ROTS RULES!!

If that's an actual still, well, somebody stop payment on the CGI guy's check.
-
I'm such a philistine I don't consider concept art newsworthy.
-
I like this, though it seems as id I've seen half of this movie from all of the trailers and t.v. spots that have been released. I hope that Sir Steven nails this. By far he's my favorite director. Let's hope he kicks this ones ass. Oh and one other thing, leave Cruise alone. If I was with Holmes, I'd be jumping on more than couches. Did you see those baby feeders in Batman!! Cold in the Batcave it was!...

This site is starting to blow some serious goat kack. Please fix obi-fat-kaHarry your our only hope.

HOT DAMN!!!!! CONCEPT DRAWINGS!!!! THAT TELLS ME EVERYTHING ABOUT WHAT THEY "HOPE" THE FILM WILL BE!!!!! OOOOOH THAT MAKES ME DROOL!!!! DROOL AS MUCH AS THE DAY I DREW UP SOME CONCEPT ART FOR THE DUKES OF HAZZARD MOVIE WITH JESSICA SIMPSON NAKED!!!!! YEAH!!!! I SURE HOPE THAT WILL BE IN THE MOVIE TOO!!!!! HEY- YOU THINK WE MIGHT BE ABLE TO FIND ANY REAL PHOTOS OF THE MOVIE ANYWHERE???? I WOULD BE SOOOO SOOOO HAPPY IF SOMEONE HACKED SOMETHING AND HAD LIKE SOME OF HTEM PROMO PICTURES OR SOMETHING....LIKE THE ONES YOU SEE IN MAGAZINES OR THE TV NEWS OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT!!! THAT WOULD BE SOOOO COOOL!!!!!....And thus, can I see the movie if I pay them money? - - - George, The 7th Chicken!!!!

HAVE YOU HEARD???
-
...he did handle that situation with class. I have no doubt he could have punched that guy's lights out, but he decided to make him look like an ass instead, which he did beautifully. Squirting water in a guy's face - oh my aching sides. I'll bet you laugh at the sugarcubes with little plastic flies in them and fake vomit as well.
-
Holy Shit! Tom Cruise was the victim of a violent and shocking assault at the UK premiere of War Of The Worlds involving a hired assassin who... wait for it... squirted him with water! That's right! Tom Cruise was actually so panic stricken by the water spraying incident that he thought the aliens were real and coming to get him! (Oh yeah, and in other news, Leonardo Di Caprio was slashed in the face by a crazy woman wielding a broken bottle, but that's not half as serious as Tom Cruise getting slightly wet!)
-
Those alien robots look a hell of a lot like those Imperial Droids in The Empire Strikes Back that seek out the rebel base... You remember, right? Chewie distracted one on Hoth, so Han could shoot it. Hey! Maybe they ARE Imperial Droids... Palpatine sent them to Earth to destroy any surviving Jedi! (the rest of the human race is collateral damage)
-
According to Lord L. Ron. Hubberb we humans evolved from clams--yes, clams--and so that spraying was actually a very primal emotional moment for Cruise, reminding him of our less evolved past. Ain't the right, Lord Xemu?
-
So, if Xenu is the founding Alien Father of Scientology, maybe Cruise believes that his Virgin Bride Holmes will have an Immaculate Conception and give birth to the Xenu Christ, the only human Son of Xenu, sent to Earth to convert us all to Scientology! That way, when we die, we'll all end up in an afterlife that looks like the set of Battlefield Earth where we have to rewatch that sacred film on a loop for all eternity!
-
Actually no, he didn't. If you think that asshole Channel 4 fake "comedic" reporter came off looking better than Cruise in that confrontation, then you're hopelessly out of touch with reality.
-
...trying to make us believe that you'd have either the guts or the capacity to kick him in his "gay midget balls" isn't doing you any favors in the credibility department - heightwise or heterosexually.
-
Tom Cruise visits a classroom of Scientology Younglings and teaches them all to worship the picture of the 'Neo-Fuhrer' L. Ron Hubbard, while chanting: "THE LEADER IS GOOD, THE LEADER IS GREAT, WE SURRENDER OUR WILL AS OF THIS DATE". Then he goes home to admire his collection of Lima Beans that look like the Leader! Katie Holmes resistance to Scientology was broken down by the hypnotic chant of "NA-NA NA-NA NA-NA NA-NA LEADER!"- Katie Holmes: "I LOVE the Leader!"

I do. Really, his publicists are going to have to come up with a lot of made up "Cruise Saves Family of Four" stories to downplay that little hissy fit display.

Agree that Cruise handled himself well during the water prank
by doc_mccoy
I'm the first the laugh in disbelief when Cruise pulls some of his weirdo antics. I don't even think he's a very good actor. But I will say that I think he handled that water prank incident with a lot of class. I can't imagine keeping my cool like that if it had been me. And what an unfunny and un-creative "prank".
-
People might be sick to death of Tom Cruise (if they weren't already, like me) and it seems like a lot of people who are joansing(sp?) for this film are looking for some serious alien/human smackdown (re: ID4), when, according to early screenings, it just sounds like a bigger budget version of SIGNS.
-
Sorry, dude. Given your truly sad attempt to overcompensize with that nickname, not to mention using the term "midget" to describe Tom Cruise, you are fooling no one. You may be wearing platform shoes, but surely the air can't be that thin up there.
-
Should of course be overcompensate. See? Now you're doing it to me.
-
You worked in: living in the parent's basement, being a virgin, a gay jab, AND a slight barb towards France too! Congratulations man! You have officially become an AICN cliche.
-
it's gonna be great. like in Starship Troopers where the Arachnids (pronounced Iraqnids) emerge from an energy rich desert planet. the difference here being that Verhoven was satirizing american imperialism. Spielberg will spin it that americans are innocent victims of terrorists, of course. should be a hoot and a hollar. plus: they're be tons of 'splosions! yay!
-
of making that 'reporter' look like a douchbag. Brobdingbatnag, I hope some day that I grow internet-sized balls like yours. Dick.
-
he really, really does! so much, in fact, that he'll sue any man who comes forth with pictures and information about his vigrous homosexual sexcapades in various bath houses around LA. (note: any man that concerned about being perceived as gay IS gay and is deeply in the closet. Ian McKellan should out him.)
-
enough already. Its not fun, its not funny.
-
But after watching it on the news, I take my hat off to Cruise. AND he made the television crew look like the dicks they are as well.

