Tom's 'blackberry moment'-Post Game
Diane Sawyer: What about her drives you crazy?Tom: (nervous laughter to buy time) There is nothing about her that drives me crazy. (more nervous laughter) That drives me crazy in a good way is her smile.
Breakdown: Do you know why there is nothing about Katie that drives you crazy Tom? Because you're not in love with her, it's more of a forced brainwashing. See in real life, romance usually occurs mutually through two partners over the course of time. There are many ways for people to connect romantically, however in Tom Cruise's world he doesn't believe in tradition. As is standard with 'scientology courting rituals', Tom had his agent arrange a business meeting between the two parties. If that's not romance, then I don't know what is. By saying he likes her 'smile', just reaffirms he doesn't really love her. I mean come on! Smile? Hell everyone has a nice 'smile'. Like when a guy who a close friend as a female but she is ugly enough to scare the pockets off a pool table, and she asks "Trace, what's my best feature physically?" Always answer smile...it's just the safest answer you can possibly give and make her feel good. And girls don't act offended, it's the same thing when you answer "Oh, well you've got great eyes, plus you are really funny and girls love that!" Anyways, Tom Cruise has just given the worst, most lame, forced and awkward answer he could give when he just described what he liked about his fiancee the most.He's been with her for one year and her smile drives him crazy. I'd love to be in a room where a regular guy gave his girlfriend/fiancee that answer. Hijinx and hilarity would ensue let me tell you!
The train wreck has begun...
Tom:She has this thing with her tongue, when she smiles, when she's really laughing and her tongue sticks out. (Tom does his best impression of a person sticking their tongue out. I am glad he did because previous to that I had no idea what people looked like with their tongue stuck out). And I've seen people take pictures of it, and it's the cutest thing/ And it sticks out when we're riding the motorcycle. I tell her when we're riding the motorcycle please don't. If we hit a bump I get nervous about it. (more painfully awkward laughter)
Breakdown-WHAT! ARE YOU ACTUALLY SAYING THIS TO DIANE SAWYER! TOM MILLIONS OF PEOPLE WILL BE SEEING THIS AND YOU'RE WORRIED ABOUT YOUR FIANCEE BITING HER FUCKING TONGUE! I can just picture Tom's PR team sitting off camera with their jaws dropped to the floor, already mentally scheming stories to spin to the media because he likes Katie's cute tongue.
Oh man this is just really awkward, it's almost like Tom is guilty of a crime here, and he is trying to make himself look like a nice, charming guy to the police and he just says anything that is popping into his head.
It's funny how he goes from 'lovey dovey', to reitterating his masculinity within a split second. After he says 'it's the cutest thing' a lightbulb goes off instantly and he is like "Oh shit, I still got to look normal and cool so I will incorporate her tongue and the fact I drive a motorcycle with her.! Yeah that will make me look edgy!" Sweet Jesus Tom, please stop this insanity, is there anything you can do stop this... it can't get worse can't it?
Off Camera: Aid hands Tom his blackberry and shows him a message from Katie saying there is no baby action yet, but wishes him luck in his interview. To make it official he puts it directly in front of Diane Sawyers face just so she knows! Tom shows her his orignal message, and then Katie's response. Diane reads this aloud as it was so obviously set up, and as per the agreement with Tom. Diane Sawyer has guns pointed directly at her off camera, and if she doesn't play along, well then too bad for her. Tom just looks so aloof and just smiles, and exclaims sheepishly "So nothing yet, we're good"
Breakdown: Tom Cruise showed me a few things here.
1.His range of emotion was great! He goes from all surprised when his aid hands him the blackberry, then quickly to happy when he finds out it's Katie
2.He knows how to effectively manipulate and use a blackberry
3.He's just like any other future scientologist daddy to be
4.He can read big words like 'interview' and 'baby action'
5.He to has a great smile
I honestly was horrified at this interview, but by the end I was actually laughing so hard I watched three times.

All that video proves is what we all know anyway - Tom Cruise can't act.
Damn it Trace! Every boyfriend I have had has liked my smile..."your teeth are perfect" they say...What now? Should I stop smiling? Shit, this is awkward.
The only thing sad and pathetic is how everyone seems to care about Tom Cruise's life. Find something better to write about.
"Truth" and "Tom Cruise" both start with "T"....coincidence? This post was a long time coming, and Trace deserves a Pullitzer for it's hard-hitting commentary. Tom Cruise is nuts. He once told a crowd he can cure someone of herion addiction in 3 days using no drugs, just a "Scientology deprivation method." Unless there's a shotgun and the threat of forced sex with Star Jones involved, I'm not buying it. Poor Katie, and poor Katie's baby.
A couple things.
1. Beef, Tom can act. Has he made some bad movies? Sure, but what about performances in movies like Born on The Fourth of July, Collateral,Rainman, Magnolia, and the Last Samurai. I think you take his resume and it has to easily be up there with the best of them.
