Tom Hanks, while a superb actor, like many superb athletes and other entertainers, is still kind of an idiot. He did not need a lot of method acting in “Forest Gump”. I watched this moronic skit and can call it: Skit for Brains.

Screen shot “True Grit” (1969) with John Wayne & Kim Darby. Rooster Cogburn offers Mattie Ross a drink of aged whiskey and she replies, “I would not put a thief in my mouth to steal my brains.”
