  • wantthetruth KNOWS the truth, and people like the misinformed and thoughtless Sciochick should be ashamed of themselves! Forry has rallied yet again (not a surprise to his old friends) thanks to the love and encouragement he recieved from the cards, letters and visits from his many many friends and fans. FORREST J GOES MARCHING ON!

  • Very sad at the passing of 4SJ: the film should be out in April, 2009.

  • Comment Part 2:

    2) Get rid of all the gunk after the initial countdown. It is dizzying and overwhelming at best. At worst, it makes the viewer look frantically for a popcorn bucket to hurl in. It's too busy, too flashy, detracts from the purpose of the teaser , and at best wastes the viewer's time.

    3) Also ditch the flakey background on Ackerman. It detracts from the main subject: Ackerman.

  • Interesting take. With all due respect, you are in the minority. All feedback is welcome, and I will take your comments into consideration. Thanks!

  • Comment Part 1:

    You've got a lot of potential here, but that's all it is at this point. (Aside from inducing a mild sense of nausea and confusion.)

    1) Ditch the fades or pick just one. Using multiple fades repeatedly just disorients the viewer, and leaves them wondering if you're an elementary school-er who just discovered the fade setting on their pocket digital video camera. ESPECIALLY when you're using cheesy flame fades.

  • How dare you sciochick to tell people"never mind the cards"! Those cards and messages have helped the Ackermonster to feel better.Joe Moe keeps Forry's friends and fans informed you fool.

    Beast recovery witches to FJA!

  • Nice video. Sadly, Mr. Ackerman has been diagnosed with congestive heart failure at 92, after a short hospital stay.

  • Interesting take. With all due respect, you are in the minority. All feedback is welcome, and I will take your comments into consideration. Thanks!