I'll see this because it looks like a cool SF movie directed
by johnnytremaine
If he floods the media anymore, I may just consider skipping WOTW and wait for the DVD. Besides home viewing seems to be the way people prefer to watch flicks nowadays anyway rather than going to the local cineplex. And ya know, why not? If I shelled out a few grand for a widescreen plasma TV and surround sound, and new DVD's only cost $15-20, I'd be watching more movies at home too.
-
brobdingnag, anyone who talks about how many "gay midget balls" they would kick on an internet forum while haw-hawing painfully unfunny pranks played on celebrities is a sad, insecure loser who would suck said celebrity's dick in a heartbeat if it was on offer.

Why would any aliens who have the capablity of interplanatary or
by ingeld
have to rely on thousands and thousands of laser tanks on tripods to take over a world one building, one ship at a time? Are they that behind in nuclear weaponary and biological weapons? I don't mind having this story told completely from the point of view of a man trying to save his family, but I will hate it if we get no real information as to the nature of the aliens and some understanding of who and what they are and a bit of their reasoning.
-
I endured Episode 3. i managed to stay awake through the shitstorm of bad editing in batman. but this...this war of the worlds looks like total fecally-lined asshole.
-
Really is. But I don't need anything more to get me set for "War of the Worlds". I'm ready!
-
Lucas knows how to pick 'em.
-
..would have the balls to do that to russell crowe. that is a clip i would like to see.
-
conserning invation techniques:one would probably assume that such an advanced race of beings would be able to take over a planet so easily rather than using big tripods or ships to take out the planet. however i guess it would assume on the intentions of the invasion. if the aliens wanted to just destroy the planet with no use of it, one would reluctantly assume that that if they can master space travel, then know how to make big bombs. however the aliens not outright destroying the planet like this tells us that they want the planet for some reason...its just us humans who get in the way. being an army officer myself (reserves as of now) i would make a guess the best way to kill all humans while not destroying the planet would be a combination of ID4 and WOtW. big machines come and take out major cities across world at same time killing all humans in cities (since there is little argiculture the damage to the enviroment itself can be minimual depending on the type of destructive device, if a thousand nukes were lit off then they would kill the planet anyways through the atmospher). then after the big metropolitan areas were done in, tanks and heavy artillary would come in and do a basic blast of the local towns and such. afterwords ground troops or robots would come in and search house by house and scan area for any human life. not the fastest, but gets the job done without anything leftover that is unwanted (Humans) and minimal damage to what is valuable (earths resources).
conserning biological weapons: if they had them, they would use them, but it is also possible that they do not know enough about the anatomy of the human body (assumeing the human body is vastly different from the aliens biology) to make an effective and safe weapon. they could also just be mean assholes who feel a need to punish the humans as well, plenty of possibilities just throwing in my two-cents, discuss!!! -
...that Xemu guy's "bit" is not in any way getting even the slightest bit stale. That smell you think is Xemu guys "bit" is really the stench coming off of Cruise and his unholy quest to demonstrate how much he loves Katie Holmes. That's what's getting stale. It's getting so bad that watching Batman Begins was difficult when she was on the screen. Given another week or two of this and I'd have passed on it the way I'm going to pass on War of the Worlds.
-
Caption on a photo at CNN:
"An aide to Cruise, right, uses a towel to dry the actor's face after the man at left squirted him with water."
I hope he doesn't need someone to brush his teeth and wipe his ass, too (don't do that in the wrong order). Being his aide must be a horrible job.
Whatever happened to his adopted kids he used to parade around to show what a humanitarian he is? I guess he doesn't need them anymore.
-
I've been getting a cool, John Christopher "White Mountains"/tripods vibe offa these images. I LOVED that series..read' 'em all in 6th grade (36 years ago...egads!). You really saw & felt what you were reading about (the heat of the City!!), and it was scary/cool as hell. Has anyone done them on film/tv (I think I recall hearing about a BBC rendition...). Anyhoo, the Tripods would 'cap' adolescents with a wire mesh imbedded into the skull to control behavior or thought. Has anyone seen Tom's nekkid skull...I'm betting you'll find a Cap!
-
Is this going to be a cross movie deal like AVP? I hope Keanu Reeves doesn't show up and say "Dude, I'm here to save the world!"

Scarlett Johannson fled from Tom Cruise at the Scientology Celeb
by frankdrebin
According to Defamer.com, anyway. And she was just one in a line of (very) young women Cruise tried to convert. Like some kind of Svenjolly.
-
I don't get what the big deal is with someone squirting Cruise. Why is that news? Seems like a Stern bit. Shrug. Is it news because Tommy was offended people didn't take vapid answers to inane questions seriously? Dude, get over yourself. You do make believe for a living. That's your job. As far as social importance, you rank below the guy that stocks shelves at super markets. you're a trained monkey, Tom. Dance for us, monkey, dance! If we want to spray you in the face get your place in the world...you've taken a job to amuse us. It amuses us when you're working (yep red carpet is part of the job) and we make you dance. Dance monkey, dance.

