I'm watching the move Cast Away. Should I contact someone about this?

[Rain Man]

I was curious where it was filmed, and it was on a small island called Monuriki. I was unfamiliar with that island, so I looked it up. It's part of a small island chain off of the coast of Fiji. It's located here.

https://www.google.com/maps/place/Monuriki/@-17.6317009,177.4301252,8z/data=!4m5!3m4!1s0x6e17184fa147452b:0x4a493f53692eed82!8m2!3d-17.6097267!4d177.0336925

So then I zoomed in a little, and the actual beach is labeled:

https://www.google.com/maps/place/Monuriki/@-17.6094592,177.0309335,1392m/data=!3m1!1e3!4m5!3m4!1s0x6e17184fa147452b:0x4a493f53692eed82!8m2!3d-17.6097267!4d177.0336925

And then I zoomed in on the beach, where a picture had been posted.

Does she need help?

Tom Hanks was on the island for four years, and this picture is only two years old.

[displacedinMN]

She would not have been there when the movie was made.

[Sofa King]

Tom Hanks has some splainin' to do! Helen Hunt is going to be pissed!

[Rain Man]

She would not have been there when the movie was made.

But she might be there now, lonely and naked and catching fish with a spear.

[Sofa King]

She would not have been there when the movie was made.

Fun hater. Coming in here and trying to ruin his thread.

[Rain Man]

Wait. There's another woman in a different place on the island. There are two castaways! We need to go help them!

He clearly doesn't understand the gravity of the situation.

[KurtCobain]

Does Fiji have a coast guard?

[Rain Man]

Does Fiji have a coast guard?

I may have to go there and check.

I really want to take my picture on that beach. And those two lovely castaways would be delighted to see me.

[mlyonsd]

You should maybe contact Tom and tell him he's a moron for killing Wilson in an ill-fated attempt to get back to the bitch that left him, all while there was a hot chick about to get stranded on his beach.

[stumppy]

Too late, looks like an entire cruise ship of beach goers are on the ridge behind her.

[In58men]

I was watching this too today lol.

[RollChiefsRoll]

It’s on AMC right now. Great flick.

[scho63]

I too stayed on a small island off the coast of Fiji in 1987, Malolo Island and at a resort called Musket Cove for 10 days. There was barely any other resorts at the time. Now it's crowded. The resort was much smaller and nowhere near as exclusive back then.

Some of the most incredible colors of the ocean in the World.

[KurtCobain]

lol VCR tapes.

[Rain Man]

Good observation. But It appears that they can't find her.

[displacedinMN]

But she might be there now, lonely and naked and catching fish with a spear.Yeah, you go with that.....

[Rain Man]

It’s on AMC right now. Great flick.

That plane crash scene is legitimately one of the scariest movie scenes ever.

Yup, that was intense!!! Another one is where the American girl gets swept away in the Indonesian tsunami.

[kcclone]

Scroll back to the spot where photographer was standing....

Wtf is this?....

What are we looking for?

[New World Order]

I was watching this too today lol.

Me too haha

It's one of those movies for me that I have to watch every time it's on.

[Gadzooks]

Never seen it.
I get that Rain Man desires to have sex with random women, but, I guess, I'll have to watch the movie to truly understand the premise of this thread.

[T-post Tom]

That's Justin's wife. They live in Tulsa. Good people.

[old_geezer]

Never seen the movie. I may be the only human on the planet who doesn't like Tom Hanks and can't bring myself to watch any movie he's in. I did see "Saving Private Ryan"when it was released but I'd rather watch "Saving Ryan's Privates" before watching it again. :evil:

Evidently on the stomach because I want to throw up every time I see him. :D

What the fuck? Tom Hanks is an American treasure.

[old_geezer]

What the ****? Tom Hanks is an American treasure.

One man's trash is another man's treasure. (As I said in my original statement, I may be the only human on earth that doesn't like him). :shrug:

[candyman]

I dont dislike him but do think he is very overrated as an actor.

[wazu]

What the fuck? Tom Hanks is an American treasure.

I think it's becoming a "thing" for people to come out publicly with the crazy stance that they can't stand Tom Hanks. I saw somebody in my Facebook feed do it the other day and she is a Grade A hipster. I do understand the notion of just intensely disliking a particular actor/actress. I feel that way about Johnny Depp, but cannot fathom feeling that way about Tom Hanks.

[stevieray]

Wiiiiiiiillllllllson!!!!


....you cried, admit it!

[eDave]

It always seemed to me that he could have saved Wilson.

[Bearcat]

That plane crash scene is legitimately one of the scariest movie scenes ever.

When he's on the raft after the plane crashes, and they're slowly zooming out.... that was very well done, capturing the never ending hell of being in the middle of that storm.

[stevieray]

It always seemed to me that he could have saved Wilson.

I agree, saving a soccer ball from a life of loneliness @ sea is very noble.

See, I'm the polar opposite and I'm definitely not a hipster. I'm a crusty, cranky old geezer who thinks hipsters should know their place (standing behind a target at a firing range). :)

EDIT: And for the record, I'm more upset at being associated with a "hipster" than I am at criticism of my dislike of Hanks. =)

[MahiMike]

Does she have a soccer ball?

[Hog's Gone Fishin]

Mr Rainman , I'll hook up my boat and swing by and pick you up . We'll be heroes!

[Bearcat]

Volleyball.

Even more tragic.

[rabblerouser]

Has Hanks ever been in a genuinely shitty film? Maybe Ladykillers?

[ghak99]

That's a ninja turtle. Mr. Rain Man better hurry.

[eDave]

Terminal kinda sucked.

How could you leave out Money Pit? And The Burbs? Nothing In Common was great too.

And Big! Love that movie.

[Hog's Gone Fishin]

And Forrest Gump!

STFU

STFU

Tell me why that turd of a movie is good?

[eDave]

LOL. I really have no idea. But I love it.

Meg Ryan does a great Flibbertigibbet.

[Rain Man]

Joe vs the Volcano is great. I'd watch it for the high-quality luggage alone.

[Rain Man]

Mr Rainman , I'll hook up my boat and swing by and pick you up . We'll be heroes!

Let's do this! I bet there's a book deal in here somewhere.

[Hydrae]

Wait. There's another woman in a different place on the island. There are two castaways! We need to go help them!

You are right, we should help these two lonely, lovely women find each other. Just let nature take it's course (in front of hidden streaming camera's of course!) as they come closer together and reach out for comfort. This is simply in Mankind's best interest!

[Demonpenz]

rainman once spun yarn on an attractive girl that worked at a gas station that broke me for no nut november

[J Diddy]

Terminal kinda sucked.

Different yes don’t feel that does suck though

[InChiefsHeaven]

Terminal kinda sucked.

The movie about the bridge in Berlin was a total POS...except Hanks. Other than him that was a long boring crapfest.

[bobbything]

Joe vs. the volcano

Wrong. Just flat out wrong. This is Hanks’ best movie.

[redfan]

Wow, a 20 year old classic! Good flick. "Wiiiiiilllllssooonnnnnnn!!!!"

[Kiimo]

Tell me why that turd of a movie is good?

There are a lot of really cool ideas and subtle themes

[T-post Tom]

Story update out today from TMZ....Hanks is bosom buddies with the girl on the beach. A rescue attempt might be profitable.
