    Forrest Gump is for Boomers what Ready Player One was for Gen X. And I’m sure they’ll be something for Millennials soon. Just Nostalgia for the sake of Nostalgia barely laced together with a plot.

      I guess it just means I’m not a big nostalgia for nostalgia’s sake guy because I’m Gen X and I didn’t like Ready Player One either. The book was marginal and the movie was awful. I’m not sure why I even watched the movie after reading the book. I guess mostly because of The Shining part, which, meh.

        Oh yeah, I forgot they did the Shining in the movie, because In the book it was WarGames, which fit better thematically.
