As only he can, my friend (and friend of Threedonia) Jack Marino has been letting loose the hounds of hell on Tom Hanks (and Hollywood) in the comments section over at Big Hollywood. For those who don’t slog through those parts, notably the comments, which can admittedly get out of control sometimes, thought it’d be nice share highlights from Jack’s mini-manifestos. They’re too amazing to miss.
For those of you enjoying The Pacific, more power to ya. Me (and Jack), now done with anything with which Tom has his name attached, as awesome as it looks, even the upcoming Toy Story 3. The time has come, to say fair’s fair, won’t help pay their rents, we don’t have to share…
Also, please don’t forget Jack’s Warrior Filmmaker show can be heard online every Friday night, 8-9 PM Pacific on LA Talk Radio.
From March 15 – Tom Hanks Clarifies: WWII & War on Terror Represent Wars of Terror and ‘Ignorance’
Tom Hanks is nothing but a big ass. The fact that every Aussie POW was beheaded by the Japanese is something they learned from who, Tom??? Only 10% of all allied POWs were spared only because we dropped two A-bombs on the bastards to end the war. The fact is they would put American & British POWs on cargo ships with Japanese markings on them so US subs would sink them thinking they were supply ships.This is war Tom, not sex, you dumb idiot. Neither Hanks nor Stevie-boy have the balls to make a film that shows the Vietnam Veteran as heros. We fought over 10,000 battles, we won them all and not one of these leftist mad dogs have the guts to honor a Vietnam Vet. Now they are going after the greatest generation that saved their world so Hanks could make his way to Hollywood, make it rich and famous and then piss on the system that allows him to live like royalty. Tom, you and the rest of your kind are nothing more than blue collar working class ingrate trash with multi-millions.
My Father, my Grandfather, uncles all fought in WWII for your worthless ass, you son of a bitch. Now, my own son fought in Iraq… I piss on you Tom, your family and everything you stand for along with your fellow malcontents. Why the American public won’t boycott your films and all the rest of your peer groups films is beyond me. We made you what you are, we feed you our money and this is the thanks we get. You and your entire cult of Hollywood losers are all assholes plain and simple.
And Jack’s just gettin’ warmed up, folks …
From March 16 – Wars of Race, Wars of Terror, & the World According to Tom Hanks
I am the son and grandson of World War II combat veterans. Tom Hanks for years and years charmed his way into America’s heart, even the sycophant media proclaim him the new ‘James Stewart.’ I’m sure we would hear Mr. Stewart call America a racist Nation for fighting the Japanese. At least the moment Sean Penn became famous he unloaded his stomach vile upon the nation. But Hanks play Mr. Charmer until today when his true colors came out. I guess he has to pay the devil his dues for all the fame and money he has achieved.I wonder it Tommy boy knows that the Japanese invaded China in the 1920s and raped that country six ways to Sunday. Even today they deny the Rape of Nanking. They went into Korea and killed thousands. There is no love lost between the Koreans and the Japanese.
Then they invaded all the Pacific Rim islands and made slaves of all the Philippines and that new race by these libtards, the “Island Pacifiers.” After that, they sneak-attacked us on Dec 7. Since we are such pricks, did Tommy boy read about the Bataan Death march, that little walk in the sun where the Shinto monks killed over 700 allied troops. That sure wasn’t racism, that was retaliation of American Imperialism and for shutting off the oil to the Emperor. How dare we big bad Yankee imperialistic dogs shut off the juice so the living God can gobble up nations…. gobble, gobble, gobble!
How about the fact that not one Australian POW went home after the war, the Japanese beheaded everyone of them or the fact that, toward the end of the war, they would put Allied POWs, into cargo ships and anchor them off Tokyo Bay so US Subs would sink them. Here we are thinking there were supply ships waiting to be unloaded. That was their Shinto faith of brotherly love towards the American Dogs.
I don’t know about you guys out there that read this, but I am FED UP with these Hollywood rich assholes who piss on everything we stand for. I would match the worst time in America’s history to any other country out there from any other time period.
Where else on this ingrate worthless planet can a kid like Hanks, who comes from a divorced home, make his way here and become a multi-millionaire and then turns around and calls America a racist country?
