Adding Shaun to list along with fahdiz of people kicked in cajones for unreasonable Hanks hate.

It's "cojones", shame on you. Anglos can butcher the Spanish language, but you really have no excuse. 



And even though I'm neutral regarding Tom Hanks, I totally despise Forrest Gump.

No i meant to kick them in the wooden drawers.

Ladykillers sucked mostly because he sucked. 

That film just didn't need remaking.  Alec Guinness got it perfect.  But the whole cast in the original was terrific.

Yes, Wagman?

It was some fantasy movie from the 80s. 

I liked Saving Private Ryan.

[Josquius]

Apollo 13 I thought to be pretty myeh but I'm definatly with the Private Ryan support. We need more war movies dammit.
I guess in favour of the Hanks haters though is that SPR was awesome because of all the blood and explosions and whatnot rather than the actors.

Oddly though my nanna loves him for some reason. Anything he's in she loves instantly.


Grey Fox: If you really haven't seen Big (and don't just know it by a weird Francophone title) then I envy you greatly. Seek out and watch it. Its genuine fun for all ages.

You're forgetting Apollo 13. That movie, along with Big and the Toy Story movies, is more than sufficient to justify the man's career.

What about Philadelphia? And eh was excellent in SPR as well.

That & it's true for most pre-1998 movies.

Easy, killer.

Watched an interesting doc last night. "The Great Happiness Space". Inside look at a "Host Club" in Osaka, Japan. The Hosts and their clients (mostly hookers interestingly enough) are extremely forthcoming and honest about who they are and what they do. Most truly have no idea that they are horrible shallow people, who basically live to party and spend great gobs of cash.

very very interesting look at what goes on if a girl decides to actually follow one of those "Nampa" guys we used to see at the train stations. Many of my customers at the video store have told me they thought the hosts were gay. But they just look gay. young trendy J-guys throw off your gaydar.

Nampa?

It's a really small town in northwestern Alberta.

loosely translated it means Lothario... or the acting of being one.  Used to describe the young anime haired young guys who hit on women at the train stations, trying to get them to come to whatever club, and spend money. 99% of women ignore them. But a few go and end up spending several hundred dollars (or as you see in this doc... much much more) on these guys, before realizing what they are doing.