If concept art gets you hot, "The Making Of The Fantastic Four"
by frankdrebin
Some of the drawings have a "chunky-style" Thing instead of the "creamy-style" version in the movie. Seriously, it might be a deal-breaker for me: 527 issues of the FF (plus spin-offs, mini-series and guest appearances) with a rocky Ben Grimm, and now I'm supposed to just accept a different look?
-
The guy, like so many actors, has no concept of how silly he is. Cruise chose to call the man names, rather than ask what pushed the fake reported to squirt him. He honestly believed the interview and questions were real and important! He felt he was "giving" this man an interview. Tom doesn't grasp, what he has to say isn't important. Making him the clown in the "interview" was the goal. The fake reporter wasn't so hot on his feet because he shoulda flung back something akin to, "A jerk? You mindless twit, you're babbling about your gawd awful movie and hokey religion as if people care. Get over yourself, trained monkey. "

by zerocorpse
Katie Holmes may have fallen for it, but Tom Cruise
-
A couple years ago some scientologists invited me to a free auditing.After a couple minutes I was totally creeped out it felt very cult-like.I walked out and never went back.Later I did some research and found out about the whole money scam and alien thing.Its really sad,alot of people have gotten their lives ruined by this cult.
-
I'm excited to see "War of the Worlds," regardless of Tom and Katie's romantic insanity. I mean, I could do without their lovey-doveyness spilling onto the pre-release schedule of "WOTW," but hey, Cruise made his latest score and I'm oh-so-happy for him. I give it six months until Cruise and Holmes break up in an even more unnecessarily bombastic media frenzy, but apparently this story touched the heart of Mrs. SUV Soccer Mom, Mr. Joe Six-pack, and perhaps even Xemu the Galactic Emperor. That said, I'm happy nobody's seen much of the aliens yet in the trailers, and I'm hoping Spielberg keeps teasing us, rather than showing us exactly what happens.
-
Stange how there've been no claims of seeing this, a big budget super hero movie, so close to release date. I don't remember this happening all too often.

One More Reason EYES WIDE SHUT Is a Work of Sheer Genius
by zombiesolutions
is how Kubrick shoots Cruise in the film. he purposefully shoots him so that we can all see how short he is. the women tower over him, as does just about every other character in the film. and the great thing is, you know Cruise totally missed it. (btw, i don't hate Cruise, i just think he should come out and be proud of it. Ian McKellan has the balls to be a proud gay man. Shit, with a name like "Cruise", he almost has to be gay -- if not a gay pornostar.)

L. Ron Hubbard once said, "The way to make a million dollars is to start a religion." So he made one, the creepy cult of lies called Scientology. Apparently, due to the way people interpret their personal reality, coupled with their multiple deep-seated psychological traumas, people can be convinced to believe a doctrine as insanely false as Scientology, Tom Cruise included. Taken literally, without the process of overawing non-scientologists with creepy ritualistic behavior and huge, million-dollar temples, Scientology is a silly bunch of bunk created by L. Ron Hubbard to make money for himself. And look, his plan worked perfectly, thanks to people like Tom Cruise, who suspended all rational thought in order to believe that he belongs to something bigger than himself, some twisted ideal that was created entirely by a greedy, manipulative human rather than handed down from aliens. Sorry, Xenu, but I had to cut you down to size. You don't exist and you never existed.

by harry coin
do any of you basement dwelling homophobes have any proof that Tom likes to take a shot in the mouth every once in a while? If he does, he probably goes to great lengths to hide it because of closet fudge-packers like most AICN readers. Who really gives a shit if the guy is gay? And why are you all so fascinated by his alleged gayness? Just admit you guys wish you could get your poop shoots retrofitted by Tom. Y'all probably day dream about it 24/7. As for scientology, is it goofier then batshit? Yeah, but last time I checked, Scientologists hadn't ever been involved in genocide or inquisitions or holocausts. So cut them some slack. Who cares if they are brainwashing hollywood celebrities? Cause, ya know, all well informed people get their opinions from hollywood stars. Fucktards.

I think it is pretty obvious from the shots of tripod tentacles plucking people from the water that the aliens are harvesting people to PERFORM ANAL PROBES, THUS CONVERTING THE HUMAN RACE TO GAY SCIENTOLOGISTS! SPOILER AHEAD! The aliens are actually highly evolved gay scientologists from the future harvesting humans for their dingleberries, and only FARTMAN can thwart their evil plans! THWWWWPT!!!

I don't read the talkbacks too much but it is just funny how you guys love to sit behind your computers and piss and moan about everything. Someone here said that they are so sick of hearing about Tom Cruise that they might skip his movies. You are all playing right into the hands of the media. The media conjures up all of this shit, blow everything out of proportion, and then let people like you eat it up. You're going to judge a film just because of that?
If any of you have ever been in love, you'll know that you do stupid and cheesy shit when you are head over heals for a girl. The media always complained that Cruise never talks about his relationships. So they hound him more and speculate more. So, he decides to do something new with Holmes in order to keep the speculation down, and the media blasts him for THAT. It's a no win situation.
As far as him being gay? Come on. Give me a frickin' break. Are you so petty and self righteous that you need to find any type of fault or speculate on any type in order to bring the most successful actor of our generation down? If you were a big star, and some shit for brains people were conjuring up stories about you being gay, you'd go after those people and sue them for slander too. These people make shitloads of money posting lies about you... lies that your kids can read and your family can read... yeah, tell me you're not going to try and shut them up.
Cruise is known as one of the hardest working individuals in the industry. He commits 200%. Ask ANY player in the industry and they will attest to that. His work is proof of that. No other actor has had the percentage of success he has had. Sure, he hits some bumps in the road, but who doesn't?
But what am I saying? You guys don't give a shit. You feel powerful being able to hide behind your computer and throw insults at those who are successful. Having an intelligent opinion is one thing, but the shit that smears onto this site is anything but intelligent.
In short, don't let the media form your opinions for you. In regards to the squirting incident? Kudos to Cruise for acting like a man. Russell Crowe is a genius of an actor, but having a hissy fit like he did doesn't prove his manhood. If Cruise had attacked him, the media would have LOVED it.
It would just be amazing to come to these talkbacks and hear some intelligent debates over films. If only. Instead we get whiny bitches who piss and moan and generalize everything. What are you trying to compensate for guys? Shit, go buy a sports car or a crotch rocket.
Just TRY for some intelligent conversations. Just TRY it. You'll get so much more out of that type of conversation.

