Is Stauffenberg's middle name Xenu?

Does he explode his Operating Thetans?

Inquiring Minds want to know...

I hate Cruise and his crackpot religilous, but Im glad someone has finally had the courage to make this movie. I remember decades ago when this was supposed to be a Schwartzeneggar project - anyone else recall that? Got temporarily postponed so he could do a little low-expectation sci fi flick called Terminator. When that became a franchise, his nazi movie was shelved.

I'm glad they're dispensing with that nonsense. They're Germans in Germany, I think the audience can figure out that we're supposed to "pretend" they're speaking German.

In any case, I wasn't referring to Singer's (in)ability to film action, but the scope and scale of the film and how it is shot. Didn't mean to get your panties in a knot, but Singer seems to always confine his shots to sets the size of a few classrooms. Now, I admit, I did see a scene or two in the trailer that showed an actual honest-to-God wide angle lense, but mostly the film looks as clostrophobic and small as every other Singer film. And please, don't give me the nonsense that Superman was huge or on a grand scale; all I saw were PJ shots (ie, close-ups of actors and real stuff and wide shots for cg).

Why not just use the James Bond theme or the Indiana Jones theme? Those aren't noticeable...

It is interesting that the holocaust is an undercurrent of this movie ‘we must stop this ect’, and yet scientologist deny it. and singer is gay, and scientology is anti gay.

Accents: cause there is only one german accent right? Cause a dude in texas sounds just like a dude in boston.

plasticman2000: I don’t really care about the accent argument but people in early Norman England would not have what we would call a proper English accent. In fact depending on which legend you subscribe to the authority figures would all speak French, and the lower class people would speak something similar to german, or at it’s most similar to us would speak like the characters in Canterbury tales. Any way the language was way less homogeneus (as usual the bible was one of the things that brought the dialects together) and totally different to how it is today. Hmm. I can bang on about this. My missus is a speech therapist and tells me that the English accent changed a little after the settlement of America. It was called the great vowel shift. Consequently in many ways the American accent is more similar to olde worlde English than that of say London because they did not change as much. in many ways it is less the case that americans have changed than it is that the english changed, and the american settlement predates that change (although there is obvious influence from other languages)

Praise Xenu, baby, my first check's in the mail.

This is all about low-hanging fruit and the nervous little skeptics who pluck it, unable to muster the balls of a Dawkins, a Maher or a Harris, who actually take on the "Big Three" (Christianity, Judaism and Islam) with similar zest.

I say, be all-inclusive with your atheism, or run the risk of looking like a small-minded bigot singling out Tom Cruise for his wacked-out beliefs, but giving a day-pass to Sarah Palin for hers. Where's your backbone?

But to believe something just because it's "old"? Because everybody you know has a copy of your book and buys into it, even though it's inconsistent and unverifiable? And knowing full well it comes from a time when they thought that the Earth was flat and was at the center of the universe?

Now, THAT'S retarded. Leave Tom Cruise's ditzy beliefs alone...you're surrounded by gullibility and manipulation.
