Didn't think of that

Just finished watching it, and man, it's an amazing movie. The storyline sounds boringly average - plane crashes, guy gets stranded on island, and what happens next is what's all the movie about.
But the way they've played it on the screen, including the acting is very unreal. I would like to say some more, but in case someone reading this hasn't seen it yet, I don't want to spoil it for them.
I think it's one of the very best movies I've seen. If you haven't seen it, I urge that you do.

I only watched it because people had said it was good. I just didn't get it. It wasn't terrible but certainly was not a great movie.

The place where he went to deliver the package after 4 years, did you notice that the name of that establishment had changed? And you're left to guess which road he chose at the end, which I don't want to spoil here. There's something about all that being connected.

I agree with you there. I'm hearing that Tom Hanks' new movie 'Captain Phillips' is his best since 'Cast Away', looking forward to seeing it.

One of my favs! The only part that irks me was how his wife handled it at the end. Understandable, but still...

I thought that the emotional shock she had to go through would have driven her nuts. It will be far too difficult to think straight in a situation like that. Even then, it's a wonderful flick.

If you get the DVD, there are alternate endings.
If it's not broken, fix it until it is

Thanks, I think I will do that.

Yeah I thought it was one of the best I had ever seen also and am waiting for the sequel, there's got to be a sequel they can't just let it end there!

Have you not seen the sequele[^], when he sue FedEx? A complelte courtroom drama.

Yeah I think I've seen that one kinda of an oldie but good!

Really nice movie. And don't forget the second best character in the movie - The Basketball. It's really emotional when it left him after the storm. 
I also remember that scene when he first "creates" fire on the island, how he reacted like he invented something. He is a great actor.

When you think that all he had for him in four years of isolation was that volleyball, it makes sense that he lies on that raft and cry like he's lost a loved one after that ball drifted away. I think if not for that volleyball, he would have probably gone mad because of solitude.
Another amazing scene is after he comes back to Memphis, and when he takes a look at the gas lighter. He clicks it a few times to see how easy it's to make a fire while in the civilised world!

Agree, the connection and bond he builds with Wilson[^]....
It is just one of those movies that draws you in and even though it is not fast paced or challenging on the mind, there is just something that holds you to see what's next.

Is there a good reason that they called it "Cast Away", meaning to get rid of something, rather than "Castaway", someone left in the middle of nowhere?

I'm not sure. Perhaps they thought that the terms can be used interchangeably?

At least from my POV. People who know me know that I am listening music with the same commonness as Nagy is drinking gin, and I love Youtube to do so - Not because it is free, rather than the suggested videos on the right hand side of the current video - These suggestions lead me to not-so-well-known cover /& acoustic versions of great songs, for example Springsteen's Radio Nowhere[^], Brian Fallon | TGA's Old Haunts[^] or I even discover completly new cover artists, this young lady for example[^].
Looking at these great songs I think that maybe a part of my generation can grow up with good music, played by actual artists / musicians and having actual lyrics.
You know the world is going crazy when the best rapper is a white guy, the best golfer is a black guy, the tallest guy in the NBA is Chinese, the Swiss hold the America's Cup, France is accusing the U.S. of arrogance, Germany doesn't want to go to war, and the three most powerful men in America are named "Bush", "Dick", and "Colon."

I have only two rational explanations for today's events:
0: Major electomagnetic disruption from solar flares
1: The last round of MS updates has finally hit my customer's workstations
I've had to switch to 'plan B' more than a few times today!  TGIF!

Yes - there certainly is a lot of pussy on-line. I suppose we'd just have to look at whatever turned up - even some of the hairless breeds.*
