Re: Celebrity Deaths (updated weekly)
I'd drop this but I think Moony's drawn a huge amount of completely wrong and unfair conclusions from what I've said and I don't want that to go on.
I don't me you're joke, I just mean the whole couch-jumping fiasco in general.
If you think I've said that Tom Cruise is a great actor or talented person because he's nice somewhere, you're wrong.
I honestly used to think the exact same thing, but the more I see of him off-camera and read and hear what everyone who works with him says, he's supposed to have one of the best senses of humour out there. His off-the-cuff interactions with J.J. Abrams(for example) on the M:I3 dvd are hilarious.
Show me the post where I said anything even remotely like "Tom Cruise is really intense and has no sense of humour and that makes him awesome".
So why buy into all that rather than just think about it reasonably? He's not perfect, he's not some gay psychopath, he's just a guy who happens to be very successful and intense and generous and off-putting. If you don't like people who don't seem to have enough flaws, that's your problem, not theirs.
I have no idea where you're getting this. Being a good person isn't even really a means, it's an end. I don't think Tom Cruise is better at everything than most people, certainly not because he's "good". I just really admire him because he seems like he's a really nice and cool guy who demands the most out of life and doesn't take it for granted when he gets it, and this is more than I can say for most celebs out there. I'm sick of people calling him the biggest ******* in the world for pretty much no reason. That's my entire opinion here.
Sigh.... enjoy your fictional account of my posts, Moony. Work totally invalid? I've never said anything of the sort about anyone(although plenty others here certainly have about Cruise). But the fact is, yeah, stuff like that makes you a dick. Work has nothing to do with it. "Smells Like Teen Spirit" and "Imagine" are both great songs. Kurt Cobain and John Lennon were geniuses. But people thinking they're cool for doing mean, destructive stuff like that and say how "unfair" it was for Kurt Cobain to kill himself during a heroin trip, and then mock Tom Cruise for doing the opposite, is absolutely insane.
What the **** are you talking about? Tom Cruise is now sucks because he's too nice and not self-destructive enough?
Almost as if he's some sort of actor that specializes in a character type.... some sort of.... character.....actor.... am I on to something?
Whether or not he's a great actor isn't even part of this. I really like his work, you don't, it's opinion. My entire beef here is that people treat him like he's an evil person, which I think is ridiculous. As for Scientology, I still don't think it's any worse than most organized religions.
You have earned one Schrute buck.
