'Origin'
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.
I wouldn't want to share a cab with him, or go on the run from the law (grossly misunderstood hero that he plays) with him either. I tried watching bits of the 'good" Mission Impossibles, and I still want to smack him. Never mind Knight and Day, condescending bullshit.
If he decides to act at any point (and Rock of Ages really doesn't count) instead of appearing in opuses (opi?) crafted to sing his legend unto (that's how God talks) the heavens, maybe. But then again, Magnoliwhatever.

*hugs Magnolia*
You may have my portion of it, in whatever intangible way that might work out.
I'm with ita on Tom Cruise. Magnolia was the only movie I found him bearable because he character's persona was a overblown parody of the persona he seem to love so much.
I've hated Cruise ever since Born on the Fourth of July was required viewing for a college film class.
man. did your film instructor hate you?
It was in wide release at the time. He was big on seeing things in the theater.
At the time, I liked that one very much. But now I know a subtle performance doesn't mean, like, sweating and chapped lips. And all respect to my soul brother, Mr. Kovic, but really? I get that you were a young idealist when you went to war, but you weren't *twelve*? You know? I hate to tell him but there's no Easter Bunny, either.
The only film I watch with Tom Cruise in it is Interview With the Vampire, and his personality baggage doesn't really come across in that one. I still want a remake with someone else as Lestat, tho'. (Tom Hardy is my current dreamcast pick.)
