Wide-Angle, Panoramic Feel to an Image Captured by Mark Stevens Via Flickr: While at a roadside pullout at Forrest Gump Point with a new looking to the southwest down the road with a backdrop of the sandstone buttes and formations present in the Monument Valley. This is along U.S. Route 163 not far from Halchita, Utah. My thought on composing this image was to have a view looking down the road and center myself with the stripe leading off into the distance. I decided to angle my Nikon SLR, camera slightly downward and create more of a sweeping view, bringing the horizon higher into the image. I wanted the image to have a panoramic, wide angle view, so I knew that I would cut off some of the foreground to my front.

Forrest Gump Point: A Must-Visit Spot for Movie Lovers and Adventurers

Tucked away on the iconic U.S. Route 163 in the vast, mesmerizing landscapes of Monument Valley, Forrest Gump Point has become a beloved destination for both movie enthusiasts and travelers alike. This seemingly ordinary stretch of road is famous for a pivotal scene in the 1994 film Forrest Gump, where the title character, played by Tom Hanks, abruptly stops his cross-country run after three years. The stunning backdrop of towering sandstone buttes and the infinite desert horizon has since made it a popular stop for tourists. Let’s take a closer look at why Forrest Gump Point is such a special place.

The Magic of Monument Valley

Monument Valley, which straddles the border between Arizona and Utah, is a region rich in history and cultural significance. For centuries, it has been home to the Navajo Nation, and its towering rock formations have been a source of inspiration for countless films, including western classics and, of course, Forrest Gump. The Valley’s breathtaking scenery, with its red sandstone buttes, expansive desert plains, and ever-changing light, creates a dramatic backdrop for travelers.

Forrest Gump Point is located about 13 miles north of the small town of Mexican Hat, Utah, along Highway 163. The exact location is easy to spot, as there are usually people pulled over on the side of the road taking photos of the scene. The view from this point is a stunning, unbroken panorama of Monument Valley’s buttes that seem to stretch endlessly into the distance.

A Movie-Lovers Pilgrimage

The film’s impact on pop culture has turned this unassuming stretch of road into a pilgrimage site for movie lovers. Many visitors recreate the iconic scene by running down the road, posing in mid-stride for photos, and sharing their moments on social media. It’s a spot where cinema meets reality, and visitors can experience a moment of Hollywood magic in the middle of the American desert.

Tips for Visiting Forrest Gump Point

While Forrest Gump Point is an unforgettable experience, it’s essential to plan your visit carefully:

Timing is Everything: The best times to visit are early morning or late afternoon when the light is softer, and the colors of the landscape are most vibrant. Midday can be harsh with the desert sun, making it difficult to capture the beauty of the area in photos.

Be Safe: Highway 163 is an active road, and although traffic is generally light, always be mindful of passing vehicles. There’s no official parking lot, so most visitors simply pull off to the side of the road. Be cautious when crossing or standing on the highway for photos.

Respect the Land: Monument Valley is part of the Navajo Nation, and it’s important to respect the land and its cultural significance. Don’t leave trash behind, and always be mindful of the natural environment.

Capture the Moment: Forrest Gump Point offers one of the most photogenic vistas in the American Southwest. Whether you’re a professional photographer or just using a smartphone, take the time to capture the moment. Wide-angle shots work best to showcase the vastness of the landscape.

Stay Nearby: If you want to fully immerse yourself in the beauty of Monument Valley, consider staying in nearby accommodations like The View Hotel or Goulding’s Lodge, which offer spectacular views of the valley. Sunrise and sunset are particularly magical times to experience the desert’s changing light.

Beyond Forrest Gump Point: Explore Monument Valley

While Forrest Gump Point is a major highlight, there’s so much more to explore in Monument Valley. Take a guided tour through the Navajo Nation’s tribal park, where local guides will share the rich history, culture, and stories of the land. You’ll get a chance to visit famous formations like the Mittens, John Ford’s Point, and the Totem Pole.