2. Melissa, random guys you meet at a bar and hit on you by saying you have a 'nice smile' does not constitute as a boyfriend. This is not awkward.
3.The Truth's comments couldn't be any further from the truth. Fair enough his every move is under the microscope these days. But man, this guy is a walking, talking soundbyte everywhere he goes. You never know what you are going to get from him. So as long as he continues to act the way he does, I will keep writing about him. I think the best analogy for Tom Cruise would be that he is the Barry Bonds of entertainment. You either love him or hate him, and he always speaks his mind.
Sorry Truth...
4. Lance, thanks for having my back as always son.
Just because he's been in good movies doesn't prove he can act. Everyone of those movies you listed was supported by a strong co-star. Foxx, Hoffman, etc... His range is as narrow as his views on the world. Cure Heroin addiction? Right.
I dont smile at the random guys I meet at the bar - I just make out with them.
Ok Beef, those are three movies. He was by far the best actor in Collateral, but I will give you Rainman. Just because it has other good actors in it, doesn't change his performance. He is more times than not, the showstopper in his movies.
define showstopper. does that mean the shows stops because too many people have walked out? or does it mean that his fellow actors refuse to act along side someone who doesn't deserve an ounce of the publicity he receives?
he is a big money star - yes - but it wasn't built around talent. handsome face + high proflie marriages = dollars at the box office.
People recognize his face. I don't know any art house snobs who are rolling in the aisle over how much of an underappreciated actor Tom Cruise is.
People who will go see MI3 will do so because of the hype. Not his acting.
Tom Cruise is one of the most diverse actos there are out there today hands down. And quite frankly, I don't think any other actor has the range that he has today. Tom Cruise is an attractive man sure, but you can't hold that against him. If you take away all of the silliniess surrounding him, (which he has brought on himself to a large extent) and focus on his actual performances, you will see that this guy is easily one of the top three actors in Hollywood today. Previous to this he had one 'high profile' marriage with Nicole Kidman. He still turned out great movies in the meantime before he met Katie. When you take a look at his entire movie resume all the way back to the Outsiders in 1983, almost every movie he has been in, has gone on to do very well. Is it solely because of him? I don't know, but at the same time I don't think it's a coincidence do you? And you can go back to all the way to 1983 to current day before all of this stuff surrounded him, and he has always turned in great perfomances. He has taken challenging roles, and nailed them. Sure the guy's personal life is a joke, but who cares.
And as for art-house critics, I hardly consider them to be an accurate gauge of entertainment. They are always going to hate something mainstream because for them, that's all they do! God forbid they might actually like something you would define as 'mainstream'.
I can't wait until MI3 comes out! And people will go to see it because the other two movies in the trilogy were amazing, not because of the hype my friend.
Do I think its a coincidence? No. Marketing is make-up for movies. And Tom Cruise movies look like rougish whores. You and I will never agree on this ... sadly...it's just opinion.
But I wish you wouldn't go and say things like the other two movies were amazing.
That's just hurtful.
MI WAS amazing. Unbelieveable SFX, even by 2006 standards, a good story, and good actors. It was a great film. Then they brought in John Wu for the second one. His over-the-top directorial style works well for Asian choppy-sockey movies, but does NOT translate well to North American cinema. Every one is the same: short, choppy close-ups of guns, doves flying through a shot while the bad guy/protagonist walks into focus, and a bad SFX slo-mo of bullets flying through the air. I could never tell if I was watching MI2 or Face/Off (which also involved a scientologist...freaky). Bottom line, 1 was good, 2 sucked, and 3 will be seen by yours truly for the presence of one Phillip Seymour Hoffman (P-Hoff to his buds). I will boo and throw popcorn every time Tomkat are on the screen. But I'll probably like the movie.
C'mon. A helicopter in a train tunnel? That's just a rip off of George Lucas' Tie-fighter in a Death Star. Everyone knows that.
I do agree with you on one point however - MI2 was significantly worse than the original. Even I can't deny the beauty in Tom hanging from a ceiling.
Double meaning intended.
MI 2 was so much better than the first. I can't even see any other way around it sorry. The action was so over the top I just gave in and said "I'm really glad to be alive and watching this movie right now." That scene at the end with the motorcycles is just great entertainment. It also had Thandie Newton, enough said. MI 3 has Phillip Seymour Hoffman as the villian? It will be the best one yet. I am sorry but MI 2 is the champ...thus far.
Claire from MI was MUCH hotter than Thandie Newton, and that's saying something.
I guess you liked MI2 for the reason I hated it: Over-the-top entertainment just isn't my style (I say this in the same breath that I praise a movie with a helicopter in a high-speed train tunnel). MI2 was a whole 'nother level of ridiculousness, and I just could not be coersed to believe it.
I just think you have something against doves...and Asians...
I have nothing against doves, they're very tasty. So are Asians.
I have always wondered why there are always stray cats walking around this chinese restaurant outside of town...
Then I have the chicken balls and I am like Oh Shit...what have I done
Chinese food jokes? I think you're capable of better Trace.
