Even the Da Vinci Code?
just because you dont like it doesnt mean it isnt a decent movie - it made enough at the box office and spawned a sequel which usually means its viewed as a success.
Have to say it's against religious teachings interesting concept but the book too cannot be read or movie not seen.
It's an insult in many ways from what I'm aware of.

Which particular bit is against 'religious teachings'?
Without Googling please.

What I like about Hanks is there’s a real sincerity to his support. He doesn’t try to pretend to be an absolute die hard, he’s open about how he came to like Villa. He frequently talks about us in media interviews and clearly retains an interest.

Watched the Villa YouTube highlights there and there's a shot of him after one of Duran's goals and he looks genuinely excited.

I love Tom Hanks.

We have/have had some pretty classy celebrity supporters, really.

Hanks, Benjamin, the Gleesons, Nigel Kennedy, Prince William, David Bradley, Chris Woakes, Ian Bell, Redd Pepper.

Not an exhaustive list, of course, but all very classy.

That also doesn't necessarily mean it's decent. It's all subjective anyway. I find Fast and Furious quite embarrassing, largely because of Vin Diesel. Avatar is one of the most boring films I have ever seen. They're 2 of the biggest franchises in the world.

Agree - TH has never made a bad movie in my opinion.

Agreed, and a couple of the questions put to him seemed to be setting him up for a fall.

"What's been your favourite moment this season?"

He doesn't fucking know! He's one of the most famous people in the world, and while I have no doubt he does keep an eye on our results and watch us on TV if we happen to be on and he's free, I don't imagine him taking ten-minute filming breaks to watch Pitchside on AVTV.

He's a casual fan. And having Tom Hanks as a casual fan is pretty fucking okay with me.

Sophy Ridge? I certainly hope so. https://twitter.com/SophyRidgeSky/status/1790489308601688378

Loved a bit of Sophy on Sunday.

That's a shame, just seemed a bit of a random tweet by a political journalist. Maybe her hubby's a Villan, or she wants an interview with Prince Will.

Jack Woodward was Wensday too but he still likes us (mind you we did pay him £50k a year or whatever for a decade).