Well said.

if a TOTAL STRANGER sprays something in your face. yeah, it was just water but he didn't know that before he was sprayed and while he was being sprayed. It would've been cool to see TC grab that guy by the neck and punch his face a couple of times before being pulled off that guy, but of course the press would tease it as TOM GOES WILD and we'd never hear the end of it - so TC took the alternate route and embrassed the man who attacked him. Checkmate.
-
"Are you so petty and self righteous that you need to find any type of fault" in an actor? Um . . . like Cruise criticising Brooke Shields? Did she ask for his opinion? I don't think so, so why doesn't he shut the fuck up and butt out of other people's lives. He's worse than anyone on these boards because he used his access to the media to slam Ms. Sheilds.
"Instead we get whiny bitches who piss and moan." Um . . . like Tom Cruise suing a paper because they said he has a low sperm count? To alleged defamation, you have to allege that the comments somehow "lowered" you in the public's esteem or painted you in a bad light. How does having a low sperm count paint someone in a bad light - it's just a physical (and invisible!) condition. The fact that Mr. Cruise thinks it's a horrible thing to be accused of having a low sperm count says more about his lack of character than it does about the alleged defamers.
"What are you trying to compensate for guys?" Um . . . like Mr. Cruise marrying a girl young enough to be his daughter after "interviewing" her for the role of his girlfriend?
Address your criticism where it belongs - at Mr. Cruise.
-
. . .straps one on and ass fucks the kook and that's why he's sooo KRAZIE about her. Or better yet, she actually has a cock, albiet a small one, and he ass reams her while providing a reach around.

by triumph poops!
Seriously, what an asswipe stunt by those people towards someone who's just being nice walking the red carpet, signing autographs, and even as Cruise will do for fun, take someone's cell phone and talk to the person's friend. Cruise is exceedingly well-known for being nice to the fans, so of course these morons think its fun to get their moment of shock cinema onscreen because...oh, no reason. Just because they feel they're ENTITLED to do something asswipe like in public. So fuck 'em up the ass. Cruise is a celebrity who has a security detail for a reason (ie. he gets threats and such). So for the people to squirt him that way, who knows "what" could have been in the fluid -- thus he would have been entitled to "defend" himself and wail the living crap out of those clowns. And have his security detail beat the living shit out of them as well, which frankly would have been the TV I'D prefer to see. To see the joke fuckers getting whipped bad.

So for the record, Brodingag, let's get this straight...
by big dumb ape
You're dressed up in some expensive clothes, going out for the night to see a movie. The press in there, taking comments from people. You get asked some questions by someone who then douses you in water and says "Hey, pal, it's a reality show. We're really just here to soak people and tape their expressions." So you're saying you WOULDN'T get mad that you now had to go into your movie soaking wet? Or that those clothes you bought -- you know, the designer jacket that cost a ton that's now possibly stained since you have no idea "what" fluid came shooting out at you or if its even water if it was truly clean -- is all cool by you? That you WOULDN'T get mad? I just want it on the record that you think it's cool that YOU get soaked going into a movie versus somehow someone like Cruise should EXPECT such ridiculous rude behavior because being a celebrity means he's open for anything happening to him. Just want to clarify what a total BULLSHIT double standard you might be living under to show what a classless clod you might be.
-
I thought the Titanic hit an iceberg. As for Tom Cruise, I think he handled himself really well. He could have punched that guy in his face, but then that guy would have beaten the shit out of Jerry Maguire and then ass pounded him in front of all his fans. Although Im sure if you asked Cruise, he would say he was about to go all "Maverick" on that guy.
-
Hey dude, just wondering here, but have you ever left your house in the rain? If it rains on your brand new jean jacket do you get all pissed and try to fight a fucking cloud? Is it ok that some random dude sprayed him with water or kool-aid or some shit? No. But that shit happens when you are in the spot light like he is as much as I hate the fact that he is in the spot light at all. Icebox out.
-
As Nicholas Meyer explained in his awesome Khan commentary...an actor becomes the character he plays, while a movie star makes his character act like himself. Or something. Cruise is Cruise in all his movies.

