Tom Hanks is a wonderful, wonderful actor. I love many of his films...Road to Perdition, Apollo 13, Castaway, Big, Saving Private Ryan, he really is a modern day Jimmy Stewart.

But his politics SUCK.

But his politics SUCK

From what I understand, Rita Wilson has a whole, whole lot to do with that.

Well he is no Jimmy Stewart, but he is a good actor

[dfwgator]

I liked Tom a lot more when he was making movies like “Bachelor Party”.

[taildragger]

It is time to say good by to watching even the good actors that have a very different version of Liberty. I can’t spend my money on them period...

[PBRSTREETGANG]

He’s done some decent work.

Jimmy Stewart he ain’t.

[ImJustAnotherOkie]

He is like so many of his ilk. Preaching at the average folks is highest level of hypocrisy. His clan like Springsteen whining about taxes being too low while using tax loopholes, AlGore’s global warming while flying private jets.

Their Hubris and Narcissism is off the scale.

Not just his politics suck, Tom Hanks has made the transformation into a human being that sucks.

With all due respect he is simply good at playing pretend and calmly earnest and some comedy...non threatening ..even in Perdition..which was nicely filmed

but he is no Jimmy Stewart.

Stewart was a conservative and voluntarily flew B-24s far beyond the 20 missions required (at his request and also asked they stop counting them since he did not want to be a “hero”)

He achieved the rank of colonel during the war and general after the war from starting out as a private....at first they tried to keep him from combat given his status but he insisted and after 2 years got combat duty for 2 years...and they had rejected him for service at first as too skinny but he kept at it and got it

all in his mid 30s which was a mite old to enlist as a private

overall 8th Air Force suffered 15% casualties...highest of any large ...Stewart's Groups suffered around 25% losses...and the reality is that early in the war the 8th got walloped at rates that were unsustainable...longer range fighters escorts and night bombing brought that down as time went on ...and a diminished Luftwaffe

it is glaringly obvious that Tom hanks is a mere uninformed emotive buffoon

He is no Jimmy Stewart...Stewart was a Right Stuff sort who actually was the character of the heroes he played.

can we imagine any Hollywood jackass today being such a real man...just think about it...and Stewart was hardly the only one
