I really don’t understand the “hate” for Cruise. Some of his movies have had conservatives messages in them.

My guess is Born of the Fourth of July(a very depressing movie) . I vaguely recall that,

I know its silly being that that war was long over by that movie 1989, but remember in the GWB first term a popular ‘conservative’ theme was complaining about the Dixie Chicks. America either won every war or was on the threshold of doing it gloriously.

Not so much “hate” from me, just...”icky”.

“Risky Business”, which is on as I watch this, is one of my favorite ~20 movies of all time.

He was hilarious as “Les Grossman” in “Tropic Thunder”.

A lot of it is the Scientology thing. You may be surprised, but most Scientologists lean Republican in their political views and voting habits.

Actually, “Eyes Wide Shut” was a great movie. But you need to look at the symbology and wonder about what exactly Kubrick was trying to say...
