I’ve seen “Forrest Gump” quite a few times, but for some reason I can’t remember seeing this particular scene. It really takes Forrest’s relationship with his mother to another level.
And who knew Sally Field had such skills?

Watch Patrick Kane singing karaoke at an Elmhurst bar
He told us it was coming.
Patrick Kane promised we’d be seeing more of him around town at the Chicago Blackhawks rally. Keeping up with tradition, he took the Stanley Cup to a recent Jimmy Buffet concert. After the show, Kane was spotted at Riley’s Gathering Place in Elmhurst and performed his own version of Tom Petty’s “Free Falling.”

CREED trailer offers first look at the new Rocky spinoff
I thought ROCKY BALBOA was a great way to finish off the Rocky series. We’ll see if this spinoff can capture that same magic.
CREED features Michael B. Jordan playing Apollo Creed’s son, and yes, Sylvester Stallone is back as Rocky to help him out in the ring. The first CREED trailer hits all of the notes a Rocky fan is hoping for, and the movie is directed by FRUITVALE STATION director Ryan Coogler, which makes me even more optimistic.
Here’s the trailer…
Spotted At The Store: Sprinkled Donut Cap’n Crunch
I love breakfast cereal. Been hooked on the stuff since I was a kid. I love walking down the aisle and seeing how these companies do their best to jump out form one another with crazy new creations.
For example, first there was Cap’n Crunch, then Cap’n Crunch with Crunchberries, then ALL Crunchberries, now…
Sprinkled Donut Cap’n Crunch. Is this a revolution in breakfast cereal technology or a sign of the apocalypse? I didn’t have the guts to find out.
What’s your favorite new cereal?
Summer In The City: Watch this amazing Chicago drone video
I’ve lived in the Chicago area my entire life. We tend to complain about a lot of things around here. It’s way too cold before it’s way too hot. Or in this summer’s case, it’s just not hot enough. Traffic stinks. It costs too much to park. Politics. Budget deficits.
That’s why I’m always happy when videos like this one come along. The team at Soaring Badger Productions put together some incredible drone footage of the city. It’s a great reminder of just how beautiful Chicago is. I love this town, imperfections and all.

Super Mario Bros. 3 blanket is SIX YEARS in the making
It took him 800 hours. Over SIX YEARS. But his masterpiece is now complete.
Computer programmer Kjetil Nordin of Denmark put his crochet skills to great use, creating this amazing blanket based on the map of Super Mario Bros. 3. Check out more of the photos….
Nordin tells NRK that he is looking for a way to display the blanket without ruining it. I’d wear it as a cape and take it everywhere I go.
Read the full interview with Nordin HERE.
