When will the so called "actor" Tom Hanks apologize?


To my recollection Tom Hanks has played a homosexual man with HIV without actually being either a) a homosexual man nor b) having HIV, he has played a mentally challenged person without being mentally challenged and I won't even get into what was going on with his character in Big - but surely it was NEVER acceptable for a fully grown man to be playing a child!

Anyway when do you think Tom will issue a statement formally apologising for taking roles from people who were 100% more entitled to be playing them than he was?

reply

More importantly, have you seen Lorenzo’s Oil?

reply

Sorry I no longer watch any films featuring Tom Hanks...

reply

Thank you for being sorry.

reply

The apology isn’t enough. He should be cancelled too.

reply

Lorenzo’s Oil is not a Hanks movie though.

reply

Well, I'd never know that though as I won't watch films with Tom Hanks in them.

reply

You like Tom?

reply

I like Tom.

You hit me right in the FEELS bro.

Your right. I have no idea how this even happened:

I don't know if it's because he got covid19...i have no idea.

It just seems weird.

I guess at some point he's going to have to go on television and explain how he's not a pedophile. lol.

How he does that, I have no idea.

AMerican republicans and conservatives are so bat crap crazy I can never know if this was sarcasm or actual beliefs :P ill guess sarcasm

reply

reply

How are they crazy?

Where to begin

-denying basic man made climate change science
-claiming democrats (who are largely corporate shills like republicans except with rainbow flags) are "communists'
-arguing america has turned out great, the problem is just "da gubernment getting in the way"
-thinking the rich and corporations aren't corrupt and are paying their fair share. and that a society can work well with billionaires like trump paying 750$ in taxes

reply

I don't deny climate change. I do deny the absolute hysteria, almost religious, fervor by liberals to the point they become insane and follow some girl called Greta and whose champion in Congress (AOC) is someone who could not pass a basic science quiz. Not to mention your absolute failure to hold any other countries responsible, like India and China, both of which also fail the liberal 'diversity' test. Only 'white' countries must become diverse.
I don't call all Dems 'communists' but there is no doubt any communist in America is going to be a Democrat. The shift to the far left in the DNC is incredible. They are slowly taking over. Biden looks even more like a hapless moron the way he caters to them and then pretends to be 'moderate'.
And we should want corporations to pay lower taxes. They create jobs with employees who do then pay taxes and are better consumers. Otherwise, as we have seen, they will move to other countries and take the jobs with them. I saw that happen in my hometown. To add insult to injury, the employees had to train in the Mexican workers who were taking their jobs.
Historically, the Dems spawned the most violent hateful groups, such as the KKK. That grand tradition continues with Antifa, the most fascist group I have seen, along with BLM, the second most fascist group and the most racist.
Then you liberals constantly whine about everything. Every facet of life and politics and entertainment and education. Everything you try to 'fix' you ruin. Have you taken a gander at liberal cities? They are dumps! Minneapolis used to be a beautiful place. Not any longer. Seattle used to be beautiful. Look at it now. LA is the filthiest city I have ever seen. The only places in California I liked were San Diego, run by GOP, and Disney.
Shall we talk about the insane policy of not only letting in illegal aliens but helping them to stay and get money and food and housing and education and vote? That is batshit crazy. Liberals are insane.

" do deny the absolute hysteria, almost religious, fervor by liberals to the point they become insane and follow some girl called Greta and whose champion in Congress (AOC) is someone who could not pass a basic science quiz."

umm not a religion. stop parroting this nonsense. peaks try again you sound dumb.

according to scientists it is the biggest existential threat to human civilization. im sorry conservatives in almost every country deny its happening. maybe work on yourself before complaining that the champions of the cause are too annoying to you.

"Not to mention your absolute failure to hold any other countries responsible, like India and China, "

um how can we hold other countries to account for something conservatives and the current administration thinks is a lie and hoax. figure that one out please

"both of which also fail the liberal 'diversity' test. Only 'white' countries must become diverse. "


"historically, the Dems spawned the most violent hateful groups, such as the KKK"

the great slogan by conservatives who want to show they are historically illiterate and complete retards. Yes the democrats WERE THE Conservative party. CONSERVATIVE PARTIES TEND TO SPAWN HORRIBLE HATE GROUPS.

look at your own ideology in the mirror and ask why you are such disgusting people
im done here. are you sure you aren't a caricature? you are embarrassing man

reply

It is a RELIGION. Scientists are wrong all the time. Look at all the predictions made not more than 20 years ago. All wrong. Surprise! But they need money and every time they cry 'DANGER', they get more funds. Funny how that works. Some climatologists call them out and do not take an alarmist position, rather advocating smarter, cleaner energy, like WE ALL HAVE DONE FOR YEARS. And not stating as a fact the planet is warming up beyond all hope!
You are such utter PUSSIES when it comes to China.
My ideology used to be liberalism. But it started going insane and I left it. With no regrets at all.
Looting and rioting and everything is racist or sexist or Islamophobic. It's fucking insane what liberals have become.
We are done here.

