Tom Hanks:

I would not have been able to imagine that we would be living in a country where neo-Nazis are doing torchlight parades in Charlottesville [Va.] and jokes about Pocahontas are being made in front of the Navajo code talkers.

Tom Hanks can stick his Watergate movie where the sun don’t shine, as far as I’m concerned. The guy mixes acting with reality.

Is Tom vying with his co-star Streep to ruin the film’s box office potential? Ho ho ho...

Where was all this principled movie making during the last eight years?

Where are the exposes on Benghazi, the abuse of the IRS to target conservative non-profits, etc?

Hanks watches all these public figures go against Trump and then go down in flames, and he says, ‘I want me some of that.’

I don’t believe in the Trump curse. I do believe God is protecting Trump, and that He is listening to the prayers of all those who are interceding on the president’s behalf.

“There’s a number of ways that you can assault the First Amendment. Back in 1971, it was done in such a boldfaced way that a newspaper, The New York Times, was stopped from publishing a story. And it was threatened; anybody who was going to try to publish that story was going to go to jail for treason. Treason, my friend. That’s the stuff that goes on with tin-pot dictators and communist tyrants and third-world banana republics. [But] I’d have to say, as Steven Spielberg said: “The truth is making a comeback.””

Gee, I wonder if ones like Spielberg and Hanks sympathized when Bob Woodward came out publicly a few years ago criticizing the secrecy of the Obama administration and it’s attempts to silence reporters who did not tow the line? Or is it just the same pathetic double standard that applies to Republicans and conservatives? Give me strength big time, with the arrogance of these people.

I thought Ben Bradlee was black. Didn't he used to be on 60 Minutes?

Hanks thinks his likability with his fans is indestructible. Streep lied about not knowing what Weinstein was up too.

Tom Hanks, poster child for padded rooms for own safety reasons.

This makes me wonder if the man has the ability to reason, at all.

I would not have been able to imagine that we would be living in a country where workers in the theater-arts think their opinions about politics are worthy of consideration in the national press.

I agree that trump shouldn’t use the name Pocahontas. Liarwatha is much more descriptive.

Hey Tom, when is the release date on the Uranium One movie? Or the Cash for Haitian Kids, or Lolita Express or Chappaquiddick movie? I could go on...

Tom Hanks Wouldn't Screen 'The Post' at the White House...

Buried deep in the story is the fact that the question is entirely hypothetical. Trump hasn't asked for a screening and I can't imagine him asking.

Prior to the existance of Hollywood, people who played make-believe on stage had the same social status of prostitutes, and it is easy to see why.

The problem for this movie is that it covers The Pentagon Papers issue in 1971. Most people, especially the younger crowd will have Zero interest in this film as will most of America.

It's a Steven Spielburg self-indulgent film with his Liberal actor friends. I am sure on some level it's a Dig at President Trump.

My opinion is that few people will go see this film, but on another level Hollywood will celebrate it and it will garner several Academy Award Nominations. If it wins anything expect speeches of how courageous the film is and how it pertains to the current times and the Age of Trump.

It will be a load of Hypocrisy and Mendacity to boot.