What other damn country out there isn’t racist? The Democrat Party, which the entire Hollywood, the media, their commie professors in our universities all belong too, has a history of nothing but being a racist party. It was the Democrats that maintained slavery and refuse to sigh the Constitution if they outlawed it. It was the Democrats that broke away from the Union to maintain States Rights for the reason of slavery, not to protect any of the other rights, which today we are dealing with. It was the Democrats who put in Jim Crow, created the Klan, segregation, it was the Dems that refused to join the civil rights movement until LBJ figured by passing the Civil Rights Act he would own the ‘N” vote forever in this country as he said in ‘64.
To add insult to injury we have to deal with these leftist malcontents that crawled out of the mud in Woodstock and listen to the ramblings of what… actors? Let’s give these losers a lesson in capitalism, STOP GOING TO SEE THEIR FILMS, DON’T WATCH THEIR HISTORY CHANNEL films that insult AMERICA.
STOP FEEDING THESE ANIMALS, break them at the box office, hurt them in their bank accounts, shun them as outcast and lepers as they do us. When they open their pie hole put your foot down their throats. Don’t let the bastards breathe, this is OUR COUNTRY, our home that they are taking a dump in and we are paying them to do it.
Now.
Tom Hanks has come out of his mansion paid for by a conservative country to insult the greatest generation that saved his worthless ingrate ass from ending up in a death camp brought to you by those non-aggression nations like Japan, Germany and that commie paradise CCCP.
Its time we slap these quisling misprint ingrates down and hold them up for ridicule as they do any conservative. Hanks, Spielberg, Penn, Stone, Mahar, Baldwin and the rest of this worthless mediocre town must be held accountable for the vile hate that spews out of their mouths. They feel we can’t do anything to them, but let’s stop feeding these fat bloated pigs that live off our hard earn money.
These bums couldn’t walk in the boots of a new recruit at boot camp. Have you no shame Tom Hanks? How dare you call our war in the Pacific a racist war on our side, when we still have dead Marines buried in the sand all over the Pacific, in not even unmarked graves? You sir, are the lowest of a human being. Damn you and your ideology.
Could not have said it better myself. WOW! Everything Jack said is true to. The wars against Japan and Germany were totally different. The treatment of our POW’s by the Japanese alone makes Hank’s words foul lies. I hate his rotten guts.
How can you dance when the world is turning, Eric?
I guess it’s a good thing I am not in a position to have to make a choice if I’m going to watch “The Pacific” or not.
I think you’d like The Pacific Outlaw… if war vets even care to view war movies…
I’ll probably see it eventually, but I’m in no hurry right now.
Agree with everything Jack said, but cringe at the way he said it. Yeah, I know, sometimes you have to shout – and there’s value to having people on your side shout – but so prefer genteel debate. (But then, I am old…) Anyways, I got one in the queue at Front Page on this very subject. Think it’s supposed to run tomorrow. Same basic message, but a most different tone.
Pussy.
Thank you all for the support and for Eric for doing this. Sometimes you have to get in the face of an arrogant bully. It is nice when you can have a friendly debate. We as a nation are long past that. We conservatives have taken the high road and been polite to animals who call us every name in the book. Like it or not we conservative christians are the new JEWS of Germany. Just hear the HATE that comes out of their mouths. They have been in this position since the 50s and they are use to have us act like a beaten wife. I don’t know about all of you out there, I say stand up, shove them back as hard as you can with your mouth and or your hands if that comes up. The left are nothing more then barking dogs and we growl and the deepest and lowest growl will scare off anyone.
We are in war for the soul of our Country and the future of our kids and grandkids. Lets get into the battle and take the offense when an arse like Tom Hanks opens his worthless mouth. Lets make him regret the day he said this about the country he lives high off the fat of this nation. Who the hell does he and the rest of these ingrates think they are. They wouldn’t be where they were if we didn’t drive to the theater and pay our money to be insulted by this boob. Not one of these SOBS have one ounce of humility and without humility you don’t have the spirit of God in you.
