Mori that topic wasn't about shaving my genitals, I just left the op kind of ambiguous and then I took a little break from the forums and then a mod changed it to genitals!
The scene with the fridge in Crytsal Skull is a good example of what was wrong with the movie, but personally what i find wrong with it isnt as extensive as everyone else.
I was laughing when he got in the fridge, and I thought it was great, I thought to myself "omg hes going to survive by ducking into a fridge, brilliant!" but then he flew through the air, bounced 50ft back up, landed, and then an unnecessarily computer generated gofer or mole or whatever had a reaction shot. It was beyond too much, it was over the top stupid.
I would've loved the scene if the explosion devestated the house, then after the dust had cleared, the fridge tipped sideways and he rolled out, simple, effective, silly and still unrealistic, but not ri-fucking-diculous.
Also the getting married at the end and the basic crummyness of the plot.
Oh yeah I also had a dream where Vin Diesel invited me to play D&D with him and then flew off like Superman.
Look, I'm no Freud scholar, but I'm fairly certain this means you want to get down and ruddy with Mr. Diesel. Which isn't exactly unusual. I mean, you don't need to know what a superego is know those abs are top notch.
Also, with that shaved head Diesel just looks like a giant phallus. Think on this.
Vin Diesel talks so slow that in the trailers for that film he never gets to finish a sentence.
Also Deathrace was awesome up until they started killing cops all over the place and the murderous psycopath bad guy racer became everyones best friend.
Vin Diesel was pretty good in Saving Private Ryan. . . actually everybody was good in that movie.
I basically cannot remember this fact, everytime I learn it, I forget it soon after and im amazed again when I hear it. Its like a blindspot in my memory.
It was one of his first movie roles, as I recall. There's a lot of good actors in that flick, too. Adam Goldberg, that nervous guy from Lost, Giovanni Ribisi [sic], Tom Hanks (of course), Tom Sizemore, the dad from Malcolm in the Middle, Dale Dye (as an officer, go figure), Paul Giamatti, Barry Pepper, Ed Burns and Matt Damon. . . huh. That is a lot of people, isn't it?

I haven't seen Saving Private Ryan
I think maybe because I'm afraid of it. Like, I still haven't been able to see Schindler's List all the way through, and I hear SPR is on that level of emotional intensity. I don't think I can handle it.

I really don't like Tom Hanks
Which is weird I guess
If he didn't have Forrest Gump under his belt, it'd be safe to say he hasn't starred in a single movie I like that wasn't animated.
You ever try and draw Falcor as a giant dong? No? It just ends up looking like a long cyclops.

When I was in boot to become an infantryman, on our one two-day off-base pass me and another guy went to see Private Ryan in theaters as it had just come out and during the opening scene we're all HOLY FUCK WHAT DID WE GET OURSELVES IN TO

Yeah, it's kind of overwrought and exploitive, but it's probably one of the best, if not the best, war movie to come out in the past 20 years. Yeah, the music is overdone and the frame story is bollocks, but it's a really amazing story. At the very least it's the most influential war movie of the past 20 years.
Pro Tip For Viewing: End the movie as soon as it goes back to the present day. I say this for Spielburg's sake more than your own, because you will cry and it is a fucking sucker punch of a scene. That whole sequence is bullshit, it's only there to get people to cry, because old people make everyone feel worse about everything.

How do you hate Big? Or Philadelphia? Or Catch Me if You Can? That Thing You Do? Joe Vs. The Volcano?
Where is your soul, sir?
Because Big is a movie I have not seen and I just really didn't enjoy Philadelphia and I can qualify Catch Me as starring Leo and That Thing You Do was really not that great in my opinion, once I realized "Shades" wasn't Tom Hanks after losing a bunch of weight for the role and what in the hell is Joe Vs. The Volcano?

Yeah, he should watch the whole thing the first time.

Plus yeah, Vin Diesel is alright in my books. I'd like to hang with him.
that was pretty awful

but what the hell happened in the BSG ending
I am far to lazy to wander through the later seasons at this point.

There are good looking actors in Hollywood
and there are bad looking actors in Hollywood
but only one actor has the Everyman look nailed in
that man is Tom Hanks
not handsome, not hideous,
just the most average looking star of all time
ahahaha oh shit

Hamlet will be Hamlet
An ineffable tragedy of the human spirit that still resonates, even today.
I guess I should also qualify my statement as "that he starred in that wasn't animated that I have seen"
I swear to god

I really don't enjoy Tom Hanks anyway, and so I do not have much incentive to watch the movies I have not seen.
It doesn't keep it from being BS, though.
