Since the latest MI is out tomorrow and since Mr Steyn so wonderfully skewers Tom Cruise......

[Rummyfan]

Four Weddings and a Funeral fades from memory; the brief scene where she confesses her love for Hugh Grant seems more and more the truest moment in the picture, and a zillion times better than any of his scenes with Andie MacDowell.

Really! He passed on Kristin Scott Thomas for Andie MacDowell. What a schmuck!

Skewering Tom Cruise is almost too easy.

It's no wonder their erotic interlude was cut from the movie: they can send Cruise flying along the side of a high-speed train, they can deck him out with high-tech laser-beam neutralisers, but no one in the special-effects department can invent a gadget which would make him look as if he and his leading ladies have any sexual chemistry.

OWWWWWW. That's a steel-toed workboot between the legs, right there. Mind you, it's true. Has he had any chemistry with a co-star since Kelly McGillis? (And there's those who say he had more chemistry with Anthony Edwards in "Top Gun's" sweaty homoerotic beach volleyball scene than he did with McGillis...)

Steven Hill (Adam Schiff on Law & Order) played the original leader of the IMF squad.

The original series, especially with Landau and Baine, rocked. It appealed to all age groups. I can still remember some of the cool stuff they did, usually without explosions.

I think the general public is sick of Cruise. Extending his career may prove to be his next "Mission Impossible."

This thread is ghey.

Mrs. Martin Landau in the original gave Diana Rigg a run for her money as sex object for teenage boys.

I hate to admit it, but, I liked Cruise in War of the Worlds. Am I Gay?

Anyway, I guess it wasn't him so much in that I am fascinated by the story, even after reading it and seeing it a million times.

One of them comes on like a parody of every spy-movie cliché in the book as its vain hero is whisked from one absurd situation to another; the other is a comedy with Leslie Nielsen.

Zing! *laughing*

Steyn correctly points out the hugely disappointing aspect of the Cruise Mission movies.

The Sixties series WAS about planning, teamwork and execution. It understood the true character of a good thriller. Cruise simply wnet for cheap thrills.

Tom Cruise movies are on my boycott list until he grows a brain and quits being so politically stupid.