I could never insult the Country that brought me this kind of wealth, level of a life style and the wealth he has. So we all need to give Tom a wake up call and confront him, boycott him, and let him know he just insulted that people who made him rich.
Time to stop this crap from these people who would be running around doing auditions if they never got a break.
Semper Fi Jack! Tom middle finger salute to you darlin!
Conservatives have been trying the ‘boycott’ tactic since Easy Rider garnered Oscar nominations in 1970. It hasn’t really gained us much. In fact, it allowed the Lefties to run wild.
Beside, while you’re figuratively ’sticking it to the man’ by ignoring Toy Story 3, you’re also hurting a guy like John Ratzenberger, who made the following comments at a Scott Brown rally:
“This isn’t the Democratic party of our fathers and grandfathers. This is the party of Woodstock hippies. I was at Woodstock — I built the stage. And when everything fell apart, and people were fighting for peanut-butter sandwiches, it was the National Guard who came in and saved the same people who were protesting them. So when Hillary Clinton a few years ago wanted to build a Woodstock memorial, I said it should be a statue of a National Guardsman feeding a crying hippie.”
The conservative boycott attitude has allowed the Left to dominate every cultural influence profession there is. WFB called for it in God and Man at Yale and today Yale is more secular, more left-wing than ever. The guy who wrote the intro to that book’s anniversary issue even had to acknowledge that regarding Buckley’s effort to force Yale to change by getting alumni to effectively boycott the school the book was a monumental failure.
So why keep going back to the same old tactic?
And as to how Jack makes his argument – I’m with Tzrupr. Yelling, screaming and calling people names just gets more of the same in return. It might make you feel good in the short-term, but you get nothing in the long term.
Fair enough, Daniel, but little additional sage advice from Mr. Klavan never hurts either:
Far be it for me to argue with Mr. Klavan
but I have to agree with Daniel. While I can’t disagree with the substance of Mr. Marino’s argument (and I have to admire his willingness to put his money where his mouth is and make his own movie)… the mean-spiritedness and invective are a turn-off, at least for an independent like me. I get the whole “fight fire with fire” argument but a little discernment is in order.
I don’t think Tom Hanks is a bad person or that he’s making these remarks to spit on the graves of the people who fought WW2. I think it’s simple ignorance, and that is perhaps the saddest reason of all. Is what he said stupid and ill-informed? Absolutely. Is there a teaching moment somewhere here? Yes. But I won’t boycott his work or discount his previous accomplishments (such as they are). And I don’t think he’s anywhere near the same universe as Sean Penn.
Eric, If one is going to take Klavan’s position, which I don’t necessarily oppose, then be smart about it.
If you’re going to write novels, firing off obscenity filled bile probably won’t be that big a deal. Novel writing is a solitary adventure. And if your past hate filled screeds prevent you from finding an editor and publisher, you can always go the self-publish route.
But when you get into a collaborative effort like film-making, some people might not want to work with someone who is known for calling anyone they disagree with an ass, son of bitch, bastard, quisling ingrate, etc., etc., ad nauseum. Even if Paul Greengrass was open-minded enough to do a project with Mr. Marino, after reading something like this what do you think the chances are of that happening? And if conservatives got off their political hobby-horses for a few minutes and actually started investing in the cultural influence professions, would you want to give your money to someone who might take to the ‘interwebs’ with an ALL CAPS, obscenity laced screed about what a lousy American you are over a political disagreement?
I guess what I’m trying to say is that Klavan does have a point. But be smart about the complaints. Andrew’s PJTV stuff works because he brings a sense of humor to it.
I hope posts like this, from Mr. Marino, does not hurt his career, but I expect it will. And instead of bringing people together for another film, he’ll alienate folks, and all we’ll get are more online screeds about how Hollywood is full of “bums” and “fat bloated pigs,” and no one should give those “leftist malcontents” any money.
