Bingo. Many have said after seeing Tom Hanks on SNL, they would make certain not to see that new movie. Maybe, just maybe,m he made the connection. The director was Ron Howard.
This was Ron’s forth flop movie in a row. I’m sure there was a lot of soul searching done in the past few weeks.

“but I knew there was something I liked about Tom Hanks. “

Me too——he’s a great actor.

Politics have nothing to do with it.

I have read a few stories where he is a Trump supporter too. Not surprising to me as he has been unhappy with OBuggery.

It is pretty much career suicide in Hollywood to speak well of a Republican. Tom Hanks is one of the biggest stars so he might survive this. Although he did take care to tip-toe carefully with his remarks by insinuating that Trump's election might have been "two steps back."

One thing I do think President Trump will accomplish is to break through that wall on account of his performance - which I am confident will astonish even his harshest critics. Tom Hanks might be putting himself in position for that eventual reality.

Shocker but now I MIGHT watch a movie of his

If you haven't seen it, watch "Forrest Gump". Brilliant acting all around. Great story. Even more so if you lived thru the 60's.

That just means he’s a grown up.

“Kudos to Hanks for speaking out. I guess Robert DeNiro and many others will be unfriending him. “

IMHO he's more talented than De Niro.

Tom grew up in a blue collar home and his family struggled financially when he was growing up. Given what has happened with the economy the last 8 years maybe he is remembering his roots. Tom is not a stupid guy, I give him the benefit of the doubt. Good for Tom.

Dear Hollywood celebrities, You exist for my entertainment. Some of you are great eye candy. Some of you can deliver a line with such conviction that you bring tears to my eyes. Some of you can scare the crap out of me. Others make me laugh. But you all have one thing in common, you only have a place in my world to entertain me. That’s it. You make your living pretending to be someone else. Playing dress up like a 6 year old. You live in a make believe world in front of a camera. And often when you are away from one too. Your entire existence depends on my patronage. I’ll crank the organ grinder; you dance. I don’t really care where you stand on issues. Honestly, your stance matters far less to me than that of my neighbor. You see, you aren’t real. I turn off my TV or shut down my computer and you cease to exist in my world. Once I am done with you, I can put you back in your little box until I want you to entertain me again. I don’t care that you don’t like Mr.Trump. But I bet you looked cute saying it. Get back into your bubble. I’ll let you know when I’m in the mood for something blue and shiny. And I’m also supposed to care that you will leave this great country if Trump becomes president? Ha. Please don’t forget to close the door behind you. We’d like to reserve your seat for someone who loves this country and really wants to be here. Make me laugh, or cry. Scare me. But realize that the only words of yours that matter are scripted. I might agree with some of you from time to time, but it doesn’t matter. In my world, you exist solely for my entertainment. So, shut your pie hole and dance.

He’s great to GIs and Vets. Yeah he’s a bleeding heart but he’s alright in his good deeds to the military.

“IMHO he’s more talented than De Niro.”

All DeNiro can do is play a hard-ass punk in his movies. No range whatsoever.

You know, I’ve always liked Joss’ work. But he’s been in Hollyweird too long.

I mean how can the guy, who’s responsible for the Browncoats, who were very much against the establishment, end up supporting the establishment?

It’s a total discontent.

Dennis Miller on BOR asked “which celebrity endorsement of Hillary put Trump over the top?”

He spoke out once about fiteen years ago and was quieted very definitively very quickly. Ding dong. Shes out of power. Tgere is no use for her any more. Even putting chelsea into nitas seat will lose its appeal to most

He doesn’t mean it, but he also is smart enough to realize many in America aren’t interested in hearing his disdain.

So... ‘We are going to be all right’ in a ‘dark day’ filled future. Got it. No thanks Mr. Hankey...
