I went to go see it yesterday night and was pleasantly surprised, as were all my friends. It was well done and low on the cheese factor. I almost even forgot it was Tom Cruise.

In my opinion, Cruise might be a nut job but he's pretty good at what he does. He might never win an Oscar but he makes for a pretty great regular guy action/suspense hero.

We were going to see Benjamin Button and then found out it was 3 hours long so ended up seeing Valkyrie.  The s/o and I both liked it.

I couldn't get past Tom Cruise to enjoy the movie.  I just got back from seeing it.

I took the advice previously posted and forgot about Cruise and paid attention to the other actors and the story.  It made it more enjoyable.  Plus, some old guy kept the experience entertaining.  He was fighting people to get a seat and when he finally got one..which was at my immediate right..he fell asleep in the first 10 minutes.  I kept having to bump and/or elbow him when the snoring got too loud.   [roll]

Cruise is a good actor, appreciate most of his flicks, more of his older ones verse new ones.....

but....

that guy is a douchebag.

I wish he would leave this little "religion" out of his shit.

Hell, that cost him a HUGE contract with his last production company.


That has nothing to do with what he does for a living.

if you watch his recent interviews, he realizes that he's been somewhat of a zealot and he's toned it down.

oh and he rides ducatis

So does Brad Pitt. He's a better actor and less of a douchebag to boot.

You should remove Vanilla Sky from your list and replace it with Jerry McQuire. Vanilla Sky is easily the worst vanity project this side of Battlefield Earth. The only difference is that I can watch Battlefield Earth repeatedly for the unintentional comedy that it is. Vanilla Sky just sucks ass.

Anyone else want to meet him just to call him "Little Man"? I bet he would hate that. He probably rides Ducatis because he's so short  [cheeky]
If the state had not cut funding for the mental institutions, this project could never have happened.

But he has always spoken so highly of you.

Nah, probably not.

I am sure he thinks I am an asshole, but at least I am taller than him.