Nice but, when are you going to mention the sneak trailer of Kin
by volstaff
Oh wait, I just did.
The onbly bad thing is, you have to watch freakin' Fear Factor to see it. Blech.
It'll probably be like the RoTS trailer on the OC. They'll make you watch the whole episode of Fear Factor, then show the trailer at the end. -
You know those stupid ass soccer Moms who get all worked up over what Cruise does or says in his public appearances ("He says he's in love with Katie Holmes!") and lets that dictate how they feel about his acting and his movies and whether or not they will pony up $10 for a ticket to his next flick? Pretty dumb, and annoying, those kinds of people are, huh? It's a good thing the AICN geeks are too cynical, hip and smart to not engage in such predictable, sheep-like behavior. They have too much love and respect for film to be so Pavlovian. ............. ROTFLMAO!!!111!!! Doods. Fuck Tom Cruise and his whiny-ass bitch antics on Oprah. Fuck his ghey ass. He's a fucking midget who thinks he's cool on Oprah and he's a Scientologist and he's stupid and he's always in the National Enquirier!!! LOLFLROFJOLIJEF!!! Did you see that fucking Scsientologist midget get sprayed. OMG! THat was so funny. That fucking Oprah bitch asshole. That made my day! I'm never going to see his movies. He divorced Nicole Kidman cuz he's gay!
-
And the first woman up to him seems to be hiding a smile/laugh with her hand... and Tom says "Why is that funny?" I dunno, why did you laugh? It's the oldest clown trick in the book next to the pie in the face. Childish? Yes. One of the only semi entertaining things to come out of a premiere red carpet in years? Yes.
-
...are we to understand this is going to be done all in filmstrip format? Cool I can see it now the voiceover: "They all looked on in horror as the aliens approach." An image of Tom Cruise looking on in horror as the aliens approach (BEEP!!) next slide. (I hope I get to run the filmstrip projector I always loved pushing the little red button too fast and screwing the whole thing up!)
-
I assume you're presenting the idea that "Cruise is Cruise" in all his movies as evidence that he's not that good of an actor. If Cruise is always Cruise in his movies as you say, (and maybe he is), then how do you feel about Robert Deniro or Jack Nicholson as actors? (Deniro is a constipated anti-social introvert in all his movies, and Jack is just, well, "Jack.") Frankly, I think all three--Cruise included--are really good actors. Yes, they all seem to act like "themselves" in nearly all of their roles, but I don't necessarily see that as a bad thing. Probably the most important thing in acting is for the actor to "bring himself" into the role. To be completely in the moment so that his reactions and actions seem completely natural. To be honest, I can only think of a handful of actors that successfully fit your definition of actor, in that they can play wildly divergent roles. (Edward Norton, for one.) However, many times that decision results in (to my eyes) a completely shallow and mannered "performance." Frankly, I would rather see an actor be completely in-the-moment, fully engaged in the story, rather than doing a bad Marlon Brando impersonation.

The movie has been screened in Japan, Germany, and London. Normally, several reviews should have appeared by now.

Seriously, man, give me a fucking break. OF COURSE you're not going to punch a rain cloud -- but that's the lamest comparison I've heard in ages. Bottom line: if you left the house and SAW that there were dark, stormy rain clouds in the sky and you didn't take an umbrella and your clothes got soaked, that's your own fault. Hell, even if it looked clear enough and a summer sprinkle shower erupted, that's just a whacky thing you chalk up to fate. But that's a fucking looooooooong ways away from a person PURPOSELY planning to soak you in advance...then PURPOSELY waiting you out -- just YOU, mind you, and not anyone else around...and then PURPOSELY soaking you to get it on world cameras and to try and make a name for yourself which is what this comedy show was ALSO clearly trying to do, namely get their name in the world press via their stunt. Sorry, but (pun aside) your analogy holds no water in this case. I agree with Triumph above: Cruise should have just claimed this was a potential attack or claimed the water did something to his eyes and then have his bodyguards beat the living life out of these morons. Let them see how THEY like making the news for having the tables turned on them and getting what THEY deserved.
-
...of Cruise getting sprayed in the face, and quite frankly I'm pretty puzzled as to how you bashers see this as some kind of smoking gun. I thought his reaction was pretty damn reasonable. How would you expect anyone in that situation to react, other than with the restrained "uh, WTF?" that Cruise had?
-
Look, I'm as annoyed by seeing his mug declaring his love every minute, and I'm not a big fan of his acting, though he's obviously made some good movies and I give anyone props for being on top for -- what? -- 20 years? But squirting water in a guy's face is the ultimate in lame ass stunts. I was standing on a street corner once waiting to cross the street and some fuckhead driving by hit me with water from one of those water rifles. Trust me. My first thought was it was piss. Thankfully, it wasn't. Afterwards, my mind raced with all the other shit it could've been, thoughts which turned to Hulk-like anger. I thought Cruise showed class towards someone who clearly had no intent but to embarrass him in front of an international audience. That Cruise didn't go all Russell Crowe on the ass fuck shows he's got some self control. And that he continued for an hour to hang with his fans (face it, he's got them) shows his class, something you lame wads could take a lesson in.
-
Its no more ridiculous or fantasy based than any other religion. Last I heard, Scientology never slaughtered millions of Muslims in the name of spreading the word of God.
-
Cruise was great in BORN ON THE 4TH and COLOR OF MONEY, which is two more great performances than Ashton Kutcher, Orlando Bloom, or whatever fancy pants pretty boy Tom Cruise wannabe can lay claim to.

I have to agree: Cruise showed alot of class by way of restraini
by commando cody
Guy Fawkes above with his story about being hit with a water rifle essentially mirrors the strong case Big Dumb Ape made as well: the truth is, if this bullshit stunt had happened to you, perhaps at first you'd be quizzical and say "what the hell?" but then most likely you'd definitely shift gears into PISSED mode. Let's cut the crap here, ok? As Big Ape correctly points out, these idiots at the TV station PRE-PLANNED this simply as a major league stunt to purposely draw attention to THEMSELVES. So let me get you "pro-tossing water supporters" right. You're saying we're supposed to salute morons for pre-planning a way to upset another human being or ruin a person's big day? We're supposed to salute morons for purposely staging the humiliation of another person on freakin' International TV all so they can get people to tune into them and thus be rewarded by making money off being total assholes? Sorry, but fuck them, fuck you, and fuck that entire bullshit ideology. Not to mention how utterly lame it is that you pro-water supporters have this truly whacked logic that equates Cruises' celebrity (or apparently ANYONE'S public stature or celebrity) with some kind of hunter's open season "they deserve to have water or any other shit tossed on them" stance. I mean seriously, THAT'S truly fucked up and really shows what emotionally stilted children -- or just jealous, petty adults -- you morons are as well.
-
I'm sure people who thought it was cool that Cruise got water sprayed on him laughed their ass off that Leonardo DiCaprio got his face slashed by some crazy woman. This whole open season on celebrities is out of control, indeed; especially coming from a bunch of fuckwads who'd give their left nut to be a celebrity.
-
But damn it looks great! According to the makers this is more personal than big-action blockbuster, but I surely hope they have some ID4-style massive destruction scenes in it.
-
The Midget_King especially posted a staggeringly stupid post. I've never seen a whole arguement utterly distroyed by a single person. All the anti-Tom posters have now lost what little credibility they had to begin with. The fact of the matter is: Anyone who thinks that the phoney reporter got the best of Tom is a fuckin idiot. I just reviewed the tape. The guy just stands there and mumbles like a knuckle-dragging mouth-breather. But hey, if people want to sh!t on TC and defend a fuckin un-articulate moron, be my guest.
-
From reading the earlier posts in this thread I'd become convinced that the AICN talkbackers had reached a new level of mental retardation. (LOL! Cruise went nuts like a scared bitch. Fuck that gaylord!). However, it's been mildly reasssuring to read the most recent collection of posts--ones apparently written by actual Junior High graduates.

