A Beautiful Day In The Neighborhood

[TexasGary 867]

In perhaps the greatest casting of all time:

 

 

[Red Five 41615]

Rated NC-17.

[Beau Vine 55840]

I think the one of those Twitter challenges should be 'Name a movie role for Tom Hanks that he wouldn't knock completely out of the park."

Odd timing for this movie, though, so soon after the documentary had such wide release.

Actually probably a good thing.  The Doc will have been out a year or so, so it might actually increase the interest.

He was amazing IMO as Walt Disney in Saving Mr Banks. He looks incredible here, too.

today on the ticket jake said something about tom hanks, fred rogers, and epstein’s black book.  anybody have dirt on that?

[bluto 4986]

yaaaaaa not really digging this trailer, hanks is just not a good fit.... not really sure one exists. loved the documentary a lot though. 

[Parliament 14572]

I hope it covers his time in Vietnam as a Navy Seal.  (Dude saw some shit.)

Won't YouBe My Neighbor is fantastic. Got a bad feeling that this will get a Spielberg-esque treatment with Fred healing the reporter who opens up to him about his being bullied as a child.

Almost no chance we won't see this Thanksgiving weekend, but it's got all the earmarks of an overwrought melodrama based more in fiction than fact.

It looks like they’re using some of the interviews used in the doc as a basis for the film. I don’t really get the point but if more people are exposed or reintroduced to Fred then I guess it’s a good thing.

Mr Rogers always gave me the pedo vibe.  

[PRONG HORN 3222]

I think Daniel DL should have been given right to first refusal.  Hanks is smiling too much when he sings and does the intro.  It looks like him and the director didn't do their homework.

It would've been a quick conversation, since DDL retired from acting in 2017.

LOL, this was a fun one to do some research on.

[Red Five 41615]

I'm pretty sure this isn't the greatest casting of all time, or even good casting. It looks like Tom Hanks in a sweater.

But Fred Rogers was pretty much the most unique person ever, so outside of having something crazy work like Crispin Glover, I'm not sure what else you could do.

Same...even as a kid he creeped me out.  Never was on board with him, but he seems like he genuinely cared for kids and their well being

[Carl Spackler 3612]

You mofos slagging on Mr. Rogers are all going straight to hell.

Is Mr. Rogers creepy as fuck?

Snopes report - Confirmed

Would have gone with Walken or Malcovich, but okay.

[Sbbruin 22098]

Mr. Rogers was OK, but I was always partial to "Mr. Robinson's Neighborhood"

Jim Parsons would have made a good Mr. Rogers.

I can't stand him, but you're right. Hanks will be great (as usual).

I'd like to see a biopic on Jerry Haynes. Dallas kids knew him as Mr. Peppermint, but he did so much more. He reported live on the Kennedy assassination, he was in RoboCop and his son was a founding member of the Butthole Surfers. That has to be an interesting backstory.

[EuroHorn 3287]

This was a pretty good documentary

Agree. He has just enough of the weird vibe. Not a fan, but think he could nail the role.

Saw this today and what a wonderful movie. Tom Hanks was perfect in the role of Mr. Rogers. We need more Fred Rogers kindness and care for each other in this world. The current POTUS and his family should be forced to watch it and rewatch it for a week.

Saw movie tonight and it will leave you with same feeling.  I found movie extremely slow and dull.

[OWLVIS 562]

Fred Rogers saw the terrible potential of television and technology and did something positive instead of just bitching.

The "pedo" vibe is an adult interpretation of how he spoke to kids directly yet still on their level. We're cynical and distrusting of kindness.  So we read into it. And often for damn good reasons , people in general suck.

But we all need friends

I decided on a whim today to see the film because I like Tom Hanks and just had to see how he played the man.

Caveat: Never saw a complete Mr. Rogers show, but my kids watched it in their very early years before they got the be “cool” guys.

I thought he did a masterful  job, and the story line was very entertaining ranging from dark to delightful.

Agrer  with AB- great little movie. Not what I expected. Tom Hanks almost in a supporting role as Mr. Rogers. 
 

great flick. Love the message.
