This is a film about an autistic savant which was released long before autism, and Savant syndrome, were widely understood, so, of course, it blew the socks off everyone and cleaned up at the Oscars. Savants really do exist, managing all sorts of crazy genius; some can draw whole landscapes from memory, others can remember pi to the 2,000th decimal, and some just have a semi-automatic calculator for a brain. Dustin Hoffman does an excellent job of portraying one, arguably his best ever role.
Gayer than two gays gaying the fuck out of each other in a wendy house... I also fucking hate that fat faced rodent Drew Barrymore.
More like Who Drew Jessica Rabbit? Because whoever did somehow managed to make a cartoon character sexy. I know, it's outrageous to say, but it's true. I'm pretty sure she was the first animation to ever give me a hard on. Plus, she gave men the world over a fucked up animation fetish. And, of course, Japan took that fetish and ran with it, because some of the animated shit they've come up with since is just fucking disgusting.
"You saying that Blain and Hawkins were killed by a fucking lizard? That's a bullshit psyche job. There's two to three men out there at the most. Fucking lizard."