McDannyboy,
You know a lot more about the business than I do, but I still think you assume a lot more morality and ethics in Hollywood than is legitimate. I think Hollywood will ignore anything to make a buck. Look at Roman Polanski. Mel Gibson. O.J. Simpson. If Jack Marino came to Greengrass with a good script Greengrass would partner with him in a New York minute. Bill Maher spills bile, unpredictably, at every turn, and he keeps getting air time. Michael Moore has bit every hand that has ever fed him (and that’s a lot of hands!) and he still gets funding, studio backing and theater space. Hollywood is a den of whores.
genteel debate? Why on God’s green earth would you want to engage in genteel debate with these thugs? I think the invective is called for. These people continually call us racist, ignorant and awful , while they continue to call themselves endowed with grace. Mr Marino is exactly right. They don’t deserve genteel reaction. These guys beat people up for disagreeing, they try to pass laws to criminalize counter opinions, they try to steal every last penny from the producers. The assholes in Hollywood epitomize the top of the looter chain. I’m with Marino, I do not care what they produce, I do not send a penny to the people like Cameron, Penn, and now Hanks. As much as I would like to see the Pacific, nope, gonna pass.
My father fought his way across Europe from North Africa to Dachau. He was prepping for Japan when the war ended. The Japanese of 70 years ago got exactly what they deserved, no wait, they got far less than they deserved, just read about how they tied the Chinese of Nanking to posts and used them for bayonet practice…and now, Mr Hanks, tell me where the US did that. And they did that to hundreds of thousands, women, children the old. Well…at least they didn’t discriminate.
I just don’t get how they think this way.
And then they tell conservatives how filled with hate we are…yeah right.
BS! I am sick and tired of millions of people, tens of millions of Americans being forced to play Ralph Parker to the leftys goon like Scott Farkas’ and Grover Dills. Wipe the snot from your noses, fix your glasses and kick hippy arse!
As far as boycotting I just don’t see Damon movies or Sean Penn movies. Boycotting has nothing to do with it. As far as Tom Hanks goes? He can stick it. If we get the Pacific it will be a used blu ray copy which ensures said anti American hate man won’t get a bloody dime.
Hi Daniel,
Just to give you some background about me. I really do appreciate your concern about my career and I wish I could clone a million of you that would support my career. I am originally from the Boston area and I grew up as a Democrat but we were all huge conservatives. In the 70s I was politically active and a lot of my friends ran against the kennedy machine in Mass and they are thugs and you can only deal with a thug as a thug. That is all the understand. We republicans conservatives must stop being the battered wife of the abusive democratic party that preaches tolerance. This is fascism, its an American version and these people today in Hollywood are running towards the full blown force of how the Nazis were. The only difference is that the Democrats don’t use bats, guns or sticks. What they do to you if you disagree on any level is they will blackball you and throw the key away. In the Mafia you end up with a bullet in the back of the head and stuffed in a trunk. In Hollywood your agent drops you, your phone stops ringing and your close friends in the business won’t take your calls or be seen with you out in public.
This is what the Nazis did to Germans who had Jewish friends. Like it or not we conservatives christians, Catholics Mormons, we are the new JEWS of Germany and its 1934. Life is beginning to be a pain in the ass. The only difference is as I mentioned the leftist malcontents don’t have the stomach for blood and todays Christians, well we are not walking into the arena to be eaten by the lions.
We are in a street fight and in a street fight you get into the blood, the mud and the beer. American politics is a bar room fight, I found this out as a 20 year old in democratic politics not fighting Republicans but fighting leftist Kennedy zombies. Now, I am an independent filmmaker, I came out to Hollywood with dreams of achieving the American dream and to make films that honored America, our troops, God, Mom and apple pie. I thought this was the norm, little did I know that I fell into a leftist self hating group of Americans who HATE this country and they spent from 1969 to today making film after film attacking America, our Vietnam vets and now todays troops. Here I come, like Andy Hardy wanting to make a film to provide entertainment and maybe inspire some kid out there to make films like this too.
So I went out and raise all the capital in the private sector and made a low budget film called FORGOTTEN HEROES. Now this was my third film but my first directing. My other two films were in profit and I was learning what it is like to deal with real mobsters who are protected by our law under the guise of business. Their idea of business it that you make a film, they keep all the profit and you take a walk and thank you for your film! This is LIFE in the independent world of filmmaker. Do you know how many fellow filmmakers I know took this deal and they are all gone. I am still here because I refuse to allow these crooks and some of them are radical leftist too, do to me what Hitler did to Poland.
