history and society) I can only assume that you are not particularly intelligent yourself. But unlike the character tha Tom Hanks portrayed , neither do you posess the kindness , tolerance, moral uprightness and joy that he did. And as for for your last statement " Most of the movies I hated, everyone else did too' - one, who is everyone, and did you make a survey? and also does this not belie the incredible success this film had around the world? Why do you not try to see the film a few more times. You might just get it.

David Lynch films, notably Erasurehead and Muholland Dr. I can never get into them, whatever the message is it is just too ambiguous for me.

It could have been phrased better. I don't always say things well, though, and I think TN's a decent person, all in all.

Oh wow I absolutely love love love David Lynch films.  Titanic sucked, that seems to be common, and most big box office releases and 99% of horror movies and comedies.

I  love "Blue Velvet" ! In fact, it's time to watch it again. Thanks for the reminder. If ya don't like "Blue Velvet", ya should be made to give up your BDSM party membership card, imho.
