I DARE Tom Hanks to do a sequel to this one

But the guy is so full of himself, he NEVER acknowledges the fact that the fool even DID this film.
I guess its "beneath" him, right?
I guess the guy can't come to grips with reality that this was his heday. That this was his lot in life, and he blew it!

The guy should stick to bathroom humor.
He looks like a goofball and acts like one too.

He should be doing some Thursday night comedy routine between strip shows at the Pussycat Theatre.

Well, I guess we'll just have to wait and see. I think Leslie Nielson was a serious actor before he went to goofball comedies. I hope Tom Hanks does the same thing, but soon before he gets gray. If I were Tom, I'd go back to those movies now. He has 2 best actor Oscars under his belt - which he won two years in a row by the way - AND he has the AFI lifetime achievement award - the highest honor any filmmaker could receive. Plus he was the youngest filmmaker in history to receive that award. How can you get better than that, career wise?! I wonder if he thinks he's too big of a star for these roles anymore. I wonder if he thinks that his audience expects more of him. Because that is NOT TRUE for me! It's not true for probably a lot of his fans. I think he should just go back to these comedies; if not for himself, then for his fans that remember him the way he used to be: hilarious.

I used to like him in the 80s and early 90s...but not anymore...he does not do comedies anymore...it's beneath his dignity. f--- him

Tom Hanks is a little like Rocky. Before he won the title, Rocky was hungry and fought pretty much anyone(mostly ham & eggers as he put it) but he gets a title shot, shakes the hell out of the champion of the whole wide world(thanks Mick), get's another shot, wins, and as Micky puts it, he got civilized. Same with Hanks. To make it in Hollywood, he did goofball comedy(Bosom Buddies, Bachelor Party, Big, Dragnet and even Splash and Joe vs. The Volcano). Then he started doing light comedy/drama(Nothing in Common, Bonfire of the Vanities, A League of Their Own), then he made Philadelphia and the goofball Tom Hanks we knew and loved was officially dead. Steve Martin is the same way. He was a goofball, went drama, then back to comedy. And you don't know goofball until you see early Steve Martin.

ALL actors do this...when have you seen Julia Roberts play a poor whore lately?

Wayne Enterprises buys and sells companies like Stark Industries

[–] galaxie_63 15 years ago

But Julia Roberts role in Pretty Woman was mild at best.
Bachelor Party was pure T & A.
Frat comedy at its finest.
Back in the day when could have a bunch of Japanese guys chasing around middle aged woman dressed as hookers in a hotel room.

Its just not the same now.
And neither is Hanks.

Early in Tom Hanks' career I heard people refer to him as a poor man's Bill Murray.

I don't understand. The man made an amazing dramatic debut in PHILADELPHIA and won his first Best Actor award for playing a gay man dying on AIDS. It wasn't Forrest Gump that proved to everyone that Tom Hanks had so much more to offer as an actor.
