Tom Cruise .... HUH?

I've been sitting here for more than an hour and getting more and more upset as I go on. Initially I couldn't think about what to write in my first actual Blog post. Should I make it funny? maybe it should be socially relevant?? or how about making it about something that bugs me??? YEP, that's it, Tom Cruise and his recent antics, they REALLY bug me.


Let's get this straight, I'm not big fan of Tom Cruise(TC for short), I don't think he's a very good actor, although he did suprise in The Last Samarai, and sometimes I wonder how he made it as an actor. Sure he's got a few things going for him. He's good looking(that always helps), he's got lots of Charisma(or is that the "I'm fantastic look at me" thing?), and he can memorize lines and take direction. What I think he lacks is an ability to go beyond his rolaes and try to improve his ability. Denzel Washington, Russell Crowe, and Leonardo DeCaprio(among others) have the ability to tranform themselves, bringing them rolls and accolades that TC may never earn. It's good to know that TC has the ability to read, but that's the next paragraph:)


So have we seen enough of Tom Cruise lately? Between the impending release of War of the Worlds in which he stars, the Oprah brain fart, the Today show fiasco, and the Katie Holmes thing(related to the Oprah thing) he has been all over the entertainment news recently. The Oprah show thing is kind of interesting http://waxy.org/random/video/Tom_Cruise_Kills_Oprah.mov , maybe not THAT interesting but silly none the less. Tom Expressed his love for Katie and was seen jumping on the couch explaining that he just can't control himself. I see it as more of a marketing/promotion thing for both TC and KH. You see that any publicity is good, and with both KH and TC having new releases on the market, Tom with War and Katie with Batman, you'll understand the reason for all of this. Now the TODAY SHOW interview was funny http://msnbc.msn.com/id/8343367/ , it was also quite absurd. You see that Tom is into a religion/cult called Scientology and has been pushing it pretty heavily recently, going even so far as having a booth on set while filming his movies. I won't try to explain Scientology, but suffice to say it's pretty much a list of do's and don'ts that is supposed to help you with your life. If that were true though why would KH give up all of her friends and be seen with a Scientology advisor on a regular basis lately? Tom also seems to be trying to debunk Physciatry lately, explaining that he has read up on things and knows more than Matt Lauer, and that Broooke Shields was wrong for taking drugs for post partum depression. Going so far as to say Brooke could have taken Vitamins or done exercises to deal with the depression ..... OK!! you go Tom!


We'll end this by saying ...Katie Holmes said that when she was young her dream guy was Tom Cruise. What would you do to be with your dream guy or girl?? even if they are CRAZZZY!