reply

enjoy your sad life and not understanding of science! bye loser! you are pathetic. trying to start off sounding rational then going full blown anti science conspiracy theory LOL

reply

The only loser here is you. The guy tried to have a decent discussion with you and actually used facts and all you had to combat him with was name calling and sprouting unsubstantiated rumors and false stereotypes.

reply

Trevorh321 You are my hero! Well written expose, I could not have written it better myself. Well played. We need more voices-of-reason like you on the Right to support our cause, and shut down the Libtards, while at the same time, bringing the Far Right more to the middle, where we all belong.

You are a voice of reason.

reply

Took me all of two seconds to be glad this lunatic isn't around anymore.

reply

They tried a new topic called "leftists with something intelligent to say". It died on the vine.

reply

Woosh! Parody, not triggered.

reply

"MovieChat should start a new topics segment called "right wingers looking to get triggered".

Lol, you're the one who got triggered by this post which didn't even mention the OP's politics.

reply

Agreed, and can we insist that they exclusively stay on *that* topics segment, and not infest the rest of the site with their constant negativity and false sense of victimhood?

reply

To all the young people out there, repeat this phrase: If I ever get rich and famous, I'm going to take care of homeless people.

Thank you.

reply

wtf for? They are the worst of humanity. People who their families dont even want because of how worthless they are.

reply

I hope you rot in hell, douchebag. The problem is not that so many people died of Covid, but that so many assholes survived.

reply

Covid hasn't done much more than very lightly tickle the balls of the world's population.

Not even 4 million in nearly two years. Meanwhile the world's population INCREASES by over 80 million per year!

So more and more assholes are being born all the time, regardless of covid...

reply

I had hopes... 🙂

reply

You know they're junkies who cant hold down a simple jobs and cant get any because of a rap sheet so long from committing crimes towards innocent people? You know that right? You want to help them what? Live longer to reproduce and pass on their dysfunctional and poisoned seed? Yikes. Grow up.

reply

I worked almost 10 years with homeless people. Sure there were a few junkies, but most of them just had a really hard lot. You want to blame them for being not that tough as you think you are? Because you have been pampered by your family all your life?

dysfunctional and poisoned seed

I wonder whether homelessness or dullness is congenital. I bet on the latter.

reply

I've been locked up with them. They had it hard because they made every bonehead mistake in the book and take zero responsibility because they are screwed up in the head and no amount of warm soup is gonna fix them. Help is wasted on them.

reply

That isn't what the Word of God says about them.

Really, you should take God at His Word.

reply

NEWS FLASH: Most homeless people have mental disorders and they don't want help. They don't want to work. If you give them a house, they are just going to sleep all day and piss all over it. They won't get a job to pay the property taxes, and they won't cut the grass.

reply

Homeless people are sexually and physically assaulted everyday because of people and their attitudes like you.

How do you people sleep at night??

reply

Many homeless people don't want to be "taken care of". They don't want to work for a living. They don't want to live in a shelter. They don't want to attend rehab.

I agree to helping the ones that are open to being helped. Many of them are mentally challenged. If you put them in an institution, they will escape.

The problem isn't as simple as helping those who don't wish to be helped.

reply

I try to take care of homeless people even without being rich and famous, but if I were the latter it would sure help, if anyone's interested. 🙂

reply

I'm sure if you became rich and famous you would completely forget about the homeless people - but God bless your optimism!

reply

Such a troll post. You just contradicted your "point". You said "so-called actor", while he can play those roles because he IS an actor. By your logic people must only play themselves to be actors, but then they WOULDN'T be actors. Anyway I thought his acting in Philadelphia was great; I hated Forest Gump though. But he's made tons of films since then that are better including Sully (no he's no really an airline pilot), Saving Private Ryan (no he wasn't actually a WW2 soldier).

reply

Nonsense.

Tom Hanks is an old straight white male actor. There are many roles undefined by race or gender which he could play (if he was capable of acting) asides from himself.

However gay and mentally challenged parts should be played by those with that experience in order for us to see their truth in the characters.

reply

So they should have gotten Scott Baio to play Gump!

reply

I guess you're too young to remember Bosom Buddies.

reply

Loved that show.

reply

I'm sorry you had to go through that

reply

What? who should apologize to Mr. Hanks Yah goof.
