So I was in the video store today, and they were playing movie clips - not a whole movie, but the ads they show on the Family Video "channel" - and they were playing a clip from the movie The Polar Express, which I have still never seen. And as I stood there watching the clip, all I could think was: Tom Hanks is a terrific actor, possibly one of the best American actors of our time, and an extremely talented man... but I could have died happy without having ever heard him sing. Seriously. Never once in my life have I been watching a Tom Hanks movie and thought to myself "sure, this is good, but do you know what would really make it better? If Tom Hanks just opened his mouth and belted one out in that silky smooth voice of his." And in retrospect, that was pretty good judgment on my part.
Hey, you ever notice how there's a million (approximately) different Christmas specials that they play every single year, and the one Christmas special that's considered to be the best, the most timeless, and the one by which all other Christmas specials are measured, A Charlie Brown Christmas, is also the only one that actually mentions Jesus? .....well, I guess there's also Nestor the Christmas Donkey.
