Beloved fella Tom Hanks is turning 62 today and in his honor I'm digging into Forrest Gump with this week's "Beauty vs Beast" over at The Film Experience - head on over to vote. I defend the movie a little, even though I'm fully aware of all its problems and how directly those problems, and the mindset they represent, can be traced alongside our current political predicament. It's sticky business but at the end of the day it is just a movie, and there's good stuff in there too alongside all the questionable, and liking that isn't a one-to-one ratio with being a shitty person. I'm glad the movie's gotten called out, and I will call its shit out, but I'm still gonna watch it whenever it's on TV and cry, dammit.