by tonywilson
No one has the right to go around squirting people in the face. Being a celebrity does not mean people have carte blanche to play stupid jokes on you. Cruise, for all his faults acted normally out there he was shocked then pissed off. That's a normal reaction to being sprayed in the face. I can't believe so many whiny fuckers are on AICN declaring it the greatest thing they have ever seen. As for whichever dumb fuck on here is going on about the Cruise defenders wanting some sort of invitation to go hang with TC, WTF? are you that seriously skewed in your life, that you think anyone who agrees that spraying water in someone'e face is fucking stupid, is obviously just trying to make TC like them??? You are a bloody emotionally retarded amoeba. Grow the fuck up.
-
My sister's friend's brother's cousin's hairdresser is Katie Holmes' personal assistant's hairdresser, and she said that all those girlfriends Tom supposedly dated were just something his publicist cooked up. When I heard that I was like, "Uh uh, girlfriend! No you didn't!" But it gets even better! You're right about Katie just wanting Tom for the publicity. My cousin's friend's ex-husband works for the ad-agency that's promoting War of the Worlds, and he swears that whenever Tom and Katie are alone with no cameras around, Tom's all like, "Katie, can we make out?" And she's all like, "Talk to the hand!" And I can believe it too! I was gonna see War of the Worlds but after hearing what phonies Tom and Katie are, I'm having doubts.
-
Sorry, crotchrocket. That was way more sarcasm than you deserved. It's just that when you started talking about Katie Holmes, I saw the opportunity for a wise-ass response and I went for it.
-
The only reason why people are paying any attention to this CULT is because of this faggot tom cruise. Let's face it: you need MONEY and LOTS and LOTS of money in order to join scientology. If you dont have a credit card ready then you may end up on a boat out at sea with a gun pointed at your head. Shit man, what kind of fucking religion will turn your ass over to a collection agency for not paying for your "readings" and shit? Catholocism, buddism, lutheran, methodist, baptist....they are all flawed religions in their own right. However if I am a catholic and want to LEAVE the faith for whatever personal reason...then thats FINE. Scientologists are sad stupid people who actually FEAR, that's right: FEAR reading the higher texts of their religion because they are brainwashed to think something "bad" will happen to them. I was raised a lutheran and my church, bless their heart, STILL acknowledges me as a member of the church even though I have'nt sent money in years. If I were to be lying on my deathbed I know that a vicar or a pastor will be there with me. With scientology they WILL be there alright, but only if you have a major credit card handy.
Get right people: go to http://www.xenu.net and read away. VERY spooky shit. L. Ron Hubbard was and will always be the boo radley of religious cults. -
that british dude did'nt know what to do. "Jerk.....you jerk" (awkward pause) "Jerk....." (another awkward pause). Sorry, but I got so uncomfortable watching that. I think tom may have been on his period though. He should have just found some water and dumped it on the guy. that would have been funny. "Jerk...."

To reply to your silly comment, my life is pretty cool, and, although i found the whole thing very funny, at no point did it give me a boner (nope, not even a semi). I fail to see what on earth my laughing at tom getting soaked has got to do with you (unless you've suffered emotional distress over the whole terrible episode- and if that is the case, just sit down, breathe deeply and think of him in full top gun uniform.... there, that gets your blood flowing again eh? hmmmm?). I dont even dislike him, i just hate his fake 'mingle with the fans for 2 hours' crap. He should have punched the chap who squirted him, that'd be even funnier. I dont see you pulling up everyone else who said they liked it- perhaps you're just trying to flirt with me. Well, Im sorry, but it'd ruin our friendship.

I'm with you hoping BATMAN can do better, Crotchrocket...
by commando cody
The truth is it opened "ok" for a summer movie, but not really as strong as Warners had probably secretly hoped for deep down in their hearts. And it also now has the problem that it really only has this upcoming weekend to try and rake in whatever dough it can since WOTW will clearly demolish everything in sight come the following weekend. Hell, just wait till WOTW opens and compare it's numbers against BATMAN to see what a REAL blockbuster does when people are REALLY dying to see it. In fact, over at IMDB they summed it up in this news bit even comparing it to SITH (where the opening margin was about a whopping $100 million): "BATMAN BEGINS performed strongly overseas as well, but its debut was less than super. It took in $41.7 million at some 8,000 screens, but that figure was well below the $56 million earned by KINGDOM OF HEAVEN at 1,500 fewer screens earlier this year and a long way off the $144.7 million for STAR WARS: EPISODE III which registered $144.7 million at 10,500 screens. In several countries, including Australia, Spain, and the Netherlands, MADAGASCAR actually came in ahead of BATMAN BEGINS by a wide margin." If nothing else, I hope business stays slow, steady and sustained for BATMAN to drive its box office engine because personally I loved it and I definitely want to see Bale, Nolan and Goyer bringing us a second outing. BATMAN BEGINS wasn't only one of the best summer movies in ages, so far I think it's one of the best movies this whole year.

