Colin Hanks Keeps The Most Boring Secrets

thumbnail icon: Colin Hanks Keeps The Most Boring Secrets

Apparently Colin Hanks is directing a documentary. Fair enough. So, what's his documentary about? Oh, it's a secret? How intriguing! It's probably about something really interesting. OOOOH WHAT COULD IT BE? Well, you no longer have to poop inside your pants because MTV Movies Blog has the EXCLUSIVE scoop:

He's been hinting at it for months, but in every interview he's done on the topic, Colin Hanks has refused to divulge the super-secret topic for his upcoming documentary.

Until now.

"I'm now able to say that it will be a documentary about the rise and fall of Tower Records which was started in 1960 in my hometown of Sacramento California," the famous scion told MTV News.

Um, it's a documentary about Tower Records? What's his second documentary going to be about? A riveting account of how the 12 people who saw his Tower Records documentary died of boredom? I don't even want to watch a 30-second YouTube video of Tower Records falling off a trampoline. Also, whoops, Colin Hanks, someone already made your documentary and it's the worst thing ever. Can't you get your dad to pull some strings and get you some better ideas.

I saw that documentary already. There was a suicidal girl with a bald head and liv tyler running around in a tartan skirt and blue sweater.

Colin contacted me about this the other day. I told him the story of how back in '95 I went into a Tower Records, ambled around a bit, flipped through a Q magazine for a couple of minutes and then walked out. It's really the centerpiece of the movie.

He makes me think I'm (comparatively) onto something with my idea to make a documentary about the local waste water treatment plant.

I dunno Gabe, usually i agree with your posts but i think a clip of tower records falling off a trampoline would be pretty fun to see, especially if it landed on colin hanks

Tower Records was and is an important company in history. Just because you battlestar galactica loving douche bags don't agree doesn't mean you need to attack some one personally. Especially since you don't do anything with your time but criticize other people. And yes I realize I am commenting on this so yes it means I have no life too, at least I admit it. Get on with your lives and get outside fresh air and sunlight is good for you

Yeah, what IS up with people commenting about stuff on the internet? It's like, almost useless.

If it's 80 minutes of a still camera on Colin's face as he talks, I'll watch it. I feel so calm gazing into those eyes...
