Tom Cruise is next to South Station, being a douche as usual[views:5345][posts:84]____________________________________ [Oct 15,2009 9:43am - arilliusbm ""] Just saw him as my train was pulling in. They're filming the movie "Day and Night" or something stupid like that. Pretty sure he was wearing sun glasses too. What's with this dude? |
| __________________________________ [Oct 15,2009 9:44am - brian_dc ""] Maybe his contact lens have been irritating him. I know even on gray days I need to wear sunglasses after a bad allergy day. No, obviously he's a raging doucheking. |

| ____________________________________ [Oct 15,2009 9:53am - arilliusbm ""] Best Tom Cruise movie = Top Gun or The Last Samurai. can't decide. I guess I'll toss Eyes Wide Shut in there only because you get to see what's her name n00ked. |
| _________________________________ [Oct 15,2009 9:54am - Martins ""] Best Tom Cruise movie = Worst Tom Cruise movie |
| __________________________________ [Oct 15,2009 9:55am - brian_dc ""] I'm going to say The Last Samurai. Top Gun is easily the best movie to look for thinly veiled gay behavior that went completely unrecognized because it was the 80s. I swear to god, that movie was a love story between Val Kilmer and Tom Cruise. |

| _________________________________ [Oct 15,2009 9:57am - MikeOv ""] days of thunder |
| __________________________________ [Oct 15,2009 9:58am - brian_dc ""] fuck...I loved Days of Thunder when I was a little kid. I need to re-watch for the ghey. |
| ____________________________________________ [Oct 15,2009 10:00am - FuckIsMySignature ""] i had a dream last night that i met Dee Snider. he was a douche too. |
| __________________________________ [Oct 15,2009 10:01am - Martins ""] Magnolia is his best because he basically just plays himself and that movie rules. |

| _____________________________________ [Oct 15,2009 10:03am - arilliusbm ""] Ha, Days of Thunder how could I forget. Grease Lightning is that car in Grease, if my memory serves me right. Lighting, Thunder - close enough. The Last Samarai was indeed a good movie though, even the ending is really the opposite of what happened in real life. What's with all these historical movies that are completely inaccurate? |
| ___________________________________ [Oct 15,2009 10:05am - brian_dc ""] I'm sure it's a publicist or agent saying, "Tom won't do this unless X, Y, and Z happen in the movie. No one knows the real history who will see this in theaters, so if you want asses in the seats you'll do it." Either that or "focus groups"....fucking focus groups. |
| _____________________________________ [Oct 15,2009 10:07am - arilliusbm ""] There hasn't been a good, solid historical/epic movie since Gladiator. Troy, King Arthur, Alexander - those all failed in my book. |

He's fucking nuts. But I gotta go with The Last Samurai. It's a great depiction of Japan's westernization and I think it's underappresh'd |

But since you're a history buff, correct me if I'm wrong - didn't Japan choose to HAVE the treaty? In the movie, the Emperor rejects the treaty after Tom Cruise stumbles in; I thought in reality Japan actually accepted the treaty which opened the doors up for more westernization, including the game of baseball. |

Fuck yeah, I'm downloading the extended cut now. If you liked Gladiator you gotta check out the Rome HBO series. Gladiator is romanticized but Rome tries for more accuracy and the acting is fucking fantastic. |
| _____________________________________ [Oct 15,2009 10:12am - arilliusbm ""] Shit, I forgot about that. I really wanted to see that. How many episodes are there? That's out on DVD, right? That'd be a good thing to buy |
| __________________________________ [Oct 15,2009 10:14am - MikeOv ""] Fellini's Satyricon is very historically accurate. |
| _____________________________________ [Oct 15,2009 10:16am - arilliusbm ""] Never saw that. I would like to see an actual accurate depiction of historical events. Braveheart, Gladiator, among others - all great movies, but the inaccuracies are a drawback. But it's Hollywood, what do you expect.. |
| __________________________________ [Oct 15,2009 10:18am - Martins ""] ACCURACY |
| __________________________________ [Oct 15,2009 10:19am - MikeOv ""] Van Helsing was historically accurate. |

Haha yeah it's not really accurate - Commodore Perry knocked on their door with a monstrous fleet of warships and demanded they open their ports for trade. The emperor was given a few months to decide and finally accepted because essentially they had nothing to match western firepower and there were many upper class Japanese that were already "westernized" and were in for a money bomb. But I thought the schism between feudal Japan and the ruling class was represented well. And Tom Cruise can be a good actor and I like his movies but I would stay far away from him if I saw him on the street. |

That'd be a good thing to buy It is and I was going to purchase it but I could only find it for $75 for each season (2 seasons) and since I have digital copies...fuck that. |
| _________________________________ [Oct 15,2009 10:20am - xmikex ""] Magnolia or Vanilla Sky. No, on second thought Magnolia because if you get sick of looking at the dude's face there are actually other characters involved. |
| _____________________________________ [Oct 15,2009 10:21am - arilliusbm ""] nothing like good ol' imperialism. |
| _____________________________________ [Oct 15,2009 10:22am - arilliusbm ""] I'd give you money if you could somehow burn those, but that'd be too time consuming. I'll see if I can DL them, I guess. 150 bucks for 2 seasons of a show is a tad much |
| __________________________________ [Oct 15,2009 10:23am - MikeOv ""] I actually thought Open Your Eyes (the film Vanilla Sky was based on) was a lot better. |
| _______________________________ [Oct 15,2009 10:29am - Yeti ""] Tom Cruise was at Worcester Airport filming for this movie recently. Spider Gates is right around the corner, i was hoping for something epic to happen and he would get swallowed up by the 8th gate to Hell. the best Tom Cruise role goes to Tropic Thunder. |

Main story arc of the first season is shared between a Caesar and Pompeii's military expeditions, and a couple Roman soldiers in Rome, and the second season is Caesar's return to Rome, and the soldier's newfound dedication to Hades... it's a powerful series. Talking about it makes me really want to actually buy it, I'll find a used copy somewhere and burn em. |

| _____________________________________ [Oct 15,2009 10:35am - arilliusbm ""] Sweet. That sounds pretty good. Totally forgot about that series. Rome was a pretty epic city to visit. I remember trying to smuggle a brick of the Coliseum back to the states but something didn't sit right with me |
| ____________________________________ [Oct 15,2009 10:37am - arktouros ""] ahhahaha...careful stealing artifacts, you'll be among the many who get SWAT teams blowing down their doors. |

| __________________________________ [Oct 15,2009 10:38am - MikeOv ""] accurate* |
| _______________________________ [Oct 15,2009 10:39am - Yeti ""] there is only one truly historically accurate movie. Lord of the Rings. the events happened in real time. |
| _____________________________________ [Oct 15,2009 10:39am - arilliusbm ""] MikeOv said:Let him, then they can make a historically accuate film about it. Haha. You know you want a historically accurate film too. The best part of Rome was the catacombs. Dead christian remnants from centuries ago - walls made of human skulls, miles of tunnel. Definitely was worth splitting off from the tour group. |

| ______________________________________________ [Oct 15,2009 11:12am - MarkFuckingRichards ""] I'm sure there's going to be a huge and unnecessary crowd in the area going ballistic that a famous actor is there. I'm going to dispatch the hurt on Tom Cruise. |
