I like to pride myself on having a pretty good memory for classic films, but man, my powers of recollection are nothing up against a dedicated film fan by the name of whoiseyevan. A couple of weeks ago I brought you his reworked Ghostbusters trailer as a 1954 classic starring Bob Hope and Dean Martin, and now he's back at work making trailers for Raiders of the Lost Ark and Forrest Gump as if they had been made in the Golden Age of Hollywood. First up is Raiders, which was an ode to adventure serials of the '30's, but for the remake we've jumped ahead about thirty years. Now, it stars Charlton Heston as Dr. Jones, Anthony Quinn as Sallah, and the great Peter Lorre as everyone's favorite melty-face Nazi, Toht. Once again, you have to marvel at whoiseyevan's ability to find the perfect clips, and if you're as familiar with Raiders as I am, you will spot plenty of scenes that are almost identical -- right down to the monkey. Now, transplanting Forrest Gump back to 1949 might have been a little bit easier, and it should come as no shock that Jimmy Stewart is standing in for Tom Hanks (especially since Hanks as been called our generation's Stewart on more than one occasion). Which would also explain how whoiseyevan might have selected some of these clips, because Stewart played a lovable man-child more than once during his career. For Gump, most of the clips look like they were taken from It's a Wonderful Life, but there are a few surprises to be had, including who gets to take over the role of Lt. Dan -- which I won't spoil for you because, frankly, it's genius.

Every person has it to a certain percentage, and it results, most of the time, in obsessive behaviour out of proportion. It's the Social-Nerd- Gene ? Football...Fantasy...Movies...Games... When crossing this "threshold", actors often get an Oscar! What they are portraying is the brain development disorder: Autism. A "disorder" characterized by impaired social interaction and communication, and by restricted and repetitive behavior. It's there in everyone of us, but there is a point where it goes over the edge. There a several movies that deal with this topic: I am Sam, Forrest Gump, What's Eating Gilbert Grape and Rain Man... To be honest, I don't know if one can always draw a sharp line where normal stops and a brain disorder starts. Maybe we are not smart enough to grasp the whole picture. There are various angles to perceive reality. Getting frustrated by a football team that doesn't know of your existence is just one.
