I don’t support the leftist reporter. But his point is completely valid. People like Cruise are in positions of major influence over millions of people and he has led them into eternal darkness.

It matters.

The movie is trash. Saw it last night. Forulaic garbage, even recycles plot lines from the first Star Wars. Overlong, strained, unbelievable romantic interest. Bland, overwrought characters. Every GenX’er I spoke to outside the theater agreed. One Boomer applauded a few times during the film.

I wondered the same.

Planned on going to see TG this morning, but plans changed. Maybe later in the week.

I may be in the minority with you, but I saw the movie yesterday and could not help to notice how endlessly cliché it was and how it had a plot thinner than deli meat. And your comparison to Star Wars IV - A New Hope (which I myself figured out as I watched) was spot-on.

I really didn’t care for the movie, but that had nothing to do with Cruise’s religious beliefs.

Well I was considering seeing it, until Kinzinger said he liked it.

Two idiots meet on Twitter and get into a tweet battle. Imagine that.

Yep. 99% audience score on RT? What the heck were these people watching? Not the same film I saw. Maybe if they were very attached to the characters, like some people are with Avengers. I liked the original, but it was basically a 90-min music video with a lot of sunset silouettes and lens flares, classic Tony Scott fare. But crying at sick CGI-adjusted Iceman? I don't get it.

Sadly, there are thousands who believe the earth is flat.

You don't even have to leave this page to find a couple hundred.

I did some reading, and learned there are even more who believe the Earth is hollow and stationary, and we live on the inner surface. The sun, moon, planets and stars are apparently fixed points on concentric glass spheres, which act as lenses, flipping the images to appear as domes that extend to the horizon.

The way they ‘clinch’ their argument, is by invoking Occam’s Razor. They ask; if one were to create a universe, which would be simpler to construct, a small finite universe inside a static earth, or a vast and boundless universe, with infinitely complex motions, extending forever outward?

Obviously, the former.
