A Career Resurrection???

Filed under: Film Flickers > Tom Cruise

Is it cool to like him again???

On Tuesday night, Tom cruise attended an industry screening of Tropic Thunder from Paramount Pictures and DreamWorks.

In the film, he portrays a “bald, hairy-chested, foulmouthed, dirty-dancing movie mogul of the kind who is only too happy to throw an actor to the wolves when his popularity cools.”

He may have a little experience with that! Wink wink.

In a self-referential move, Cruise was mocking his 2006 dismissal by Viacom chairman Sumner Redstone from his Paramount production deal.

Tommy Boy's role was very well received at the screening. And the irony of him now being in a Paramount film was not lost on the audience.

Cruise needs for this to be a hit.

Y'all remember his last film, Lions for Lambs????

Yeah, FLOP!

      No, it's not "cool to like him anymore," any more than it's cool to like cults, control freaks, and assholes near and/or at large. Tom Cruise is dickhead incarnate. Fuck his career. Get him to a shrink ASAP.

      Yeah! I love Tom Cruise. He's right up there with how much I love: Cults; Assholes; Nazis; Anal Rape; and all things Hitler. Yeah, Tommy Girl's a fucking prince.

      Katie's anal prep for sex with Tom is what keeps her so thin. It makes her vomit up everything she's eaten for months.

      125

      He's in cult notorious for sucking in rich gullible people and promoting intolerance and taking sick people off their medications.
      he married a girl who's young enough to be his daughter
      He is clearly unstable.

      I have a sneaking suspicion he is also a douche.
      So, along with Mel Gibson, I will not pay money to watch his shit.
      If I want to, I'll download it, and then share it with my friends. L O L

      128

      It's not self-referential because he's paying out someone who fired him - where's the humour in that? But ok, confession time, I still kind of think TC is cool - in a "he believes in a "religion" that I wouldn't trust as far as I could throw it and hence he's kind of lost it" kind of way.

      Sherry Says: Tommy boy needs to play another role besides the cool, action hero with no sense of humor (snickering in irony is not the same thing). He needs to show an ugly or vulnerable side and break the typecasting. Let's see if he can actually act. THEN yes he may be cool again and you have my permission to like him.

      Yes, yes, YES! What I'd love to see Tom Cruise do is play a character with perfection issues, something like The Truman Show, or a mid-life crisis like Rock Hudson in Seconds. Those are just ideas, but Tom should look at those kind of scripts and never make another action film again.

      Christine says: The ONLY way he could ever resurrect his career would be to publicly denounce scientology, admit to what a collosal douchebag he's been and rejoin the human race. I think we have a better chance of him coming out of the closet. WHAT A POMPOUS CREEPY LOSER!

      Yeah, or that.

      Who cares??? I will never go see another one of this freak's movies - by doing so I am supporting the fanatical celebrity cult of Scientology. People don't like Tom OR Katie anymore - both their recent films were bombs from hell.

      The only way this Xenu-worshiping cult member's career will be resurrected is if you allow yourself to be used by him and his cult by publicizing him/his movies and if we waste our money by seeing his movies. DON'T DO IT! BOYCOTT ALL CULT MEMBERS!

    39. ss794 says – reply to this


      139

      HE SHOULD BE BOYCOTTED!! He promotes a false religion that disconnects families, physically, mentally, and sexually abuses people, and forces abortions. Oh yeah, and hunts down people who disagree with them.

      I will never pay to see another Tom Cruise movie ever again. This guy is a total whack job, and I will not be part of the problem by supporting him financially. I am so sick of anti-social and piggish behavior being rewarded in the celebrity world. I will no longer be a part of it. Screw this whack job.

      Tom Cruise saves potentially millions of children and adults from going on harmful psychiatric drugs.
      .
      He's a hero in my book so I don't give a shit what anyone says about him.
      .
      And for anyone who still thinks that psychiatric drugs are good, DO SOME RESEARCH! ADHD drugs given to kids are similar in chemical composition to SPEED. Would you give SPEED to a child? That's what our trusted "doctors" are doing. And placebos work better than anti-depressants but don't have the side-effects of suicidal and homicidal thoughts. Along with just minor things like seizures and death, etc, etc..
      .
      Wake up people. He saved millions from these drugs.
      .
      He's a hero for risking everything to speak up and is attacked for his effort.

      143

      #144 - HERO IN MY BOOK:

      The drug issue is so minor compared to the other things against Cruise. He supports a religion who abuses people physically, emotionally, and sexually. I've read/heard accounts of those who have been sexually abused and they are told by the leaders that it is their own fault. There are countless witnesses to these abuses. Also, Co$ elevates celebrities and makes them think that they are better than the rest of us. Let's not forget the countless people scientology has driven to suicide or have killed.

      144

      he'll NEVER be a turn on again and it's still not ok to like him or his robot family so don't stick up 4 him!

    45. HERO IN MY BOOK says – reply to this


      145

      Re: ss794 – So the death of children is a "minor" issue. Putting children on chemicals identical to SPEED is in your words "minor". The side effects of anti-depressants being being possible death, suicidal and homicidal thoughts and actions "minor".
      .
      .
      First off pal, maybe you should consider not believing everything you read. You sound like a paranoid conspiracy nutjob. Do you really think Tom Cruise is out killing people and sexually abusing people and tearing families apart. Fucking idiot.

      Tom Cruise is one hell of an actor. I feel sorry for celebrities because they have NO privacy. Who cares what he does with his personal live, because that is what it is PERSONAL…… He is a fantastic actor, and I will always be a Tom Cruise fan………. I don't care what the tabloids say, 98% of it is falsified and is no ones business anyway !!!!!!!!!!

      He is absolutely hilarious in this film, and clearly everyone remembers Jerry Maguire so with that being said Tom deserves the respect and credit as one of the most engaging actors of our time. HIs film Valkyrie will once again show the world just how great he is as he continues to silence his doubters over and over again.

      TomTom is totally scary. I think most normal, sane, thinking individuals feel that way. There is no doubt in my mind the positive comments logged on here are from individuals suscribing to this wack jobs religous intolorances. There is nothing remotely attractive about this man. The only innocent party is the little girl. Remember darling Katie sold herself to and is staying on with this creep.
