I'm not crazy about post-comedy Hanks.
His turn in Dragnet, though, was comedy GOLD.
It's almost like comedy!Hanks and post-comedy!Hanks are two different actors, like Hobbit!Dom and Lost!Dom.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

I liked him back in the Bosom Buddies/Bachelor Party/Big days, but I've hated him in every screen appearance since Forrest Gump.
Maybe he should only work on projects that start with a B?

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
I'll go stand by myself in the liking Tom Hanks, Meg Ryan, and Julia Roberts corner.

There. (I don't really have strong feelings for or against Meg Ryan, really. Haven't seen her in a whole lot.)

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Wait, you think Travolta is smug onscreen, yet you like The ROCK? Now, I like both of them, but I think they have the same "check me out" vibe.

Oh, and I like Hanks. Don't like all his films, but he did a great job in Catch Me if You Can, I thought.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Maybe, but one of them is actually worth checking out, and the other one is smarmy.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
The only actor I cannot stand is Annette Bening. I can't see her in a commercial or sound bite without muttering my Bening hatred. I don't know where it came from, but there it is.

Sure I went over to the Dark Side, but just to pick up a few things.
I liked Cumming in X-Men, but then I really liked Nightcrawler in the comics, and I thought he did a decent job with him. I'm more of a character luster than an actor luster.
This is me. My favorite Nightcrawler bit in the movie was his first scene teleporting through the White House to the Dies Irae from Mozart's Requiem. I think that's actually my favorite part.