Bathafodder, read Triumph's rant again. You missed the whole
by commando cody
First off, Triumph didn't single you out. If you scroll back you'll see he wrote a post earlier essentially saying that anyone who thought the water tossing incident was funny was an idiot. So you're merely in the club. It's also clear from his post that he's pretty outraged that you actually think its "fucking excellent" (as you wrote and as he quoted you) to toss piss on a person. Which I have to say, I find equally reprehensible and subhuman in behavior as well. Dude, you start your reply by saying "Who gives you the right to tell me my opinion on the matter is right or wrong?" Well, the answer to that is all of us striving to show a basic human level of decency. Come on, Bantha, at one point you try to defend yourself by saying "I don't even dislike him", but then at the same time you're telling us you think it's "fucking excellent" to toss PISS on a guy? Triumph asked you point blank to defend THAT and you didn't. Instead you wrote a post of mock outrage, but you still didn't tell us why it's cool to toss fucking urine on an unsuspecting guy. And how that's actually funny. As for your other comment that "I just hate his fake mingle with the fans for 2 hours' crap", what the hell are you objecting to? Here's a news flash for you: if you don't like Cruise, DON'T go to his movies. Hell, if you dislike him that much, then certainly DON'T show up at a red carpet event looking to meet him. But if Cruise is nice enough to not only walk the carpet (and keep in mind these days some stars won't even do that anymore) AND he's willing to arrive early or come back and stay late to spend a few hours doing pictures for fans or signing autographs, that seems like a pretty fucking cool fan-friendly gesture in my book. I mean how is a guy who takes extra HOURS of time to sign autographs for diehard fans or pose for photos for them doing a "fake" mingle? Hell, if that's the case, what constitutes a "real" mingle to you?

And i certainly didnt feel any outrage at his post, christ, if people are outraged over a tb from a stranger on aicn then theres something wrong. I stand by what i said, i thought it was funny- especially the 'jerk... jerk' part. (although, the 'fake' mingle statement didn't make much sense, so you got me there). when the same crew soaked sharon osbourne, here response was much better- tc should have done the same as her.

-
Yeah, he's been a bit flakey with all that Holmes business, but hell, maybe he really is in love.
Sharon Osbourne had the same treatment and she completely freaked. Cruise on the other hand, simply and calmly, remonstrated. It was a stupid prank with little or no point to it and Cruise called him on it. Simple.
Just stop whining you jealous fan boys- you ain't tapping Holmes. Deal with it. -
You can hate him or love him or just don't care for what he does or what he is or what he represents but it's not about that Tom Cruise was squirted with water. I'm not a Cruise fan and i never watched his movies only because he was in it and i think Scientology is a crazy sect as every other sect in the world. But this water thing was just NOT fucking funny! How the fuck would you feel if you are on a PR tour, dressed and walking on the carpet giving interviews for a big movie and then squirted with water?! I was actually surprised how cool Tom Cruise handled it and as a few already mentioned: Russell Crowe would have gone...
and back to topic:
Well it's just a concept art but as we already have seen a short glimpse in the trailer of the sinking ship i really hope that it will really look like the image with the Tripods in the backgound.
(oh and btw: Did you actually read the article and the interview with Spielberg?) -
Batman begins did 'ok' at the box office because it was an 'ok' film. Nothing more. Sure it was well acted, well scripted and the production was spot-on. But all it really amounted to was a car chase and a handfull of punch-ups. It didn't have half the entertainment value of Revenge of the Sith- even though it is arguably a 'better' film. War of the Worlds however, looks like it will be both. I just hope the aliens are presented in a way that is scientifically plausible- ie. So advanced they are almost completely invulnerable to human attack. I think the 'berg will deliver. He always does when it comes to sci-fi.

WOTW, although I'm looking forward to this the most of all the Summer behemoths could of been far more interesting. I just can't accept Cruise as everyman. This could have been the dark flipside of the same coin as Close Encounters. And Richard Dreyfuss was perfectly cast. A little unknown at the time and looked like a man off the street. Cruise looks like a stylist has designed a gritty docker wardrobe for him. And I bet Dreyfuss wouldn't get upset about water in his face. Todays Dreyfuss counterpart? John Favereau? Paul Giamatti? Paul Bettany? Don Cheadle? Philip Seymour Hoffman? John C Reily? Or how about Spielberg have a female lead?

Yeh im looking forward to WOTW but its more to do with the 'berg than Cruise.

"The loser Cruiser get spray by water and think its assault?! C'mon, Tom deserves this shit and I more is to follow."
To estlabish a prima facie case for tortious assault(so, we are in civil court -not criminal) the following elements must be proved:
1) an act by the defendant creating a reaonable apprehension in plaintiff of immdiate harmful or offensive contact to plaintiff's person...Certainly, here, being sprayed with water while wearing an expensive jacket in a public setting can be classified as offensive contact
2) Intent on the part of the defendant to bring about in the plaintiff apprehension of immediate harmful or offensive contact with the palintiff's person; and
3) causation
I wish I was the attorney for Cruise. It's a slam dunk caught on tape. -
Wow. An intelligent response. I hear what you're saying. But Cruise has a point. In this day and age drugs are so overused. If kids are having problems in their life, parents take them to shrinks and the shrinks give them Ritalin and God knows what else. It's become an epidemic. Cruise was just trying to say that drugs are not always the answer. Sure, he didn't need to bring Brooke Shields up, but he was making a viable point. Of course, the media just totally blew it out of proportion. They made it seem like he was calling her an idiot. He used her as an example and made a short comment that stated his point.
I'm Luthern, and I'm not advocating any type of "religion" that dismisses God. But if any of the public really knew anything about Scientology, they would see that the methods they use in regards to therapy, healings, and various learning and mental disabilities is actually quite effective and innocent. I don't agree with their form of hiarchy (sp?) or funding, but when you look at it with CONSTRUCTIVE criticism, you'll see that many of their methods work.
This whole Scarlett Johansen thing is bullshit as well. Again, the media has prevailed and have speculated to the extreme.
In regards to whiny bitches, I said it before and I'll say it again, if someone was printing outright lies about you, you would sue too. No matter what the subject. You can say, "I don't give a fuck what people say," but that's bullshit.
As far as Holmes goes? Hey, to each his own. I'm not going to defend him because there's nothing to argue. But let me ask you a question: Why isn't the media lambasting Brad Pitt's relationship with Angelina Jolie? She's only three years older than Katie. Brad is only a year younger than Tom. 12 years (Brad and Angelina) compared to 16 years (Tom and Katie). Self righteous prejudgement because of age is just ridiculous. Nobody rips on Nicholson who dates women 25 years than him. Once again, the media blows it out of proportion and people eat it up.
Sounds like I'm pro-Tom all of the way, but I'd say the same about almost anyone who has been the victim of tabloids and media. It's so ridiculous. These actors are just frickin' regular people with an extraordinary job. And the public has nothing better to do than to belive every little word that is written about them and judge their work based upon that. -

