For the Tom Cruise fans out there...
For all you ladies (and gents) who love you some Tom Cruise, but think he went a little crazy with the scientology thing and the jumping on Oprah's couch and the abusing reporters, apparently his son is doing a Red Dawn remake.

There don't appear to be many on here between 5 and 6 a.m.
Re: For the Tom Cruise fans out there...
I heard about the Red Dawn remake a few days ago, but I didn't realize it involved Cruise the younger. I'm not sure how I feel about this one...I love the original, and I don't quite understand how they'll make it translate to a post-Cold War audience (my bet is on some kind of terrorism-related plot...yeccch ). I'll probably spend my ticket money on a copy of the original on DVD.bjornolf wrote:For all you ladies (and gents) who love you some Tom Cruise, but think he went a little crazy with the scientology thing and the jumping on Oprah's couch and the abusing reporters, apparently his son is doing a Red Dawn remake.

Tom Cruise's son is cute. And I mean that in an 'I could be his mother' kind of way.

Hmmm. I can't possibly see how they could improve upon the original. I'm calling shenanigans on this one.

Re: For the Tom Cruise fans out there...
He used to be my wife's favorite actor. She loved him up through Minority Report. She hated Vanilla Sky and Eyes Wide Shut and the second and third Mission Impossible movies. She hasn't seen Valkyrie yet, but I doubt it's her kind of movie. She's hoping that his career recovers, but she's not holding her breath.DukeUsul wrote:Are there any Tom Cruise fans anymore?

Re: For the Tom Cruise fans out there...
I hated Vanilla Sky - I was glad we went on free tickets. Consensus of those around us - we either wanted our time back or wished we had imbibed more spirits before/during the movie. It was the first time I can remember wanting someone on the edge of a building to jump.bjornolf wrote:He used to be my wife's favorite actor. She loved him up through Minority Report.

Re: For the Tom Cruise fans out there...
I really enjoyed Top Gun. That's about as close as I get to a Tom Cruise fan.
Oh, and I like Tom Hanks. They both have the same first name! (Heck yeah, Toy Story 3 next year!)

I can't stand him anymore. He was good in Tropic Thunder, but as a celebrity, I can't stand him.DukeUsul wrote:Are there any Tom Cruise fans anymore?

Re: For the Tom Cruise fans out there...
I liked him in Top Gun, Days of Thunder (I was young), Far and Away, Taps, The Outsiders, The Color of Money, Risky Business, Cocktail, A Few Good Men, Jerry Maguire, Collateral, Mission Impossible I, Minority Report, and The Last Samurai. I do agree that he was GREAT in Tropic Thunder. Best part of the movie in my opinion. I didn't realize I liked so many of his movies before i started listing them. ;)
And I didn't say I liked him as a celebrity. I just think he was good in many of his movies.

Re: For the Tom Cruise fans out there...
I liked Tom Cruise in Top Gun and Rainman.
However, Tom Cruise has never done "it" for me. My gaydar beeps when I see him. I don't care how much litigation he's engaged in to convince himself and the world that he's not gay, my gaydar tells me that he is gay. And I'm okay with his being gay. I wish that Tom Cruise could accept and embrace it, too.
So, ever since the very public pregnancy and wedding to Katie Holmes--actually since the very public breakup with Nicole Kidman--I've been "done" with Tom Cruise.

Re: For the Tom Cruise fans out there...
I agree, but my wife says I'm full of it. She's always liked him, though she's lost a lot of her "doing it for her" factor since about Magnolia. Now I think she's a little creeped out by him.CathyCA wrote:I liked Tom Cruise in Top Gun and Rainman.

Re: For the Tom Cruise fans out there...
My gaydar is extremely faulty. It doesn't beep all that often and when it does, it's sometimes wrong. I don't, however, believe it for a second when someone tells me George is gay. Cathy, am I right?

Speaking of George, check out the thread I just started.Bostondevil wrote:My gaydar is extremely faulty. It doesn't beep all that often and when it does, it's sometimes wrong. I don't, however, believe it for a second when someone tells me George is gay. Cathy, am I right?
PS- Did I ever tell you my mom babysat him and some of his siblings when she was a teenager? ;)
Speaking of Clooney, what's up with THIS picture?
That's probably about how my mom saw him fifty years or so ago.

George Clooney is as straight as the day is long.
