From Iwatchstuff, Now that quoting, "Life is like a box of chocolates," and "Run, Forrest, run!" has become, shall we say, a tad tired, Paramount is ready to move on to a sequel to the most popular mockery of the retarded to date, Forrest Gump. Based on the book's sequel by Winston Groom, Gump & Co., the film would take place a few years after the original, after the death of Jenny and the closure of Bubba-Gump Shrimp, leaving Forrest a slow-witted, unemployed, single father.
As usual, Forrest finds himself accidentally taking part in important historical events, this time of the '80s and '90s, even running into Tom Hanks (the audience is meant to chuckle at this, knowing that Tom Hanks is the actor playing Forrest Gump). I haven't read the book to know what other events are included, but I'd like to see Forrest accidentally bursting through the Berlin Wall and accidentally training Al-Qaeda soldiers to pilot commercial aircrafts as explosive weapons. Forrest's narration for this scene would close as follows, "Some years later, I heard those fellas flew too close to a couple'a buildings, caused a whole heap'a mess."
First rule of Horrorthon is: watch horror movies. Second rule of Horrorthon is: write about it. Warn us. Tempt us. The one who watches the most movies in 31 days wins. There is no prize.

That punchline is excellent. Maybe they could have him accidentally explode a bunch of Florida voting booths in 2000, too.
