Truman Show on TBS

The town he lives in is actually a TV set, and all the folks are actors except Truman doesn't know it. He tries to escape and then faces true reality when he realizes he's not at the island ferry dock but rather the boat launch on Tucker Bayou at the end of Hwy 395 in Point Washington.

We make it a point to watch The Truman Show every year before we come down there. It's not as good as the real thing, though!

Hey the Truman Show is on TBS right now. Just came on at 11pm et. I never saw the whole thing but some good shots of Seaside.

Thanks for the heads up. I started watching at 11:15.

I think this is my #50 post. I'm movin on up..... :clap_1:

Kurt is actually the person Truman was based on. Very few people know it is a true story. Once Kurt found his way out they took down the walls and started selling the land. Robert Davis was the producer. The only real difference is that because of laws against corporations adopting children in the US the show was only seen in China. How long have you been out now Kurt?

Three years before the movie was released in '98. The $^#$#er still hasn't sent me any royalty checks and he even sold the house I lived in on Pensacola Street and I didn't see a dime.

I never have to buy drinks in China though. :clap_1:

Amy- looks like we are coming down the same week. Where ya staying? Do you have kids? We have an 11 year old daugher and a 9 year old son.

Nah.. my sister's coming too, so we aren't exactly babysitting.
And a week with Gracie (the niece) is DEFINITELY not a hardship..

A bump from waaay back. I should get an award for this.:roll: Geez Kurt- we have been SoWalling so long that there is quite a data base now!:clap_1:


I can't believe I never saw this movie until tonight. Great movie! We stopped the DVD at the Tucker Bayou boat launch part because I recognized the white arch-shaped sign, that is now in someone's yard on 393. I always wondered about that sign.

We just checked TBS and it is not on here. And we love that movie. I thought the water scene was filmed at Eden Gardens.

We watched it on DVD- gotta love Netflix. I was updating my queue the other day and something made me think of this movie.

Loved that movie, but it was the beginning of the crush on Seaside.

It was on sale at Target this week, and now I'm watching it like a cyberstalker. I miss SoWal.

LDB60, I just fell into the same trap today that you did in February 07. I switched to TBS, only to reread the thread and saw that it started in 2005! :roll:

Anywho, I had lost my copy of The Truman Show, having loaned it out one too many times and just bought another one at WalMart for $5.00!!

I always wished they would have done a sequel, where Truman and that girl take off around the world. He would be hounded by everyone, as everyone knew who he was, and wouldn't get a moments rest. Every person would recognize him and want his autograph or memorabilia. Papparazzi would be the least of his worries as common people became Truman Vultures. Everyone was a Stalker.

Then Truman would try to return to the safety of SeaHaven and find it was too late as the "set" had been turned into a Resort community tourist haven called Seaside.

He would then grow out his hair, and grow a beard, change his identity and become a hermit of sorts and live in the woods not far from his original beach home. He would live happily ever after, not your average Joe, but a Smiling one.

The end.

Glad to see he got over his fear of water!

...I don't like that, I love that sequel, dka!!!

Jenny I am shocked you hadn't seen this before. Seaside looks a bit different now too doesn't it?

Every house we ever rented in Seaside/Seagrove has had this video on the shelf. We love watching it.