Monument Valley is also a dream destination for outdoor enthusiasts. Hiking, horseback riding, and stargazing are popular activities in this otherworldly landscape. If you’re looking for an adventure, consider spending a night camping under the vast desert sky, where you’ll witness some of the clearest views of the Milky Way.

Conclusion: A Stop Worth Making

Forrest Gump Point is more than just a movie location; it’s a reminder of the power of storytelling, the beauty of nature, and the connections we form through shared cultural moments. Whether you’re a movie buff retracing the steps of a beloved character or simply a traveler seeking awe-inspiring landscapes, this stop along Highway 163 is one you won’t want to miss.

Through some outrageous case of serendipity I found a recording of another phone call this same child made 60 years later. Though I have to say his choice of conversational partner is a definite downgrade from the first call.

It looks too far-fetched, but...The Godfather: the story begins with betrayal.Forrest Gump: a love story that began in childhood is ending.

NOT ME COMPLETELY MISSING THE TWO GIANT ASS MOVIE POSTERS HANGING ON THE WALL EVEN AFTER TAKING SO MANY SCREENSHOTS OF THIS SCENE IM ✋😭 i blame the vice versa brainrot for this............

honestly i don't think your analysis is too far-fetched like if it were another show maybe i would say that the choice of movies was made without much thought behind it, but so far the trainee has put a lot of care and attention to the props and colors it's using to help the narrative along, so i doubt the posters don't hold some kind of meaning

i feel like i would need to rewatch both movies before trying to do a proper analysis because it's been ages since i last saw them, but there's definitely something that could be said about the way these two very different stories treat love and how that applies to tae and bahmee's relationship: in the godfather, love is deeply connected with betrayal and suffering and grief, and the moment you forsaken the love for your family and your partner for the love of power you end up alone, while in forrest gump the love and acceptance forrest and jenny give each other from an early age is, in its kind, the only one they get to know

idk i wonder if these movies work as a sort of warnings for both tae and bahmee: do not forsaken love for something else, but while the love you've known when you were younger will always be important, maybe it's not the right one for you

(kinda terrified that they're gonna go with the 'at the end jenny realizes forrest is the only man who ever loved and treated her right' interpretation instead but let's not go there)

“Accidents”

synopsis: after going on a run with joel and ellie despite joel’s request for you not to, you get hurt in the process, and joel helps you recover. word count: 1,4k warnings: smut, female receiving, use of curse words

joel has always had pretty eyes, guess seeing him this close and in the light you truly noticed how pretty and tired they are. the wrinkles in his face that haven’t yet been mirrored in yours—god, that thirty-year age difference was sometimes worrisome. you desperately want him to see you with crinkled eyes and wrinkles; brushing his hands through your grey hair like you did his when he goes—

“darlin, are you even listening to me?” he groans out on his knees, massaging your injured ankle. “this is why i tell your dumbass to stay and not go out on runs with me. i already have to keep myself safe and ellie safe, but you just…” he trails on about safety.

he wraps his thick hand, covering the entirety of your ankle. you can feel his calluses rub against your skin. it makes you wet just thinking of those same hands wrapped around your neck not even a day ago.

“you guys needed help and i didn’t want you to get hurt,” you manage to make a noise, putting your dirty thoughts away. “i’m young, meaning i’m strong… isn’t that a quote?”

on the run, joel, ellie, and you were spotted by clickers. trying to protect him, you jumped in front of him before a clicker got him, but as you killed the clicker, you twisted your ankle.

your handsome man lets out a groan and a laugh. “you’re lucky i put up with you.” he finishes the massage, wrapping it with medical tape. “you’re not going to be able to go to the movie night.”

