This partnership goes hand-in-hand, like Meg Ryan and Tom Hanks in those movies they made that were so popular back in the 90's, or when Eddie Murphy actually had a partnership with something back in the 80's called comedy.

I'm looking for an old SNL sketch with Tom Hanks where he's part of a family where everyone tests out a squeaky chair and they all taste some sour milk and sniff foul cat litter and test a broken basement stair. I'm not sure the name of the sketch or what year it's from, but if you can find it, let me know. Google doesn't seem to know. I have a feeling it might be one of those things where I'm remembering...

No, not The Ruby Suns and, no, not Joe Versus the Volcano (a 1990 film starring Tom Hanks, Meg Ryan, and Lloyd Bridges — fucking great movie). I'm talking about Volcano Suns, a Boston group founded in 1983 by Mission of Burma's drummer Peter Prescott. Likened to groups like Hüsker Dü (Hüsker who?), Volcano Suns released six albums from 1985-1991 with a revolving cast of musicians. Their first two albums,...

Forrest Gump (1994) was perhaps the last movie where I really enjoyed Tom Hanks, in all his natural, witty, charismatic likability. After that he sort of shut off. Forrest sees only the goodness in people. In his company even the most desperate slowly come to feel they're like in the presence of an angel, the friend you always wanted to have, someone who knows you meant no harm. Without really having...
