I interviewed Hanks years ago for "Cast Away." Nice, charming fellow. But when I asked him one seemingly innocent question - why he hadn't played a villain up till that point - he snapped at me in a way that wasn't justified. I didn't feel I was challenging him with the question, but that's the way he took it.

I can't even process Hanks' quote. Can't do it. It's one thing to disagree on abortion, affirmative action and other contentious issues. It's another to fundamentally misunderstand a subject so thoroughly and come to such ludicrous conclusions.

I blame the editors/copy editors here ... such silly, off subject attacks don't belong in a book review. They should have been caught during the copy editing process.

Exactly ... exactly ... exactly.

How other critics missed the essential truths you illuminate here is beyond me. This is really the only review you need to read for this film.

As bad as you fear this clip will be ... actually watching it reveals its much, much worse. To call it unprofessional is only the start of the conversation.

Bill O'Reilly on his worst, most blustery day would never behave in such a fashion.
