Behold the genius of Tom Hanks, philosopher, theologian, crybaby...

...or, I'll bet you $20 ol' Tom is worried about his piece of the gross.

Hmmm...I wonder how many boycotts of...oh, I don't know...trusses made with non-union labor ol' Tommy boy has endorsed in his day?

From This is London (via Drudge):

The row over the imminent release of the Da Vinci Code film grew today when star Tom Hanks hit out at its Catholic critics.

Cardinals, speaking with the authorisation of the Vatican, have called for the Hollywood version of Dan Brown's bestselling novel to be boycotted.
They say the theme of the film - that Jesus Christ had children with Mary Magdalene and that hardline Catholic movement Opus Dei covered up his secret life - is highly blasphemous.

But Oscar-winner Hanks said objectors to The Da Vinci Code are taking the film too seriously, telling the Evening Standard: "We always knew there would be a segment of society that would not want this movie to be shown.

"But the story we tell is loaded with all sorts of hooey and fun kind of scavenger-hunt-type nonsense.

"If you are going to take any sort of movie at face value, particularly a huge-budget motion picture like this, you'd be making a very big mistake.
"It's a damn good story and a lot of fun... all it is is dialogue. That never hurts."

I guess this Hollyweird dumbass never heard of Stalin's show trials. Now that was some dialogue!
