"He must be the stupidest son of a b---- alive! But he sure is fast!"
-- "Bear Bryant" speaking of Forrest Gump in "Forrest Gump"
It was 30 years ago this fall that "Forrest Gump," the story of a gentle soul who ended up traveling the globe, meeting presidents and filling the world with wisdom such as "Life is like a box of chocolates," and "Stupid is as stupid does," was running through the box office and toward six Academy Awards, including Best Picture, Best Actor for Tom Hanks and Best Director for Robert Zemeckis.