I made a film that shows the Vietnam Veteran as a hero, a good guy, you know the kind of films John Wayne made. They came after me like I was a war criminal and the entire Hollywood ‘mob’ that controls this town made sure that my little film would not see the light of day. This was 1990, I made the film in 88 and it took me two years to complete this. I made this film between the release of two leftist nam films, Platoon and Causalities of War. These two films is how the leftist malcontents see Vietnam, It was during these days i fought these bastards and they are bastards tooth and nail. They blackballed me, blacklisted me, politely ignore me and my film, either way for the next twenty years I was alone dragging this film around and having every door in this Land of the intolerant slammed in my face. Now, on the other hand all the independents wanted my film for free and they were going to ‘help’ me get out of this problem if I just handed my negative over to them. AFter a couple of years they would tell me, “look the film is old, it isn’t with the times, no one cares about Vietnam, but give us the film and we can help you” , I would asked why do I deserve this generosity from them?
In 1993 I sued a small time distributor and he tied me up for three years I couldn’t do a thing with my film since it was locked up in litigation. This is a typical trick of these legalize gangsters to break you and your spirit. They didn’t count on the fact I was a kid from Everett Ma we never give up. I won this law suit and put the bastard out of business. AFter that hit the papers I could not get a job washing floors in the studio commissary. My name was put in that black book that everyone denies that exist. This is a very small town and everyone knows everyone.
So after 1996 I went underground and came out in 2004 ready to take on Hollywood the leftist cult members. At this time there was an explosion on the internet with blogs and website. I was all over the place raising hell, again we are in a war with people who will destroy you if you disagree with them. Forget about even making a film that goes against their agenda.
I have been in so many battles with the left that I am all scared up and you cannot scorched a scar. In 2005 the first conservative film festival was born and that person who is a fellow filmmaker wouldn’t put my film in the same venue as his AFM level film. The AFM is the lower bowels of the film business and I spent ten years trying to get out of that hell hole. FORGOTTEN HEROES was my ticket out and I came close to landing a deal with MGM for a major theatrical release. That is another story for another time.
I was refused by the conservatives in three film festivals and on their blogs too. So between the leftist and my pals on the conservative side I am batting a 1000. What people don’t understand is that all these people today in the conservative movement that are running these huge blogs were all in High school when I was down in riverside in swamps with a 35-mm camera on my shoulder shooting real films. There are a lot of conservatives that have helped me, they have bought my film, they promote my film as the owner here on THREEDONIA which I am always grateful. They guys that run this site understand what it means for conservatives to stick together no matter what. They don’t eat their own as others have in the past.
For me these are all just bumps in the road. I get around them, and advance like Patton. I have my own website and I am selling my DVD for 19.95 plus S/H. I have a lot of great reviews, testimonials from Vietnam Vets, and just your average American who lives in the heartland. Here in Hollywood there is an intense jealousy among your peers and even with former partners. What I love are the people who have never made a film and are so jaded all these see it a film on the level of TITANIC or it isn’t a film. They all believe that is where they are all going if someone would just see their talent and give them 80 million dollars. This are the people I deal with on both sides of the fence – they are fruit-loops. None of them would last one year at the AFM.
So I am here, alone selling my 21 year old Vietnam action war film, that has NO F-words and I dare show a generation of Americans as heroes. I must have been out of my mind according to all my distractors. I don’t give a damn for Hollywood, the Hollywood I loved died in 1959 I came out way too late and landed in this place full of malcontents who are now so rich they actually believe the are demigods, after all they are all worth over a few hundred million dollars and they are not about to allow anyone with a different political and religious point of view join this club.
Meanwhile you have these phonies like Tom Hanks, Sean Penn, Alex Baldwin, George Clooney and the rest of these leftist cultist basically pissing on us every time they make a film or go on Bill Maher’s show. I want to know what gives these vile low lives the blanket immunity to spit on everything we as conservatives believe and we have to be polite back when we discuss anything with them. The left has been bitch slapping conservatives around for over 90 years and some conservatives must like it. As an American I refuse to eat anyone’s bullshit and I will tell it like it is and I will talk in the street language that they will understand that you are not going to allow these bastards to draw first blood.
