I think it's great that people can have a hobby like this.

It doesn't matter that it's way too long or not funny or that the narration was so badly performed and recorded. It's just good to have a hobby.

I thought that was very well done.

Nice find!

Clever

I liked that it was a compilation of clips from just about every bad movie Tom Hanks ever made (except "Road to Perdition", which is a masterpiece).

Meh

Too long. The Harrison Ford piece was far better and wittier.

And oh what a surprise to hear that Rob Anderson liked that craptacular Perdition film. My head may just explode with the shock.

Bosom Buddy Gump...

> every bad movie Tom Hanks ever made

Given Hanks' talents (or lack thereof), that should read "every movie Tom Hanks ever made."

"Tom Hanks can't act his way out of a nutsack." (South Park)

Just a reminder...

...just because you don't like an actor doesn't mean he can't act. Tom Hanks is a fine actor, but I think the best thing he's ever done is produce "Band of Brothers."

Of Course I Love "The Road To Perdition"

I, unlike you Mr. "a son of an 'eyeroll'" (like you're fooling anybody), actually have taste when it comes to cinema. Many years from now "The Road to Perdition" will get its due, probably long after you and I are pushing up daisies.
