Not for those with weak stomachs...
 

Happened upon this image just this afternoon while "Old Time Rock n Roll" was playin on the desktop radio... almost hurled my lunch right there.

As distasteful as I find Tom Cruise, I read your thread title and thought, 'Nuts, what am I going to have to delete now?' I figured that I was in for much worse, and was relieved to see that pic.

Carry on.

Yeah, I cannot wait for the really bad accent he will probably use. So much other talent out there and this is what they come up with. Oh well, I wait until it hits the bargin bin.

Poor bugger obviously needs the money :p

Is that what I think it is? :down:

I'll be waiting a lot longer than that.:dead:

I would even avoid a Video store of that one :rotfl:
and I would pay a fee for not RENTING it

Haven't the Germans made a few movies on this subject already, anyway? :-?

Yes. At least three.

We all need to have Hollywood twist it to their liking for ticket sales!!! Come on, you know the drill!

Tom Cruise as Von Stauffenberg is some what insulting to the memory Stauffenberg, this is a miss cast no question. :nope:

Hey, it might be good. I'm already enjoying these critics who haven't seen it.

I have seen enough of his work to get a good idea on the outcome of the movie.

The end result of a film is never dependent on a single actor.
I've seen enough of Bryan Singer directing to expect etc
Same goes for the writing team, the producer, art design, historical advisers, photography, fellow cast members.

Stephen Fry, Bill Nighy, and Kenneth Branagh are also in this film. Of course, that doesn't tell us anything about the final quality.

But no, it's "Hollywood", so it's an immediate disservice to the memory of etc etc

Exactly. Hollywood is looking for ticket sales. Throw in an actor who is still somewhat popular, twist the story quite a bit and throw in a behind the story love story....oh yeah, much like the last Pearl Harbor movie:hmm:

I was joking. "Hollywood" is a studio system that has produced some wonderful cinema. And a lot of rubbish. Which is why in order to judge a film for yourself, you have to actually watch it.

I know you were joking Tchocky. Let me ask you this, you have watched Das Boot, yes? Now, remove the "Old Man" as the captain and put in Tom Cruise or Ben Affleck as Captain of the uboat. I do not believe we would have the classic we have now concerning Das Boot. I do not believe Cruise acting ability can carry this role. Just my perspective on Tom Cruise and his ability for this role. Do not get me wrong, he was cast well for some movies he has done. This one I do not believe is one of them.

Tom Cruise as Claus Von Stauffenberg.

I really wish I hadn't heard or seen that. Oh, well. I suppose in the Hollywood version he kills Hitler AND gets the girl....

eh... we'll see, might still be good.

There are a few entertainers that I just don't enjoy watching anymore due to their oddball beliefs. Have to admit though crazy as he is... Tom in that role annoys me less than say, Tim Robbins.

War of the Worlds was indeed a true horror movie. If only they found a way to get Rosie and Tim's wife in there I woulda scratched my own eyes out...
