Dude, Tom Cruise is the man.

No one has been the lead star in more Blockbusters. (Harrison Ford is close)
I know Sam Jackson has been in movies with the greatest total, but often not the lead.

Tom doesn’t sound like the name for a space man....

I can remember a song about a major with that name. Hope everything is safe.

Isn’t this the Russian Space Station? Does this make Tom a Puti sympathizer?

Like Michael Caine, Jackson does a lot of bad movies too. Personally, I'm tired of his act.

Going to space AND getting paid very good money for it. Cool.

Stanley Kubrick is no longer with us, so Steph Curry can’t blame him for faking outer-space action.

Hasn’t this movie already been made? ;)

Tom: Open the pod bay doors, Hal.
HAL: I’m sorry, Tom. I’m afraid I can’t do that.
Tom: What’s the problem?
HAL: l think you know what the problem is just as well as l do.
Tom: What are you talking about, Hal?
HAL: This mission is too important for me to allow you to jeopardize it.
Tom: I don’t know what you’re talking about, Hal.
HAL: l know that you and Frank were planning to disconnect me, and I’m afraid that’s something I can’t allow to happen.
Tom: Where the hell’d you get that idea, Hal?
HAL: Although you took very thorough precautions in the pod against my hearing you, I could see your lips move.
Tom: All right, Hal. I’ll go in through the emergency air lock.
HAL: Without your space helmet, Tom, you’re going to find that rather difficult.
Tom: Hal, I won’t argue with you anymore. Open the doors!
HAL: Tom...This conversation can serve no purpose anymore. Goodbye.

Cruise has given us TopGun Maverick this year.

$1.5 Billion. Most of that from outside the US.

Refused to send it to streaming. Made the studio sit on it until theaters could fill.

And fill they did. This is one of the great films of our time.

He can do whatever else he wants. Fine with me. We needed Maverick. He made that happen.

Agreed. Hopefully they film the entire movie and cgi backup scenes for the space scenes, you know, just in case.
