Which movie would probably make more money?

[TownieDeac]

i much, much prefer reading the absurd arguments rj makes to all the wolves who jump at any thread he posts in

like i get that he makes indefensible arguments and then defends them to the death (of logic) and it's awesome

but can't we just admire it without going through the same jokes every single time?

This isn't an opinion-based thing. The facts are solidly in favor of Hanks. That's the reality. Look at the data I've provided.

Uh, Townie, you started this very thread.

 

[ImTheCaptain]

he started the tom cruise article thread; the one with an actual, interesting discussion topic

 

[bigdoublezero]

My bad, got my streams crossed.


See how easy that is, RJ?

 

[RacerDeac]

Somebody get cookout a pacifier and change his diaper....he's negged me five times since 11:37AM my time.....real mature buddy...

Damn. Must be nice to be a mod.

I think you could even go a step further and say Hanks ushered in the era of big stars doing animation in which people go to hear the voice.

Who voiced Ariel, the Beast, Aladdin?

Robin Williams was Genie.

 

[Biff Tannen]

I made a mistake about Goats.

The reality is if it's not a franchise animation it's more likely that Clooney will do better at this point in time.

There's no sense continuing as no one will change their minds.

So what is Clooney's iconic movie? The Ocean's Eleven franchise? Up In The Air? Syriana? Seriously, he's got bupkis compared to Hanks (Big, Private Ryan, Gump, Green Mile, Castaway, Toy Story, Polar Express).

If Clooney is so clearly the more bankable leading man, then surely he'd have a movie in which he was the leading man where he created some sort of legacy for himself.

I had no idea people went to animated movies to hear somebody do the voices.

And Robin Williams did the voice of the Genie in Aladdin.

Robin Williams was Genie.

A couple of hours late.

USUAL SUSPECTS list

Milhouse
RSF
PhDeac
Deacvision
Liquid Karma
Probably BDZ

I'm missing a bunch, who else?

Toogs & Racer

Sounds like we need another pole: All other things being equal, which poster's mere presence on a thread is more likely to drive RJ into an all-day posting frenzy in defense of an indefensible position?

also, gilbert gottfried was Iago. at the time he was a mildly relevant comedian

also, Buddy Hackett was the seagull in '89's Little Mermaid

Fox & the Hound featured Mickey Rooney (1981)

Angela Lansbury in Beauty/Beast

Lion King really was the start of major actors picking up a majority of roles.

Major musicians have been contributing since the 70s (Roger Miller in Robin Hood)

Especially not the 92% that disagree with you. Usual Suspects.

I just ask that when a Tom Hanks v. George Clooney article comes out, RJ reads it before posting about it.

I thought Jews knew Hollywood?

Stop bringing up personal stuff!

Yes. Add Whoopi and Cheech to the list as well. But Toy Story had Tom Hanks coming off Forrest Gump and Tim Allen in the middle of Home Improvement. Home Improvement was the #3 show on TV in 1994-95.

Good Night and Good Luck? A movie in which Clooney played a supporting role and wasn't nominated for an acting award?

 

[Biff Tannen]

He had to be kidding.

Pretty sure it would be O Brother, Where Art Thou? But Clooney made his name primarily off ER. Hanks got a boost from his role on Bosom Buddies, but nothing like Clooney did.

If this is about my post, I deleted it. When I typed it out, it was in the back of my head that Clooney was Murrow. I misremembered and removed the post.
