Cruise, it appears, is no longer a bankable star as he has been in the past. The old coot Redstone (Viacom CEO) was wise enough to see this two years ago.
Memo
to: Movie Execs
fr: American public
re: movies we want
if you want to get us back in the theaters, please make pro-American movies. Not your “hating America means you love America” movies. Not “rah, rah, rah” movies, but pro American values (actual American values, not your values) , positive military references, positive male references, positive Christian references (not necessarily religious)and positive ending.
Signed,
The American Public.(ie, the people you despise and loath)
