Tom Cruise is a great actor and on top of that hes a man with class beyond many of your understanding. Tom Cruise is a huge movie star, for him to lash out physically on a guy cuz hes a badass is f'ucking idiotic. the ones here who said hes a pansy are morons that probably know nothing of the world but "not taking shit".
You want an example? look at Russel Crowe from "A beautiful mind" or "Cinderella Man". he got pissed cuz some hotel dude wouldn't let him use a damn phone - the hotel costs like $5,000 a night. yeah he was no pansy and threw a phone at him and faces battery charges that could put him behind bars for 5+ years.
Not to mention that would ruin Cruises image and in his business, character matters a lot. ppl need to get off the sweat on his balls and find somethin else to do. end of story
i dont know why people say cruise isnt a good actor or hasnt had many good films
the color of money
rain man
born of the 4th of july
a few good men
collateral
not to mention
the last samurai
vanilla sky
jerry maguire
interview with a vampire
the firm
days of thunder
eyes wide shut
he has been picked to be in films by directors such as francis ford coppola and stanley kubrick and these great directors dont tend to pick rubbish actors for lead rolls
he was put into the same "sex symbol" catagory that brad pitt was put into who is probably an even better actor than cruise and has managed for the most part to actually now be seen as a respectable actor...where as cruise hasn't
to answer the question, yes it is 'cool' to hate tom cruise.
its 'cool' to have any opinion that fits the mainstream, but has no real bearing on anything. like i said jokingly in another post, he does come off as the annoying arrogant spoiled yuppie type...as a person. but thats none of my concern. many great actors are a$$holes. sean connery is a proudly proclaimed woman beater....does that make him suck? yes. does that make his acting and the movies he plays in suck? hell no.

please dont being up sean connery...i must be the only Scot in the world that thinks he is f*ckin rubbish
its been 9 years since he played a good role...as John Mason in the rock which was a crap film
and its been 15 years since he was in a good film...the hunt for red october
post bond years the only things of note were the last crusade...the highlander and the untouchables
and apart from the bonds the only other films of note are the time bandits, the longest day and a bridge to far
now he is doing the voice of bond in the game of "from russia with love" according to IMDB...mmm

Cruise Clashes With Lauer on 'Today' Show
Associated Press/AP Online — Jun 24, 8:06 PM
In this photo released by NBC, feature film star Tom Cruise, right, gestures toward talk show co-host Matt Lauer during the telecast of NBCs Today Show, Friday, June 24, 2005. The interview became more heated when Lauer began discussing anti-depressants and Scientology. (AP Photo/NBC, Virginia Sherwood) NEW YORK - Tom Cruise criticized NBC "Today" show host Matt Lauer on Friday when Lauer mentioned Cruise's earlier criticism of Brooke Shields for taking anti-depressants. Cruise told Lauer he didn't know what he was talking about. "You don't know the history of psychiatry. I do," Cruise said.
The interview became more heated when Lauer, who said he knew people who had been helped by the attention-deficit disorder drug Ritalin, asked Cruise about the effects of the drug.
"Matt, Matt, you don't even - you're glib," Cruise responded. "You don't even know what Ritalin is. If you start talking about chemical imbalance, you have to evaluate and read the research papers on how they came up with these theories, Matt, OK. That's what I've done."
When asked if he could be with someone at this stage in his life who doesn't have an interest in the Church of Scientology - girlfriend Katie Holmes has said she's embracing the religion - Cruise told Lauer: "Scientology is something that you don't understand. It's like you could be a Christian and be a Scientologist."
"It is a religion. Because it's dealing with the spirit. You as a spiritual being. It gives you tools you can use to apply to your life."
Cruise, 42, and Holmes, 26, went public with their romance in April, smooching and posing for photographers in Rome. They recently became engaged.
Many have doubted the romance. The words "publicity stunt" have rained down on the couple like an alien invasion as Cruise has been busy promoting his new film, "War of the Worlds," directed by Steven Spielberg, which opens on June 29.
"You know what? There's always cynics. There always has been. There always will be," said Cruise, who hasn't been shy about displaying his affection for "Batman Begins" actress Holmes. "I have never worried ... about what other people think and what other people say."
"I have to tell you. It's just a great time in my life," Cruise said. "I'm really happy. And, you know, I'm engaged. I'm going to be married. I can't restrain myself."
The actor, whose marriages to Mimi Rogers and Nicole Kidman ended in divorce, declined to say what Holmes has brought to his life that wasn't there in the past.
"I don't want to compare things," Cruise said. "It's that thing where you just - in life when it just happens. ... You meet someone. And it's - I can't even describe it."
