Funny, that's what my mother's been saying about it. I don't really care, but she's excited about it because she used the War of the Worlds radio broadcast in her English class (she's a teacher). Her only problem is that she's pissed off with Tom Cruise because he's been such an ass-hole.
Check out my crappy drawings!

I was actually indifferent to Cruise until the other day. Hes in Japan promoting War of the Worlds (translated as Uchu Sensou- `War in Space’. Yeah, good job fellas), and he was walking down the red carpet to the (world) premiere in Tokyo. There was a show on TV which chose one high school student to interview Fanning, Speilberg and Cruise, and the kid who won was understandably nervous as hell (he coundnt speak English). But Cruise was really good to him, encouraging him to ask his own questions, and giving him a lot more time than he gave to the other stooges lined up to question him. He just came off as an all round good egg, not as a faceless publicity stunt.

yah but tom cruise looks good in this.
OK, Tom Cruise has suceeded in making himself the focal point of the film. Now, the film itself? Cruise is Cruise, like him or not, but the movie itself is an amalgamation of everything wrong in the movie business today: stars instead of characters, lazy fat-cat directors, redundancy of script, plot and design, unoriginality...on and on.
Cruise is neither the good nor the bad element in this total piece of crap being served up by Spielberg.

I used to like Cruise alot until recently, I think the cruise that berated Matt Laurer and came off as a narcassistic, condescending ass is closer to the real man than the one that was overly nice on camera to a kid who did not speak english.
I have a friend here in NYC that worked as an extra on War of the Worlds, and he said Cruise was surrounded by 20 handlers non-stop and no one was allowed to speak to him. This man has been a white hot, ridiculously rich celebrity for the better part of 20 years now. Reality has long left this man's consciousness.

I can't feel sorry for Lauer. It's great to see a talking head posing as a journalist get taken to task by an actor who is not playing his role. Lauer, and all these tv buffoons who just spew the lines force fed them, need to be held responsible for their misinforming of the masses.
I loved it, in fact, I like Cruise more for it.
The next Today show sweeps program: "Where in the world are Matt Lauer's facts"
winning guess: in the cue card guy's hands!