“man, that blows,” you say, leaning on the pillow he brought out of the bedroom. “i wanted to see forrest gump. i’ve never seen it.”

he smiles, not reaching his eyes. “you and i are going to stay here until i patrol, and ellie will switch. you can see forrest gump another time.”

he grabs a blanket, covering your legs. you hadn’t noticed that it got cold, even though you were only in your panties and his flannel. you mumble a thank you, grabbing a book from the bookshelf next to you.

he picks you up, placing you on his lap, blanket still on you; rocking you back and forth, kissing your neck and biting your earlobe. aw man, what did you do… he always did that when he wanted to either have sex or he was upset but didn’t know how to express it.

“what’s wrong, baby?” you say, putting your book to the side and leaning closer to his touch.

“i just… i was scared… god, you just don’t listen sometimes,” he groans out, still sucking the skin around your ear. “i can’t always protect you, sweetheart.”

you nod against his lips as they travel down your neck. “next time i tell you we’re going to be okay… trust me… me and ellie came here after so much, so we can handle it.” he pulls your legs open, careful with your left ankle.

“i know—i know i’m just a little protective over ellie… i don’t want anything to happen to her.” you moan lowly as his hand finds the inside of your thighs. “i, uh—mhm—uh, i was worried about you too.”

joel's breath is hot on your skin as his mouth trails down your neck. his beard scratches against your pulse point, a coarse drag that makes your thighs twitch. his fingers press into the flesh just above your knee, working higher, the calloused pads teasing the soft skin of your inner thigh. 

you’re still wearing only his flannel, swallowing you whole, sleeves rolled up to your elbows, the top few buttons undone from when you tugged on the collar earlier, needing to breathe.

his hand brushes just beside the wet patch forming on your panties. he doesn’t move fast. joel never moves fast unless he’s angry or desperate, and right now he’s just worried and horny; trying to express it the only way he knows: by touching you.

“you’re real mouthy for someone laid up with a busted ankle,” he mutters, lips curled just slightly as he looks up at you from where he’s pressing soft kisses into your collarbone. “goin’ out there like you’re fuckin’ invincible.”

“i just wanted to help,” you breathe, trying not to writhe against his lap like a bitch in heat. his hand is under the blanket now, pushing it aside, fingers ghosting along your hip, then back down between your thighs again. your panties are soaked, practically clinging to your lips.

“help?” joel chuckles darkly, teeth scraping against the shell of your ear. “you’re damn near helpless now, sweetheart. can’t walk, can’t run. you’re stuck right here.” his fingers hook under the waistband of your underwear, dragging them down your thighs, slowly. the air is cold against your slick folds, but his fingers are warm—he's warm—thick digits sliding through your slit.

“you listening to me now?” he says gruffly, pushing two fingers into your cunt, slow and firm, the stretch making your breath hitch.

“mhm,” you murmur, thighs trembling. “i’m listening.”

“good,” he whispers, pumping those thick fingers in and out of you, the rhythm steady, relentless. “ ’cause i need you to listen when i tell you that if somethin’ ever happened to you, i’d lose my fuckin’ mind.”

your pussy clenches hard around his fingers, the rough rasp of his voice sending sparks down your spine. he curls his fingers just right, pressing against that spot that makes your vision blur. his other hand cups the back of your head, fingers tangled in your hair, holding you steady as he tongues the crook of your neck and bites down hard enough to bruise.

“joel—fuck,” you whimper, grinding helplessly against his hand, your fingers gripping his flannel, knuckles white.

he groans low in his throat, a gravelly, needy sound as his palm presses harder against your clit. “that’s it, baby. let me take care of you, yeah? you need this. after scarin’ the shit outta me.”

“i’m—i didn’t mean to—”

“shhh,” he cuts you off, sucking a mark into your throat that you’ll probaly feel for days. “you can say you’re sorry with your cunt.”

now that makes you moan. the sound rips from your throat as your hips start rocking against his hand without shame, soaking his fingers. he adds a third finger, making your whole body jolt.

“you hear that?” he growls against your ear, lips slick with spit. “listen to how wet you are, baby. drippin’ all over my fuckin’ hand.”

slap, slap, slap—the obscene noise of his fingers plunging in and out of your pussy echoes in the small room. you grip his shoulder, nails digging into the soft flannel, trying to anchor yourself as your orgasm coils tighter.

