Me neither. So I guess Norman Bates must be really really really gay. Here I thought the Bates relationship was just borderline incestuous, but nope, it's gay.
If you are unaware of this reality, you are probably better off for it, but it is nevertheless true. |

Who do you think could play Tom Cruise in a biopic? Maybe DiCaprio?
While I ponder that, I'm going to try and track down that video from Fallon.

DiCaprio is only 12 years younger than Cruise So unless it's about Tom Cruise taking down Scientology, he doesn't seem like a good fit.

Re: The Tom Cruise Appreciation Thread
I like Tom Cruise alot. He acted in one of my top 5 favorite movies of all time -- Top Gun. Maverick is still one of the coolest characters to grace the silver screen. His ability to not age somehow is baffling.

Scientology is fucking insane and even worse a scam (since it believers/members? have to pay to learn more about its philosophies), but he seems like a nice guy and he's a great actor. If I ran into him on the street I'd shake his hand and tell him I'm a fan.

Re: The Tom Cruise Appreciation Thread
Three pages in, and no one's mentioned Losin' It, the movie where he plays a 50s high school kid who hooks up with Shelley Long while on a trip to Tijuana?
Losin' It and Last American Virgin (not featuring Cruise) are my two favorite Porky's-inspired teen sex comedies from the 80s. Its got a pretty strong cast. In addition to Cruise and Long, you also have John Stockwell and Jackie Earle Haley, and the only screen appearance of the raunchy piano playing comedian John "Dr. Dirty" Valby. It was directed by Curtis Hanson, later known for The Hand That Rocks the Cradle, Bad Influence, Wonder Boys, and of course L.A. Confidential (the TRUE best picture of 1997 in my book). |

I don't think he's all that great of an actor, but he has surprisingly solid taste in movies to participate in.
I still think him and Ben Stiller as THE HARDY BOYS is a heck of an idea for a movie, and am sad it never happened. |
Re: The Tom Cruise Appreciation Thread
He was on the Daily Show Tuesday. He is extremely guarded while trying to seem relaxed.
He also laughed in a loud & creepy way at EVERYTHING Jon Stewart said. The exact unsettling laugh every time. He doesn't seem like a real person at all, more like an empty vessel with no personality of his own. A very odd bird indeed. |

Re: The Tom Cruise Appreciation Thread
Some other very good performances from him, IMO:
The Color of Money All the Right Moves Rain Man Taps Magnolia |

Re: The Tom Cruise Appreciation Thread
I enjoy his many of his films. Risky Business, Edge of Tomorrow, Collateral, Top Gun, Mission Impossible, and many other.
This guy does a great Tom Cruise impersonation. "Not Tom Cruise" (there's more on his youtube channel). <iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/DMoWGRapxos" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> Not Tom Cruise Vine Page: https://vine.co/u/929515265610354688 |
Re: The Tom Cruise Appreciation Thread
Just caught the latest Mission: Impossible film last night.
Like him or not, Cruise is still getting it done. |
Re: The Tom Cruise Appreciation Thread
He seems to always give his all no matter what it is. Gotta respect that.

Re: The Tom Cruise Appreciation Thread
One of my co-workers used to interview celebs on the entertainment junket circuit and told us a story about one with Tom Cruise. His wife was in the room during the interview, pregnant with their first child. This came up in the interview for some reason, and Cruise stopped the discussion, got up and went over to congratulate her and talk to her for a few minutes about the pregnancy. If you have don't know how these junkets work, they are on a tight tight schedule (like 3-4 minutes per interview sometimes) but Cruise didn't care about that.
Then a few months later, my co-worker talked to him again on a red carpet and the first thing Cruise said was "how is your wife doing?" Stories like that coupled with the fact that I simply enjoy pretty much every single thing he's ever done on film make me a Tom Cruise fan. |
Re: The Tom Cruise Appreciation Thread
If you hate him because of Scientology then you're a fucking moron.
