Is Tom Cruise destroying his career with this Scientology crap? For the past 25 years the world has had a favorable opinion of Cruise, but not anymore. Now we realize that he is a complete "wacko". Now we know why Nicole Kidman left him. Now we know just how insane Scientology really is. I am not going to see, "War of the Worlds". I am going to see "Batman Begins" again. mad

i hope so..

The press used to make alot of money by loving Tom Cruise, now they can make money tearing him down. It's the american way. He is no more or less wacko than any other celebrity.

Really? She told you? That's amazing! You have an excellent career as an entertainment journalist. By making such a general assumption one could also say that Cruise left Kidman because she was a no talent, career leeching ice queen.

Was there any question as to the insanity that is Scientology?

You are not going to see a movie because you think that cruise is losing it? WOW, what a stand you are taking! You're a veritable Ghandi!


I'm not a huge cruise fan, he's made some really good movies, and some kinda crappy ones. But this whole media tear down of the guy and the sheep who have jumped the band wagon are a joke. If it makes you feel cool to jump on a trend of disliking an actor, whether you are aware that you are following the trend or not, that would make you pathetic.

its so hip to hate tom cruise.

so many celebrities are such scumbags but lets pick on tom cruise just because he's full of himself. lets beg the media to spend so much time covering an aging pretty boy's warped opinion, because thats what really matters in this world.

you know there's a war going on?

Actually, the war is over. George Bush himself declared, "MISSION ACCOMPLISHED." wink

I sense the start of another anti Bush thread being opened up by PVS...

yah, hate the guy, never understood why ppl find him good looking, and brad pitt too.

mr.smiley
I realy don't understand what all the bashing is about.So what if he follows a different religon.

MC Mike
I bet most religious people spend more time thinking about celebrities than their god(s) or iconic symbol(s).

Leave the ****ers alone.

until he makes a superb scientology based film that was as magnificent and superb as battlefield earth...then i think his career wont hit its true peak

roll on battlefield earth 2 starring mr cruise as a giant alien....now that will push the boundaries of special effects to achieve that

We found out Cruise's true colors when the incident happened....
He could have laughed too, he could have said politely: "Please don't do that anymore, all right?"

But no, he wanted to heckle the practical joker.

Jeez, dude....get a f--king sense of humor.

Morning_Glory
he destroying his career more with this Katie Holmes stuff... it's so fake

I thought Tom Cruise acted good... I would have been swinging arms at the guy...

Seeing as how apparently War of the World's is the largest opening for a film with Tom Cruise, is seems its not hurting his career to much. Still, I don't mind if he has a religion. But then I don't care about actors real lives, as long as he doesn't knock on my door one day asking me to join I'm fine with it all.

whirlysplat
Nicole left Tom cause he was a Jaffa. I think its best to not know much about any celeb as most are arses. I have enjoyed many of Cruises films though. And Katies Holmes big grin Good Choice, as she has fancied him since she was a little girl, he should be in for some corrupt inappropriate behaviour, the type of action all guys dream of. hmmmmmmmmm holmes plays dress up. The video should be better than the Anderson - Tommy Lee legend!!!!
Scientology, tosh, but we knew that, its much more dangerous for the poor who work as slaves etc. L Ron Hubbard was such a crook big grin

No one would give a shit if the media would get over it.

Top Gun destroyed his career, might aswell have just gone all out and done gay porn

Hey Top Gun happens to be one of my fav movies! now Top Gun is something that I just love to watch, those planes and all, I love it, I tihnk its a great movie, Top playes good, the plot is also good, I dont know I just cant really put my finger on that special something that Top Gun has, its just so very good, also about Tom's personal life, I see no reason why everybody is hating him, those things you say about him dont give you the right to hate him

Quite an intelligent well thought out argument you put out there. Apparently you missed the line where I said, "I'm not a huge cruise fan, he's made some really good movies, and some kinda crappy ones."

And you want to cut the head off of a smilie because you don't like my post? Intriguing retort.
no expression

Top Gun was nothing more than The Fast and the Furious of it's time.

In my opinion.

Loads of (THEN) "cool" actors, a (THEN) hot chick, large machines that make the men driving them look supposedly powerful, near enough without a story.

-AC

Lord_Andres
How can you even consider that? this is the real thing, Top Gun that thing acturly exsists, and the movie dosent have have the crap directing and actors as those new movies, also I love the music in this movie, specialy the Top Gun Anthem, very good playing by who ever it is, Steven something I think, also what you said is stupit its like saying, The old Batman from the 80's with Jack Nicholson is just as bad as Spiderman or what be it of todays super hero movies, guys wearing masks, and fighting the badass villian and some lady that hangs around them.

Alpha Centauri
The difference between Batman and Top Gun is that one had great actors, a great story and a great director. It's a great movie.

Top Gun is famous and a fairly legendary movie but not for the reasons that a movie should be legendary.

Top Gun exists, big deal. So does street racing. Doesn't make shit movies about vehicles going vroom vroom, any more exciting.

Lord_Andres
But thats jetfighters! F-14 Tomcats, one of the coolest machines ever created! its just so beautiful to see them fly and all, Top Gun is a very good movie, its hugely entertaining and has good directing, acting, and what be it

Captain REX
I know, let's pick on Tom Cruise! Oh what fun we'll have...

I have been hearing these jokes and comments about Tom Cruise being gay for a while and I never got it and I still don't get it.

Can someone please explain to me what Tom Cruise did to make people jump to this assumption.

Let me state that I am not against or for Tom Cruise, he is who he is. I don't really know him like that, and I haven't seen many of his movies either so I can't really say anything about him in that way. I am just asking a question here.

powerfulone1987
To jump on Tom Cruise for his religion and for his relationship with Katie Holmes is ridiculous.
Don't some of yall have a religion?

Haven't some of yall been in a relationship or are in one?

Well Tom Cruise is doing the same thing so what's so wrong about him doing it?

Is it because he's a top star with a lot of money and it's so easy to criticize that kind of person?

Yall should criticize yourselves because Tom Cruise is not the one talking about yalls religion and relationship(s), yall are the ones doing that.

ragesRemorse
Tom cruise's career will be just fine. Personally, i dont like the guy. He is a good actor and all, but there is somthing about him that doesnt mesh well with me. As for that whole scientology crap. the only people that care about that, is the media, and the people who hear his interview taken out of context. Dudes, got a belief...let him believe it.

manny321
Well Toms new movie is doing very well. Its doing very well and will be his biggest movie.

ragesRemorse
i highly doubt it will do better than MI2.

jaden101
you cant knock top gun...it made some of the gags in hotshots possible...and hotshots was classic

Captain REX
Meh...what's Scientology anyway?

ragesRemorse
it is a belief structure that a science fiction writer created.

i cannot confirm or deny my like or dislike for the above mentioned film as doing so may compromise national security

Mr Parker
Yep he sure is.I never liked Cruise in the beginning because I always thought he was overrated as an actor but I know people that dont like him now because of his involvement in this.
