Every so often, we get little reminders on this forum about how lucky we are. To wit: we could be the IMDB.

We all know Rain Man, even if it's only from the "full retard" diatribe in Tropic Thunder. Tom Cruise and Dustin Hoffman are brothers, Dustin Hoffman is autustic but a math savant, cross-country road trip, wapner wapner wapner. It seems to be generally liked even by groups that would otherwise find the content "offensive." But what do the forumj posters at the Internet Movie Database have to say about it? Let's look at a few forum gems?



Page 1:

What other 1988 movie had two brothers who bought identical suits and ...

What kind of movies would Raymond be interested in?

Asperger's Syndrome

How could they be brothers? Hoffman is 25 years older than Cruise

Susanna was a level III sex offender.

Is thzit the MOVE with all the JEWS EAtting the POTOAOTE CHIPSS??

Please help! Why did Raymond become autistic ?



Page 2:

Would you want to be Rain Man?

i am considered autistic

I have a brother with Autism

Why didn't Charlie just throw Rain Man in the Washing Machine?



Page 3:

Should we really be expected to support these people?

Scientologgist View On Autism

Title clarification

Did Kmart ever get mad at being mentioned they suck?



Page 4:

if the rainmans so messed up..why can he take a train

Tom Cruise’s performance IS the success of the movie?






...Once again, I am thankful for this place.

That sounds like clueless and possibly drug induced questions a middle school kid wannabe journalist would ask Barry Levinson if he ever ran into him.

I got a half brother who is 17 years older than me, hell its not that much of a stretch. .........The rest of the questions are indecipherable


Maybe we should do a 'IMDB Questions' thread lol;


The Graduate:

Wasn't Dustin Hoffman about the same age as Anne Bancroft?

Why couldn't he get in a threesome with Missiz Robinson and her daughter?

Ghostbusters:

Did Dan Aykeroyd get a ghost blowjob?


Jurassic Park:

Do Dinosaurs dream of Electric Sheep?



I could keep going i guess lol

I'll do my best to answer the ones I can.

Twins.

The Graduate, Kramer v. Kramer, Outbreak, Meet the Fokkers ... you get the idea.

Quote:

I enjoy the note of panic. If you're looking for reliable information about autism, perhaps a forum thread about a fictional character isn't the best place to start. The movie never answers this question, but I assume the answer is vaccinations or radio waves or whatever crazy thing you want to believe for your own personal reasons.

Quote:

Of that, sir, I have no doubt.

Quote:

I assume the Emperor's Suite at Caeser's didn't have one.

Quote:

A) Yes. B) Raymond was independently wealthy, you jerk. That was the whole point of the movie.

Quote:

Actually, I agree with this. Cruise didn't even get nominated. As far as I'm concerned, he was robbed.



Rachel: Thank you so much, it really is a pleasure. While the boys chose a selection of songs that cast an eye inward on the irresponsible life choices and sexual hunger of today's modern teens, we've chosen a selection of songs that speaks to the nation as a whole during these troubling times filled with economic uncertainty and unbridled social war because, if there's two things America needs right now, it's sunshine and optimism ... also, angels. - Glee

I'm game for this.

Ultraviolet:
I think they should make Ultraviolet 2

Citizen Kane:
Citizen Kane vs. Crank II High Voltage

Transformers 2: Revenge of the Fallen
TF2 is the more polished technically, but G.I. Joe is better overall

Great satire on lack of American involvement in Africa

What the hell?

Is it wrong I now have a mental image of Deckard as a guy who ineffectually retires velociraptors, all the while oblivious to the fact he's a goddamn T-Rex? And since Olmos was in that movie he's the star of Brontosaurus Galactica, if I may continue a nonsensical and painfully unfunny stream of thought.

Lee Mercer, is that you? That's my random quote of the day.

Every generation comes up with its own stories, but ours seems content to slap new coats of paint on the old ones so that it can keep telling them again and again. I'd much rather boldly go where no one has gone before.

I picked Stand By Me. Everybody likes Stand By Me. What crazy things could someone possibly say. Well, stuff like this:

Boys these days couldn't have friendships like the one in the film. They would always get accused of being gay.

How did all the boys find out about the body? When the authorities themselves didn't know?

Is this another of his scary, horror adaptations or what is the basic premise?


I sort of wonder what became of Ace. He was such a jerk.

Is goofy really a dog? Really what animal is he?

Teddy says.. Gordie Lose.. O Gordie just screwed the Pooch.. Whats Pooch?

And the one that caused me to stop reading, close the site and erase my browser history, posted October 23, 2009 (that's 2009, people):

Are River and Will good friends in real life?

Throw Momma From the Train

MY MOM WAS IN THIS MOVIE



...That one stands on its own.

Also, you know how on IMDB there is nothing really separating someone's signature text from the body of their main message except an extra line? That ends up producing posts like this one:

Quote:
Yes, that scene was touching and even poignant.


...and your suffering will be legendary even in Hell!!



I believe they were talking about the coin collection scene.
