It's' the least Tom could do, after forcing Meg Ryan's independent bookstore to close by opening a soulless cookie-cutter chain nearby.

Tom Hanks's character from You've Got Mail would not approve of this behavior.

In other news, I am a loser.

Here's topic worthy of Jezebel.

Would everyone think Marisa Tomei was doing a great acting job in "The Wrestler" if her body was not "smokin'"? It is kind of bugging me that the praise of her mental work is inextricably linked with how great she looks naked. Would she have been considered more or less laudable is she had - gasp - cellulite? Or if her boobs were not so perky?

I do not mean this as any snark to Ms. Tomei. I think she is great and I think she also looks great. I just wonder if to be one, she has to be the other, too.

bated breath, not baited breath, unless one eats nightcrawlers and bits of velveeta.

As for Guy and Jemima, I believe there are only 20 celebrities in England, and it is required that they all date each other at least once to keep Hello Magazine happy. (Or maybe get their check from Hello...)

Tom Hanks is either has a PR genius working for him or he really is the greatest guy ever (possibly both) because, in all my years I have never heard one bad thing about him. Bravo, Tom.

Now I have heard a thing or two about Mrs. Hanks...

@LucilleMcGillicuddy: Firstly, a disclaimer--in a bad mood, but is he "literally" the nicest guy in Hollywood?

Also, worked on "Castaway"--nightmare, but to be fair, it was Mrs. H, but he certainly condoned the behavior...

@ascq: Let's put nicest guy in Hollywood in perspective. Because, let's face it, we are grading on a pretty serious curve. When someone is a true nightmare (ahem, Mr. Stiller) it can be pretty fucking bad.

Perhaps Tom lets his wife articulate all his bad stuff so he can remain relatively unscathed.

It may be easy to say "don't be possessed by your possessions" when said possessions are pretty much at your disposable anyways.

Pet peeve: it's "bated breath", not "baited breath".

ARGH! Baited with what? Minnows?

@nex0s: Waxworms. They're standard for catching your breath in frozen MI. If you wanna get fancy you can use one of those spinner-worm thingies, but then you might catch someone else's breath and depending on what they've had for lunch it may not be a good idea.

@nex0s: I hate that one and when people write that they were "pouring" over a book. Pouring what--maple syrup? That's not good for books...it's PORING. Yes, it's counterintuitive. It's also correct.

It could be just me, but I don't think Cathy would be making such philosophically non-material statements if she was talking about 2 millions worth of HER possessions.

It is soooooo easy to say "just things" when you're talking about someone else's shit.

Anyone Myspace friends with Tom Hanks? It's ADORABLE and he actually keeps it up himself. He seems like the sweetest dude ever.

I didn't care for any Tom Hanks movie between Joe Versus The Volcano and Charlie Wilson's War, but he seems like the nicest nicest nicest man. Part of me thinks "barf!" and the other part thinks, "awwww."

My friend delivered a pizza to Tom Hanks when he stayed in our town. The pizza was ten bucks, and my friend was tipped $200.

That Hanks story makes me laugh. You know, because of You've Got Mail. Okay, not laugh, but I thought it was cute.

@Penny Plastic (Archetype): You've Got Mail is one of those films I can't not watch - right to the very end - if I come across it while flicking channels. I think it's the combination of bookshops and quaint internet references.

Joe Versus The Volcano is the best Hanks/Ryan movie though (and yes I do have them ranked, do you have a problem with that? WELL??)

Joe Versus The Volcano is one of those movies even my hippie relatives will watch. The ones who don't even own a television. I still don't know why.....

@Kivrin: You've Got Mail and Love, Actually are my two default movies -- I will watch them any time they are on TV and any time I can't think of something else to watch on DVD.

The scene in You've Got Mail where Meg Ryan quotes Joni Mitchell always makes me tear up, and the almost-very end (before the garden), where he says, "Oh, how I wish you would" gets me.
