Uh, that was Cameron Diaz (the "Fuck Buddy") who stalked Tom in Vanilla Sky...

Shit yes, you're right. I talk about people being to fcking
thick to get the plot, and yet I can't even get the name of
one of the actors right! haha. I'm such a monkey.

AzureStar said:

Neither can I, and guess what? Tom's my "perfect celebrity match". Yep... I score 99 %.

I haven't watched "Abre Los Ojos" yet, but I have heard it was better than "Vanilla Sky".

Anyone is better looking than Tom.

Aerogram said:

where can I find that test? I'd like to see who my
celebrity match would be.

MrBliss said:

He is just horrible... YUCK!

Aerogram said:

Poor you... I would have thought it would have been someone like Sam Elliot.

I haven't seen the movie yet... bad bad me.

But I agree with you Azure... Tom makes me ill too!

Diva said:

It is nice to see that I am not the only person on this earth that is sickened by this man! This makes me happy!

AzureStar said:

hehe yeah!

Rest assured, you are definitely not alone there...

Goddamnit, Tom Cruise is the greatest actor of all time!!!

teller said:

And Interview with the Vampire is the most PERFECT movie! I was skeptical at first, but Cruise was fucking awesome!!!

teller said:

Ugh... stop it!

That was a good movie and yes, he did do a fine job in that movie, I will give him that. Maybe that's because everything wasn't always focused on him.

Now stop!

Tom Cruise OOZES sex appeal!

Okay, I saw Vanilla Sky, and my problem with it was I thought it pandered waaayyy too much to the dumb fucks in the audience. I really hated that damned "Basil Exposition" style character who showed up at the end to explain the movie for all the twits who were too dim to follow a complex plot. What gets me is how many people STILL couldn't figure out what was going on after THE WHOLE FRIGGIN THING WAS EXPLAINED TO THEM!!! It really ruined an otherwise excellent film for me.

As for Tom Cruise, I feel he is neither as great an actor as his fans think, nor as bad as his detractors believe him to be. As far as sheer ability, he is a competent actor. When he has good material, and a good director, he can really shine (see Interview With The Vampire, Magnolia), but if he doesn't, then his performaces are mediocre at best (see Top Gun, Far And Away). The problem is that he is frequently put into roles because of his looks, or his star power, and not on his appropriateness in playing the part. This is quite often the case in Hollywood, which is far more concerned with making $ than it is with making a decent film.

...what a piece of shit.

I like Tom Cruise. I have enjoyed his performances for the most part. The only time I didn't like him is early in his career with movies like Top Gun, Days of Thunder, and Cocktail (although Risky Business rocked!). He was a pompass ass in all those flicks.

However ever since he was in Interview With A Vampire (which he nailed), I think his movies and performances have been very good. He makes different flicks...and tries to stretch his talent. I admire that. Since Jerry Maguire I have liked every one of his movies since (even Eyes Wide Shut...but mainly for Kidmans performance rather than Cruises). Also he's had Nicole Kidman AND Penelope Cruz...fuckin LUCKY guy.

It's funny how people just HATE the guy...I have never been able to figure that out. People either like or HATE him (same as another performer we know).

As for Minority Report...2 thumbs up.

Sam Elliott!

Personally, I like the movie...

I can't believe you broke down and are watching
a TC movie...

Tom does nothing for me, never has.

Tom Cruise for President in 2004!!!

JediMaster said:

I loved when Tom screamed for Tech Support... "TECH SUPPOOORT!" at the end.

And, I have found many people who still didn't understand the movie either... which puzzled me. Like you said, it was explained at the end!

Believe me, I hated to do it... but I had heard it was a good movie and gave in.

Again, people would be justified in calling the president dumb.

AzureStar said:

He's old enough to be my daddy.

Not my type though...

Aerogram said:

No, he is not your type as, ugh... Tom Cruise is.

*shudder*

teller said:

Count me in. I have nothing against Cruise per se, but he always came across to me as being pretty darn BLAND.