The time for civl discussion is long gone. There was a time when both parties could sit and talk over a beer and get things done. That is when both sides believe in a real Republic in a democratic process. Today we are living with wannabe fascist who, if they had real balls would be out in the streets like the SA were and bust heads. The think is they know we Americans will fight back and give them worse they they give us and that is the only thing that is stopping them.
The time is to call them what they are in the language they understand. They get away with calling us nazis, no Hollywood critic said he would love to see all christians exterminated but on in a literal sense. Now you tell me how do you deal with that person? Since I’m sicilian I’d give the prick a Joe Pesci beating in the real sense, you think maybe the light bulb will go on?
If we as conservatives don’t fight back as dirty as we get we are doomed. Then we will have guns in the street and that isn’t what we want. All we have to do is call these mad dog leftist cult members on the carpet and exposed them for what they are. We all need to take the offensive and attack like Patton says in his speech, when they made real war films. This post wood-stock world we all live in is a complete and abject failure, they are holding on to it and attacking everything that repels it, in order to maintain it. Now, Hanks goes after the WWII generation that save the world from two countries unchecked would have murders billions. I say we call these animals what they are and don’t allow them to breathe. This is a fight for the soul of our kids and we owe it to all those young boys in graves all over Europe and the Pacific who gave up their dreams of growing old so we can live in the America they died for. Not some LSD trip from a bunch of baby boomer spoiled misprints that want to destroy everything this Republic stands for because they don’t like it??? Well excuse me, stop this planet so I can jump off without falling down.
It is going to take a hell of a lot more then being blackballed by the quisling leftist of hollywood cultist and the gutless conservatives to stop me because I have an ‘OLD” film and I might be a bore to them. The entire force of the 5 studio families couldn’t stop me and I ended up like Papillon at the end of the film, only because I could never raise the funds to take on these SOBS. You know the damage I can do to them if I get my hands on 250K or even a million to market FORGOTTEN HEROES. You think they gave Mel a hard time, I would love them to come after me like they did Mel,he was too damn polite, with me they have one of them biting back.
You can go to my site at http://www.forgottenheroesthemovie.com and read about my film and or buy the DVD. Everyone I sell is a victory for all of us conservatives my film is the only game in town and I am ignored like the drunk in a crowded elevator here in Hollywood. But, there is over 200 million plus Americans in the heartland that love this country, the vets, our troops, God and I have the only film that no one has seen that honors their sons, fathers, brothers, grandfathers, all I need is word of mouth and everyone to buy a copy for a vet.
Lets give Hollywood the Italian salute with my DVD. I am also donating 25% of the DVD gross sales to the AMERICAN VETERANS DISABLED FOR LIFE MEMORIAL FUND. We are honoring all those who wear the uniform of the Union to protect us from the A-holes out there.
Thank you all for your patience
Jack Marino
Amen, Jack. What these pusillanimous liberal types just don’t get is that war is about KILLING people and BREAKING things. It’s not a walk in the park and lest they ALSO forget, we didn’t ATTACK Japan, they attacked us in a most cowardly fashion, without a declaration of war, and on a Sunday morning when most of us were ASLEEP. Add that to the MANY wartime atrocities they committed all over the pacific region, including against our own POWS on the Phillipines, and other places, for which many of their officers and soldiers were tried and EXECUTED. We quarantined many suspected enemies, including Germans and Italians during the war, too. I know you liberal morons embrace COMMUNISM and have since the 20s, but is your view of history and world events so warped that you forget in all these cases WE WERE ATTACKED!!! What would you have us do? Turn the other cheek? How’s THAT possible when most of YOU don’t believe in GOD, either.
Daniel, and I don’t mean this in a confrontational way, how exactly has being genteel bettered the right’s cause through the years versus any boycotts and/or using aggressive language? Sure, may make us feel better by saying we don’t get in the mud with swine-like tactics, but hit ‘em on as many fronts, I say.
