Tom Hanks as an actor is fantastic, beyond that he is stupid as pudding.

As are so many A-list actors these days (I say these days because it didn’t used to be this way in the days of John Wayne and James Stewart).

People like Hanks act because they are not capable of doing anything else (productive) in life. So, they pretend to be other people doing great things. The problem is, they begin to believe they are somehow better and smarter than the rest of us because they can act and they have so many sycophants fawning all over them that they start to believe their own self-importance.

Why insult pudding like that?

Surely there is something lower!

Actually I lost it for this guy a long time ago. some reporters caught up to him and asked him about the klinton scandal and Hanks said he would not have donated to bj’s legal fund.

right thing to do right?

The next day Hanks did a 180 and said he would have donated more.

Hmmmmmm........

Funny how that seems to work with a lot of artists, huh? And then along with that is the phenomenon of those artists believing that, because they are great artists (or because they believe they are great artists, in the case of Roseanne Barr, Rosie O'Donnell, or Sean Penn), whatever else they happen to believe or promote must be just as fantastic.