“i was fuckin’ scared,” joel whispers again, almost broken now, voice cracking as he sucks your earlobe into his mouth. “thought i was gonna lose you. and the worst part? i wouldn’t even know how to go on. not after everythin’.”

“i’m here,” you manage to gasp, barely able to speak as the pleasure crescendos. “i’m here, joel.”

“show me,” he growls.

your whole body jerks when he flicks your clit with just the right pressure, and the dam breaks. you cry out, grabbing at him as your orgasm crashes over you, pussy clenching hard around his fingers, body trembling in his lap. he doesn't let up, fucking you through it until you’re twitching.

joel pulls his fingers out slowly, smearing your slick all over your inner thigh, then dragging them up to his mouth. he sucks each one clean, eyes locked on yours, expression unreadable.

“you’re stayin’ here next time,” he says, voice firm, leaving no room for argument. “don’t care how young or strong you are. if you want to be useful, you stay alive.”

you nod, still panting, chest heaving.

he kisses your temple, soft and slow. “next time, you tell me what’s goin’ on in that stubborn head before you throw yourself into danger.”

you grin, still hazy. “next time, you just fuck me before patrol and i’ll be too sore to even leave the house.”

that gets a real laugh out of him; his hands settle under your ass, shifting you closer on his lap. his cock is hard under you, pressing insistently through his jeans, but he doesn’t move to unzip. but for now, he just holds you, body warm, rocking you gently till you fall asleep.

[HIGHLIGHT] 8 minutes of Peterpan Tadsapon sharing in English about Reset The Series

Notable points from the live

Pan describes Thada as an ideal gentleman character, has some "oppa" archetypes and some of Mr Grey from 50 Shades of Grey archetypes. Pan did a lot of homework and research to keep his composure for Reset because the character Thada is supposed to be 40 but he only turned 26 last year.

Pan had to do his own stunts for Reset but for some action scenes Pond has a stunt double so they'll do takes with both people for those scenes.

Pan expressed his gratitude to the lakorn fans who are also planning to watch his BL series Reset, acknowledging that he knows usually lakorn audience often wouldn't often transfer to watching BL series 🥺. (and this is why i'll always support lakorn actors who step out of their comfort zones to step into queer roles or QL series. seems like a generalisation but it's just fact that it's definitely harder to convince lakorn audience to watch BL series as opposed to convincing BL audience to watch lakorns)

Pan shares his experience playing Prasit, a character with autism spectrum disorder in My Cherie Amour. He did his research as well as studied from series like The Good Doctor, Forrest Gump, It's okay not to be okay, about how to get the physicality of Prasit to be as natural as possible, that this role is one of his bucket list as an actor and that he's open to playing more roles like Prasit to showcase characters on the autism spectrum.

Pan thanks Tor and Yaya because he learned from them during My Cherie Amour is that you always have to be "present" as your character on set, regardless of how tired he might be, that when you're a main cast member, you're on set most of the time, and you have to manage that responsibility. Even if you are tired, your character doesn't know that, so you must stay focused and alive in the character. This really helped him during Reset filming.

Pan says the chemistry was there during filming and that there are quite a lot of moments like the 'slap kiss' acting scene in the Pilot trailer, the director gave Pan and Pond a lot of directions but also freedom to explore their characters and improvise (i'm just gonna keep my expectations as low as possible knowing the director is A Natthaphong who did Gap, The Sign and My Marvellous Dream Is You but hopefully iQIYI and Broadcast Thai TV producers know what they want and the vision comes through).

Reset is expected to be released around the middle of the year, but the exact date is not yet confirmed (him backtracking when he literally spoiled the release month earlier that day 😭🤣).

Pan doesn't know exactly when Reset fanmeeting is gonna happen but there definitely will be one.

Finally, Pan asks that fans be vocal, tagging the official Reset account and tell them that fans want to watch first EP, last EP, have event, have fanmeeting... to make them happen.
