I feel like there are at least half a dozen members of this forum who should start a Group Therapy counselling session about me to help the healing process.

Hanks needs to go against type. Period. I think that's what he's thinking with the big Col. Parker role upcoming.......he's a strange case because like I always say when you hit your 60s usually your legacy is sealed and his is with 2 wins and to many people he's an all-time great etc.........but sometimes guys catch lightning in a bottle in their 60s (like Dafoe the last 3 years) so you sort of want it to happen for Hanks too. But really that's all that's been missing for him are Oscar nods - the films have been hits, his work has been good, he's still big-time......but yeah I'd be up for a change of pace for him - should have tried it sooner. I was about to ask if he's ever played against type... I don't think he has.

I could even argue Saving Private Ryan has Hanks in a really dark place, despite the perceived "heroism" of his character.

I was about to ask if he's ever played against type... I don't think he has. He has. It just has never really worked. stephen will swear by Cloud Atlas, but to many the while thing reeked of a gimmick (not just for Hanks, but all the actors in that movie). He was supposed to be nasty in Bonfire Of The Vanities, but couldn't sell it and was terribly miscast. The Circle was an all around dud. I think even Hanks himself has admitted he can't really be intimidating as an actor. Contrary to popular belief, I've never disliked Hanks and have always respected his talent. He's a great actor within his niche. Some people take my critical stance on certain actors as wonton hating, but the reality is, I often turn out to be correct in my analysis, which incenses people even more. I nominated Hanks as an honorable mention for Mattsby "Best Actor Of the 2010's" poll. The notion that I'd be throwing a party if he didn't get a nomination is ludicrous. But I always try to keep it real. Pointing out Hanks very obvious limitations and drawbacks does not mean I dislike the man or want him to fail. But people often like you to coat shit in cotton candy.

You started pretending like you always knew Penn would lose relevance after he had already lost relevance. And I've got the screenshots to prove it. 2. You started acting like you always knew Hanks was being snubbed for playing the good guy after he got snubbed for Captain Phillips. Not before, as much as you'd like to pretend so. Kind of like you started acting like you called Banderas winning at NYFCC this year when all you said was "maybe he's in the running for Best Actor." You're full of shit, and so are all your proclamations about being right in your analyses.

The ass-backwards "Denzel Wars" on The Irishman thread was a sobering wake-up call for bullshit agressive point scoring and grudge holding everyone on this forum is sick and tired of.It's gone on for years and nobody is here for it anymore.I want to move on, as does every sane person on this board. I forgive you dude. It's over. Peace.

They never blocked me. I can read all their posts, so it was all public posturing. I did get a few lovely PM's from some posters afterwards though

Cool story. I know you don't really care about this forum or anyone on it, but another thread is being ruined because you cannot let go.
So I'll be the adult. Bye!

I thought I should argue about Hanks having played against type (didn't like Cloud Atlas, agree about League of Their Own, disagree on Ladykillers and stuff like that) but I guess it's pointless. One random post amidst the war between Good God and Pupdurcs...

You gloated about your analysis skills, and I questioned when your analysis has been right. You knew you had nothing, and you started deflecting like you always do. I'm wise to your tricks, chum. Like I've said before, you keep lying, and I'll keep calling out those lies. It's that simple.
