Only good thing Tom did was give us his son Chet, who (from what little celeb crap I see) seems pretty damn on the pulse for a bunch of topics and issues.

For what he's done, it's a small price to pay. If he'd visited Little St. James half as many times, he'd still deserve to have the Twitterati told he refused to fuck guys who'd gone gay for pay over concerns about STDs.

It’s only temporary. He’ll be back and proclaiming his assertion as being a better man, etc. in a week. He needs to go out swinging... from a rope.

I mean, I would hope Philadelphia wouldn't even be a thing at this point, it was barely watchable in 1994.

Tom Hanks is a goddamn communist.

"Could a straight man do what I did in Philadelphia now? No, and rightly so," Hanks said.

Accidentally based? Not really, but it does sound funny.

I actually read the article and all he’s saying is that there’s plenty of popular fag celebrities who can now play as fags, which isn’t unreasonable.

Well he’s right. Just like we don’t need Mediterranean skinned people to play Amerindians or Dolph Lungred to play a Russian anymore, we don’t need non-fags playing fags. Just like we don’t need white characters being black washed, a point we bitch about all the time here.

Also he’s represented America well in films and has played many noble characters. And I’ve seen many interviews with him and he loves America, American History, & Americans. Yet he’s treated as some Commie pedophile for acting like a naive 2008 Democrat.

Why have actors at all? Just find the person who is, IRL, most exactly like the character you want to portray.

Quoth Hanks:

"We're beyond that now, and I don't think people would accept the inauthenticity of a straight guy playing a gay guy."

Uh, isn't the whole fucking point of acting to convincingly play the part of someone or something that you're not?

I've never really understood the point of Method Acting. I mean, I can get the idea behind losing a lot of weight if you're playing someone who is starving on a desert island so you better look the part, or studying serial killers to get the physical tics and outward attitudes of one, but there comes a point where you have to separate yourself from the character, otherwise you end up looking like a damn lunatic (a la Jared Leto).