by the founder
some of you are @ssholes. sitting here belittling Tom Cruise cause the guy's rich and famous. Yeah he's not a geek favorite, cause the fanboys hate every good looking actor or successful celebrity. Why i don't know. I don't follow Tom Cruise's life and i don't give a d@mn about rather or not he's gay or that he's dating Katie Holmes, that's his personal life. Any people who actually take the time to follow the life of a celebrity has no fufullment in their own life. Sadly a lot of americans follow this hollywood entertainment industry about stars. I never understood it. Just enjoy their phucking movie and be done with. Do you give a shyt about the clerk at the Starbucks that you see everyday when getting your morning coffee? hell no, so why give a crap about a celebrity's life? just don't get how we as americans can allow them entertainment rags to make so much d@mn money by digging in people's personal lives. Go figure. I don't have a problem with Cruise, and i like him as an actor, but like him or not that was an uncalled stunt for that reporter to pull. It was disrespectful and tasteless. I found no humor in it, and I thought Tom handled it good. Anyone who calls attacks Crusie over his reaction is an @sshole themselves. The guy's giving an interview and this man pulls some crap like that. Tom is a better man then me, cause i would've hit him.
-
that when celebs start stading a few feet away from the fans and reporters, people will start calling them stuck up and all the other names in the book. The truth is that could've been anything but water, like piss or bleach. There are people out there who would do crap like that, so yeah i think celebs need to be careful now, especially after seeing that little stunt.
-
This is the talkback that gets the most traffic? A bunch of people discussing Tom and water bottles, and Tom being gay, and how is he with Holmes. etc., etc. Anyone who posted what they would have done, or how Tom is gay has no right to ever bitch about there not being any cool news for them, 'cause they seem to love this shit. And, sure this guy might be nutty, but like someone else said his cooky religion hasn't started any wars.
-
It's kind of funny to read people wondering why aliens would take over the earth using low tech tripod tanks etc. Remember the movie is based (loosly so it appears) on War of the Worlds... you know the book... by H.G. Wells where he described the alien machines as... guess what? Giant Tripods!
Spielberg also said he wanted to go back to an ominous image of the giant machines looming over the human race and NOT like the 50's War of the World flying boomerang machines (although I thought they looked pretty retro-cool with their street-light ray blasters)

when he was a private movie star who cranked out the hits avoiding the limelight - save for the occasional tom cruise 'saves citizen' story - he was uch more respected and had more of a movie star mystique about it, a certain stoic professionalism.

This is a long and ignorant talkback. Since I am sure no one will read this, I will admit that I am Tom Cruise and you can all suck my balls. I have fucked more hot chicks in the last 5 years than most of you will in your entire life. Let's review, Kidman, Cruz, and Holmes to name three.
I did not punch that water spraying idiot in the face, not because I was scared of getting my ass kicked, but because it was Katie's pissed off cousin and she would not have licked my balls if I fattened his lip.
Anyway, you can all take straw and eat my fucking diarrhea.
By the way all you haters will still see War of the Worlds (not WOTW you idoit fanboys) because you have no lives. When you do, know that you are just making me richer, and helping me get more pussy.

their world were completely wasted. Now the ending, I'm not
so sure about the "plausibility" factor. For those that
haven't seen the old movie or read the book ******************
POSSIBLE SPOILER AHEAD************************************
****************** The aliens died from microbes (that was
in the book wasn't it? Can't remember) in our atmosphere.
Ok, I know it has to be done like that, because it's not
about our technology or one man that defeats the invaders,
it was the simplest thing like microbes. But if
such aliens can travel through space and use ray guns,
why don't they have some kind of detector or scanner
for the atmosphere? I have some doubts these questions will be
answered in the new movie, because it's not about those things,
and it won't be close to the original.
Ultimately it's about the struggle and reactions of humans through such
horrific event. Focus from one man and his children's perspective. -
Give the guy a break, he's only human. He's doing some weird stuff in public right now but that don't mean he's a bad actor.

I am so glad I grew up in the 70s and 80s, when the studios didn't give away everything about the movie before the opening day. I know all the teens and 20-somethings of today have Attention Defit Disorder and all... but shit. If I had seen concept art, stills and revealing TV spots from Close Encounters prior to seeing it in the theatre, it would have completely ruined the impact of the arrival of the mothership. Studios today are freaking lame. I had to blur my eyes just to enter this talkback. Jeeez.

Seriously, getting really bored of the Tom Cruise ranting on this talkback. If your really more interested in celebrity gossip than alien invasion, there's no point you even seeing the film.
Oh and Harker-Writes, thanks a bloody bunch for raining on our parade.
