I hated that manipulative, misogynistic piece of crap movie, but Hanks was able to play his character in ways that made him sympathetic despite being incredibly uninteresting. That takes true talent and skill.

Real acting is a craft, and it's so much more difficult than it looks. Stop your remote on the Sci-Fi channel at any time to see what bad, wooden acting looks like.
If sympathetic means "unintentionally hilarious," then I agree.

But then again, you are a lawyer, so why wouldn't you know everything about acting?

See "U-Turn", where he basically played himself. JLo (though she doesn't usually do anything for me) was the hotness in that flick, too.

And while the dialogue was very important to that portrayal, the moments in between the dialogue were even more important.

One of my favorite moments in Lost in Translation was when they were on the bed, talking, and he reached down and lightly touched her foot.

How could I possibly be so foolish as to think I know anything about acting?

Thank you for showing me the errors of my ways.

Just foolish to assume that no one else does.

Houston's Light Rail

Every single day, I see a version of this headline "1 Person Injured in Collision with METRORail".

So, is this some new sport for y'all? Or can people just not see a TRAIN?

From your posts, I just assume you didn't.

Remember that I learned to drive in Houston, and then think about the answer.

I wouldn't expect you to be aware. Too busy focused on what you think you know.

Ironic.

Minneapolis is getting light rail. The tracks run right through downtown. I predict disaster. Drivers around here are generally barely competent.

1) I like the fact that despite the headline, it appears that three people were injured, not just one.

2) On further reflection, I think this difference actually says it all -- only the people in the car count. The other two injured people were in the train.

Good God man, how could he fit a hat over that 'fro?! Must've been like a size 10 hat or something. I always wondered the same thing about Billy Sims and his football helmet. Of course, the helmet has more strength to compress the afro, so I would think that would be easier, albeit uncomfortable.
