I just heard Streets of Philadelphia on radio, which made me think of movies where Tom Hanks is in a leading role. I could not think of one I’ve seen where he was not convincing in the role.
I think he is one of the very best actors we’ve seen. Disagree?
I mean, he’s no Tom Cruise, Keanu Reeves, Nicholas Cage or Adam Sandler, but he’s pretty good!
I’m not sure any of the actors you listed has played a variety of different kinds of roles convincingly comparable to TH repertoire.
I think you might have missed the sarcasm in that post, probably because it was incredibly subtle and nuanced, much like the performances of Tom Cruise, Nicholas Cage, and Adam Sandler.
Lemmy users not take the obvious bait challenge, level impossible.
Incredible stuff, really.
I fucking hate Tom Cruise. That fish fucker.
I think you’re thinking of the Deep.
But, I can see the similarities. Secrets and lies inside a single building committed to world domination. Of markets.
I gotta hand it to Vaughn Snooze tho. He played himself really, really well in Magnolia.
I’ll be honest, I don’t know what any of that means. I was referring to the rumor that Tom Cruise has been spotted buying fish at markets and taking it into the bathroom and exiting the bathroom without the fish.
I’d never heard that rumour. But, I took it an ran with it. As rumours go.
It was a reference to The Boys, a graphic novel and TV series about superheroes behaving badly.
The Deep (basically Aquaman) can speak to sea animals and has a sexual relationship with an octopus. He’s also a weak, go-along-to-get-along, hegemon-appeasing sycophant.
Now, knowing that, I’m reasonably certain that I havent sold anyone on the Boys as a show. And, my apologies because it might take you a while to forget.
But, if Dom Fruze is seen entering a bathroom with an octopus and exiting without out it… you heard it here first.
Adam Sandler fucked it up for me. Waterboy and SNL, eh, mindless dumb fun I guess. Then he goes and does Punch Drunk Love, for some reason that one really hit with me. And since then… I don’t think he’s ever come close to that and every time I watch something with him I just think: damn bro…
