Okay, so I caught the entirely shameless Castaway on cable a coupla nights ago, and the scene where Tom Hanks' basketball Wilson plops into the ocean absolutely ripped me to pieces. What's wrong with me?

Did you see "The Red Balloon" in school as a kid? I'll bet it has something to do with that.

I wish Godard had made this movie (with Hanks) and it consisted only of him being on the island. No flashbacks. Nothing.

You're not alone. Whenever I'm in a bad state I get choked up by bad, sappy movies.

I really wanted to kiss this movie's nuts for being so great.

The film just needed more explosions.

what's on tom's upper lip there¿
was he eating pudding or something¿

dyson (dyson), Thursday, 15 January 2004 15:12 (twenty-two years ago)

It looks a bit like hair. Maybe he was eating something hairy.

Pete (Pete), Thursday, 15 January 2004 15:13 (twenty-two years ago)

Like maybe his own ass?

Dan Perry (Dan Perry), Thursday, 15 January 2004 16:20 (twenty-two years ago)

has the slang term "hair pudding" come into widespread use yet?

Kingfishee (Kingfish), Thursday, 15 January 2004 16:34 (twenty-two years ago)

widespread hair pudding¿
so that's what it is.

dyson (dyson), Thursday, 15 January 2004 17:03 (twenty-two years ago)

I think it's a great movie, and that scene in particular i really like because it seems to run parallel to the other relationship with Helen Hunt that is entirely in his head too.

I like the title of this thread, well done, never seen the movie. Hanks needs to get rid of the ridiculous moustache.
