a little tom cruise goes a long way

the only thing good about this thread is the title, which i think is brilliant--though by accident or not, i'm not sure.

as far as cruise being a good actor, i can't agree with you there, though i thought collateral was great and he did a fine job. i can't think of many cruise movies that i like, but war of the worlds is looking promising.

[QUOTE=spacemonkey1888]yea know i always liked tom cruise, thought he was a really cool actor, loved risky business, top gun and collateral i thought was his best roll, i dont even notice its him when watching it. but after watching a few interviews with him, hes jsut a wierd person. im not one to put people down on religion or ethnicity, but hes a scientologist and it just bothers me, hes jsut an idiot in real life. but this is funny, i mean it was wrong of this comedian an acceptable on cruises part to follow up....enjoy!

Scientologist, let's not be mixing up our cults now. Scientologists believe in aliens.

of course

[QUOTE=Wesley Sonck]i like tom cruise[/QUOTE]
I like many of the movies he's done and some of his performances, but in real life (TV's and Interviews constitue "reality" from here on), it seems to me, he's hiding from an awful lot os personal baggage behind acting and Scientology.

oh yeah, minority report and vanilla sky were both goodish.

scientology was created based on a short story written by kurt vonnegut.

Which short would that be?

He does, though he's a bit off of late. It's hurting him publicly with the recent Scientology pushing and the love fest and what not.

[QUOTE=Parkaboy]Which short would that be?[/QUOTE]
ill find out for you.

You should check with L. Ron Hubbard's ghost, he might know.

At least not to the Cult, and not as the cassun as we know him now.

[QUOTE=spacemonkey1888]well thanks for the compliment on the title.it was not an accident. i jsut like him as an actor. as a human being...bleh.

do they really?

of course[/QUOTE]In the higher ranks of the Scientology Church, they recieve the truth that we on Earth were seeded by space beings to whose brotherhood we are supposed to eventually return. This is what I've read and seen from investigative journalists and researchers.

[QUOTE=FuzzBusta]At least not to the Cult, and not as the cassun as we know him now.[/QUOTE]
Shounen Bat will knoch the Scientology right out of him.

Damn straight.

Moromi!

[QUOTE=Parkaboy]Moromi![/QUOTE]

The combined forces of Moromi and Lil'Slugger might be too much for some people, even cassun.

Although, maybe we can use that to defeat those crazy scientologists.......

On a side note, an old friend I see once in a while is a volunteer minister in the CoS. For as intelligent as the kid is, when it comes to the scientology crap, I seriously want to slap him when he runs off into some explanation. I've never heard him go off into the aliens business, but his little "I research the right explanation" stuff just gets boring fast.

The whole auditing business sounds like a subversive mental mindfuck. He wanted me to come take their "test" (which is really a mild auditing session) to see if I had the smarts to become one. Thankfully I never did. Oh and those world-wide "state of the world" broadcasts they have at their churches just scream of acceptable cult.

the recent water squirting incident was pretty funny
cruise owned that guy though

I saw this on IMDb, thought it was great.

In this article it says after Johansson he also tried Jessica Alba, Kate Bosworth, and Lindsay Lohan before Katie fell for it.

LOL++

I didn't know Kurt Vonnegut was involved (if indirectly) in the creation of Scientology. I have it on good authority that L. Ron just entered into a drunken bet with some writer friends as to whether or not he could create his own religion.

BTW, Scientology is about how the evil space-lord Xemu gathered up the excess population in the galaxy on earth and killed them by dropping A-bombs into volcanos, and years later our bodies are haunted by dead alien ghosts, and that's why we're so screwed up, and psychiatry is evil, but you'll need to pay hundreds of thousands of dollars to learn this otherwise the knowledge could totally kill you.

[size=1]War of the Worlds - Doubt it.
Collateral - Good.
The Last Samurai - okay movie but not that good a job of acting
Minority Report - Liked it, he played well
Vanilla Sky - meh
Mission: Impossible II - sucked
Magnolia - liked the movie, pretty crappy performance
Eyes Wide Shut - Sort of liked it, he did okay
Jerry Maguire - okay
Mission: Impossible - bleh
Interview with the Vampire: The Vampire Chronicles - Did well
The Firm - ...
A Few Good Men - Did okay
Days of Thunder - Did okay
Rain Man - good
Cocktail - fit the part, did a good job
Top Gun - Liked it, acting was sufficient
Risky Business - I liked this movie, he did good[/size]

No no no, Scientology is the weird celebrity religion with the aliens. Christian Science is the one that believes no one ever really dies and you can't go to the doctor and stuff.

Just to clarify for everyone, Kurt Vonnegut had nothing to do with Scientology and probably considers them all dipshits.

So it goes.

yea i know what christian science is, but i always thought scientology was the same way.

[/QUOTE]as an actor he ain't no human being.

good point

to clarify: kurt vonnegut wrote science fiction stories that poked fun at things in a dark and subtle way. some idjit roommate of his in college (l ron hubbard) read one of his stories and mistook it as a sign from something and created a religion out of it. i'm going to try and hunt down the story for ya, it'll just take me some time because its not on the top of my priorety list.

Man, I never heard of that. I would've thought Vonnegut might have mentioned it in one of his self-refferential passages since it's a very good example of humans being very very stupid.

Anyhow, Kurt is an athiest and a cynic and no doubts thinks Ron Hubbard was nuts.

definitely.

All I could find was some claims that a bigraphy of Vonnegut, maybe his own autobiograpghy books, menations Hubbard's alleged quote that, "The best way to get rich is to start a new religion/cult."
