Let’s get the bottom line straight here.
Roger Friedman is a big, fat, too unattractive to pick up boys at bars ugly, queer gas bag. (This guys loves all things Rosie.)
Friedman hates Cruise because Cruise is a Scientologist. Scientology views homosexual activity as being ‘aberrative’ behavior and seeks to correct people from continuing destructive personality traits like trolling for dudes in truck stops.
Friedman has frequently used the ‘Cruise is gay’ rumor as justification for attacking Cruise for being a self-loathing gay man. Of course, there appears to be absolutely nothing gay about Cruise (other than the fact that he wears make-up and dresses up like other people for a living).
Friedman is a troll. He is fighting the culture war from the wrong side. And he wants to take down anybody he doesn’t think is on his side.
With all that being said, this latest Cruise movie is just a movie. It succeeds, it fails, so what?? It doesn’t have any larger political, social or societal meaning. The German got their own sordid past to sort out and frankly they bore me.
I haven’t seen the movie yet but I’m well-versed on the real history of this plot. It failed due to bad luck. Stauffenberg placed the bomb perfectly — it was in a briefcase and he was trusted well enough to get right next to Hitler. But after he left the room, somebody moved his briefcase.
The uniforms? Friedman knows nothing about the way German soldiers actually dressed. He’s a faggot. He’s used to seeing other faggots dressed up as Nazis. I have seen the TV ads and the trailer, and those uniforms are accurate.
