If I'm not mistaken, the Forrest Gump book is absolutely terrible. Yes it has, and I hope it's as good as it's hyped up to be (it's rocking a 97% on Rotten Tomatoes right now with a 100% from actual critics). I'm going to see it after finals are over on Friday, and to say I'm excited to watch Downey Jr. in the role he was born to play is an understatement. I'm a huge Joss Whedon fan too, and I'd love to see him achieve the monetary success that this movie will bring. Yes, he made some money off of Buffy but something like this can take his career to a whole nother level. Still, nothing will bring back Firefly.
