Ok, so what the hell's wrong with Tom Cruise.

[complain jane]

I mean, y'know, if the guy's really happy, good for him. I'm happy too. But he's acting so over the top, right?

1. speed of some sort??

[OldLeftieLawyer]

2. He's working really hard to publicize his new movie,

he's no kid any more, and he's desperately trying to appear heterosexual.

[complain jane]

5. Oh holy crap I forgot, that's right, he's supposed to be gay.

I just don't get it. What was the deal with Kidman? Cruz?

I just don't get it.

My best friend's husband supposedly went to high school with Tom Cruise. He (my friend's hubby) says all he remembers was a strange kid who had crutches for a while (broken leg I think), they invited him to Great Adventure once, he went, but was kind of a dork.

3. I saw him jumping on the coach when he was on Oprah .

It was a bit over the top .

[NuttyFluffers]

31. he did something similar on Leno.

it was... sad.

if he needs to re-prove his heterosexuality all he has to do is get in another hot 'n steamy military movie with val kilmer. a few shower scenes and pats on the ass and everyone will know he's straight. hell, the freepers still think top gun is the shizznit, it must work! :eyes:

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

4. He's become kind of creepy, in a manic way

and he's a Scientologist.

[evlbstrd]

6. Gotta be the Scientology.

[BelleCarolinaPeridot]

9. I think its crack .

His own . Because he has his head so far up his butt if he thinks anybody is buying this .

[SmileyBoy]

7. I think he's trying to get rid of his "body thetans".

That Scientology is FUCKED UP.

[DS1]

8. TROLL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

CRUISE SCIENTOLOGY SUPPORTER - HER DEATH IS IN YOUR HANDS, LEBOWSKI - HER DEATH IS IN YOUR HANDS!!!

:sarcasm:

I don't think there's anything wrong with the guy, if he were Catholic or Jewish I wouldn't call him out on it, I wouldn't care. If he were a Catholic of Jewish descent I still wouldn't care, I don't even know if that's possible, yet I still don't care.

Tom Cruise is Tom Cruise, he acts for a living, and makes a lot of dollars for doing so. Since we're all liberals that promote freedom of religion, there's absolutely nothing of interest we find in his decision as a human being to support Scientology. Right? I mean, we're not the GOP, the party of White Christians. We do support differing views. I know we do.

*hugs and kisses*

[complain jane]

10. well now what the hell.

I never said anything about the scientology thing, man.

[DS1]

14. Posts numbers 10 and 12

explain it all

It's a love/hate thing

[evlbstrd]

12. He acts?

I hadn't noticed any acting.

[lenidog]

11. If Tom Cruise murdered Katie Holmes it wouldn't get as much press

as his appearance on Oprah has gotten

[Trajan]

13. I like Tom Cruise ...

I think he has done some extraordinary work .... He has had more than a few GREAT acting scenes ....

Tom Cruise hatred is so assinine ....

He is just a man .... and a rather decent man at that ...

WHY pillory him ? ...

[On the Road]

15. Couldn't Agree More

So many celebrities are jerks. Tom Cruise seems like such a great guy.

Who cares if he's confused about religion? A lot of people are. I used to be myself.

[complain jane]

20. No, I mean about his new gf

Over the top totally. Gimme a break.

And who says "they've never felt this way before" about someone, publicly, for all the world to hear, including his EX-WIFE and recent ex-girlfriend?

I mean come on.

[Trajan]

22. Methinks ...

Cruise has a right to love someone in whatever way he sees fit .... AND to practice whatever 'faith' he sees fit ...

Freedom is wonderful, dontcha think ? ...

Sheeeesh ... He is a human being, and acts like one ...

[On the Road]

23. Sure It's Over the Top

I take it at face value. Love does strange things to people.

[tanyev]

16. Tom Cruise is passionately in love with TOM CRUISE.

He's OK when the rest of the world also shares that love, but when it becomes apparent that we are tiring of him, he must resort to more and more desperate measures to get us to notice him.

[roguevalley]

17. I'M still under the couch after catching oprah. Lord god. what a

terrible thing that was.

[BelleCarolinaPeridot]

18. I had one of those most moments ...

I had one of those moments where I felt embarassed for the other person while they were making an ass of themselves .

[Melynn]

21. That's the way I felt too

and I didn't see the Oprah show, I just saw still pictures of the show on the Internet.

You feel embarrassed for someone who is making an ass of themselves and you want to say, "Stop it. Settle down and behave yourself".

My guess is that most mega celebrities don't have anyone around them that will tell them they are an ass and so they see nothing wrong with their behavior.

[complain jane]

19. oh my GOD what cute dogs

[elshiva]

24. He is just annoying.

[Zuni]

25. ronnykmarshall has the goods on Mr. Cruise

he is the resident expert on Cruiseology

:thumbsup:

[ronnykmarshall]

26. Oh I don't know if I should say anything ...

you know what a gay basher I am. :eyes:

Not to mention that I brought on my own bashing.

Why I not even a REAL liberal!!!

Tommy can you hear me?

Tommy can you see me?

Tommy, Tommy?

Tommy please shut the fuck up!

[Zuni]

27. wow. that sounds like the rantings of a closeted self hating homosexual

that is inappropriate on a Tom cruise thread.
:P

32. Ronny K lives on donations from the Westboro Baptist Church

34. Good ol' Fred.

My last name really is Phelps ya know.

[last_texas_dem]

28. I dunno

Other than the soft pro-war statement he made a couple years back I don't really hold anything against him.

Scientology? I don't really know anything about it; maybe it's weird but, then again, so are plenty of other religions that much larger groups of people follow. As long as they aren't trying to force me to believe it I don't care.

And about the whole "he's actually gay" thing, well, I've seen no real proof of this so I think it's kind of silly to speculate about it. I don't see understand why Katie Holmes, in the prime of her dating years, would choose to date an older gay man who isn't actually interested in her. But if there is any proof of his homosexuality, excuse me for brushing off this stuff as unsubstantiated rumor. But it does seem kinda odd to me the amount of "I don't like Tom Cruise= he must be gay" that seems to be going on on a liberal political discussion board!

I guess I just don't have an active dislike for this guy like the majority of DUers seem to. He just seems like an average actor with some of the typical Hollywood weirdness; nothing to make me really dislike him for any reason.

[Bleacher Creature]

29. I heard that he auditioned young actresses

to be his girlfriend.

There was a story last week in US Weekly -- not exactly a bastion of journalism, but not a total joke on topics like this -- claiming that his people wanted Jessica Alba or Lindsey Lohan as their first choice, but later settled on Holmes.

33. i can't stand the way he constantly prostelytizes his religion

and it was really bad form to diss brooke shields for daring to take anti-depressants to deal with postpartum depression. In fact, his entire attitude toward psychology is bullshit.
