Douglas Coupland Quote
Kaitlin said, I'm so sick of that 'Greatest Generation' crap. We finally drove a silver nail through the heart of Generation X, only to have this new monster rear its head. And I'm soooooo sick of Tom Hanks looking earnest all the time. They should make a Tom Hanks movie where Tom kills off Greatest Generation figureheads one by one.Bree arrived on cue: And then he starts killing other generations. He becomes this supernova of hate--all he wants to do is destroy.Hate clings to him like a rich, lathery shampoo. His lungs secrete it like anthrax foam.Mom lost it. Stop it! All of you! Tom Hanks is a fine actor who would never hurt anybody. At least not onscreen.I thought, 'Hey, didn't Tom Hanks mow down half of Chicago in Road to Perdition?' Well, whatever.
