4. I can't wait for Charlie and the Chocolate Factory
Finally a movie version of the book that actually will stay true to the book (That 1972 crapass movie ruined it!!!)

10. Hey man, I liked that 1972 crapass movie
If only for Gene Wilder's likable yet menacing performance.

18. Yep, that one's definitely on the McCall calendar.
If Depp's in it, we'll be in line on opening night. :D

11. Oh gads. I love Johnny Depp

I loved his rendition of Buster Keaton in Benny and Joon.

Actually his pirate was somewhat Keatonesque too, what with stepping right onto the dock from his sinking boat and all.

3. Nope.
At first I thought I might.

But since they are promoting this as a "Tom Cruise" film, for-fucking-get it.

5. No. Way. In. Hell.
I refused to go to "Minority Report" and "Swordfish" too. No money for the cult.

7. I only saw Minority Report because it's a PKDick story.

6. I saw the original. And I saw "Independence Day"
AND I saw "Mars Attacks!"

I think I've had my fill of "aliens coming to Earth and blowing everything up" movies, thank you.

13. Could this be Tom's "Battlefield Earth"?

Can't wait to see how the story is morphed into the next
Scientology movie.

15. Rest assured he'll manage to make the aliens into psychiatrists.
Or make Earth psychiatrists into an fifth column. You read it here first.

16. I dont agree with his views on certain subjects but
He makes good to great films.Rarely makes a stinker.I can separate his off screen life from his movies.

I grew up being a big fan of Charlton Heston and even though I strongly disagree with his NRA "guns for everyone" stance Im still a fan of his old films.

The only exception I can name right now is old John Wayne war movies(still like his westerns).While other actors enlisted during WWII,he decided his career was more important and made war films starring him as the hero.

17. I think War of the Worlds reached it's peak in the radio drama
which was much more interesting than the book.

I don't know what the point of this movie would be.

However, I actually have come to love Tom Cruise as an actor. His role in Magnolia has seldom been equalled.

How far he's come from Top Gun.
