Can I Get an AMEN!?

Tom Hanks Representing his disdain for pork-rinds 
My friends can attest to the fact that i have a raging cinema boner for Tom Hanks. I will argue to the bone that Tom Hanks is one of the greatest actors of the last thirty years. Call me weird, gay, stupid or whatever. The fact of the matter is Tom Hanks has played everything. From a child trapped in an adults body in Big (first oscar nomination), a comedic walking calamity opposite Shelly Long in The Money Pit, a homosexual Lawyer with AIDS in Philadelphia opposite Denzel Washington(second Oscar nomination, and first win), a slow, questionably retarded soldier, pingpong champion, all american football player, shrimp boat tycoon, etc, in Forrest Gump(third nomination, second consecutive oscar win), A soldier in WWII looking for Good Will Hunting(Matt Damon pun) in the Speilberg masterpiece Saving Private Ryan, (fourth Oscar nomination) A Guard for inmates on death row opposite Micheal Clarke Duncan(rest in peace) who discovers the inmates special gift. Finally, the classic man on a desert island opposite Wilson Vollyball, (unnoticed by the academy for Best Supporting Actor) who finds himself stuck there for years and decides to venture back and is saved by a boat (Fifth Oscar nomination)... not to mention he has been the Voice of Woody the cowboy in Pixar's Trilogy Toy Story (fucking tear jerkers). To top it all off, he's a genuinely kind person. So is my obsession with Tom Hanks lust or true love. well, he's failed to disappoint me... (Larry Crown being a mulligan, everybody gets one) With Cloud Atlas on the rise of premiering October 26th in the US, I know i will be in line for tickets immediately. so if you think this is an advertisement? your wrong, it's actually a religion. before you write this off, just ask yourself one question....  WWTHD?
