If I could also say a little bit more on his scientology beliefs, he refused to allow his girlfriend to use any painkillers during her labour and then told her that she had to suffer any resulting pain in silence. This is what those looney cultists call a 'silent birth'. I'm also certain that it was a man who came up with this idea and I doubt he asked for a woman's opinion.
Also, to return to Paramount dismissing Mr. Cruise while staying on the subject of scientology; it's a welcome sight to see a studio distancing itself from one of the cult's more vocal members. Scientologists have had too much persuasion in the movie business for too long. They're practically the Hollywood mafia.

Hey, JYAMG. Good to see you. Great post, BTW.
Scientology is not a religion. Scientology is the abandonment of religion.
I'd like a qui-gon jinn please with an obi-wan to go.

Another thing, when "The Last Samurai" came out, all these people flocked to the martial arts store that I go to and bought out all of the bokken (oak training sword). I needed one bad! I just broke one and I needed a replacement! All these kids were in there because of Tom Cruises crap performance. It was the latest trend! I hated what I saw! Tom Cruise posters all over the martial arts store!

As for The Last Samurai, Tom Cruise's skill as a swordsman while filming just looked choreographed. As with most sword fights or lightsaber battles we see in film, they all look choreographed compared to actually fighting with the sword or boken. Like I said, the best scene in The Last Samurai was when Cruise had the mess beat out of him by that mean Japanese instructor. You could tell that he has trained for years with the sword and he knew what he was doing, even when just whackin' away at Tom. Poor Tom Cruise just looked too stiff with the sword. Then when he showed up on Oprah and had the audacity to show his sword swinging skills, it was just pathetic. I thought he got a lot more training with the sword while onset.... I guess not. And to add to the problem, when he was on Oprah, he looked like he didn't even want to be there showing off his "technique."

And no,
Superman Returns sucked.
*Denial
*Grief
*Acceptance
I have accepted it. It is time you all did, too.

As for Superman Returns, I don't like Superman much at all so I did not see it. I only liked Superman when he got a dose of red kryptonite. That was funny!
