Subject: Tom Cruise.

Written By: Gis on 01/30/06 at 9:25 am

Now he is a man I have never liked, but this last bit of celeb gossip if it is true, is unbelievable.

Apparently for Katie's birthday he gave her a bespoke set of all his films on DVD !?! Is there no end to the man's arrogance?? Mind you I guess she is too young to have seen alot of them. ;D

I must admit that I liked Tom Cruise when he did Risky Business but over the years he had just gotten more and more obnoxious and arrogant.  I think that Nicole is SOOOOO much better off without him. I really do believe that he surpressed her career and what happened after they split? She won an Oscar (he never did).

I feel bad for Katie. Maybe someday she will wise up.

Tom Cruise is an ass-clown.  He's like this Mr. Big time movie star.  Hell, there are millions of actors who can act better than he can  ::)

I only really liked him in Legend.  I liked a few of his other movies, but I wouldn't go out of my way to watch them

What is it with people's hatred for history? This is the fourth topic I've seen that just has an essense of pure intolerance for love of historical arts.  "He wouldn't have listened to that song, it was written before he was born."  "How could you like Andy Griffith, you're only 20 years old!".  Where is it written that I, born in 1985 can't enjoy music from the 1960's?  Why do I feel such a force to be subjected only to "my" era of culture?  Are reruns only for those who experienced the entertainment at the time, or are they not for new generations to enjoy as well?  My radio dial is tuned to "Oldies" and it'll stay there.

To call the cookie sweet but not the candy bar?  Nicole Kidman is just as arrogant and full of herself if not a lot more than Tom Cruise.  Thinking of all the "good" deeds each has done, more is the word for Cruise and not as many the word for Kidman.

Tom Cruise is nothing special, working at FBO at the airport in Oakland, CA, I saw Tom walking fast down the stairs from a private jet to his limo not even knowing that was him until my co worker mentioned it to me.  Now if Nicole was by his side, that would have been special!!! :o 
Heard there are rumors of Tom being gay and his female relationships are just a cover up.  Don't know, just something I have been told by a relative that used to be a intern at a LA entertainment TV show.

Well it may or may not be true.  I have a friend in the movie business in L.A., and my sister is in the music
industry and there are alot of people living dual lives.  It took me a long time to believe that Rock Hudson
was gay.  "Did you hear about Rock Hudson and Jim Nabors?"  I waited for the punchline, seriously, for a
couple of years, until Rock admitted to having aids. If he isn't so what, if he is so what, if he is and is putting
on a big show to counter the argument, well then he is doing a lot of emotional damage to at least one very young
seemingly naive person, and that is not right.

My overall point was my own incredulity for a man who could buy his girlfriend his own movies for her birthday, I mean that has to be someone who loves themselves *so* much.
           
Good god, you really couldn't have insulted me more by implying I am intolerant of history or historical performing arts.For the record I work in one of the world's most famous libraries because I love history and books. I have never, and would never say somone shouldn't enjoy classics whatever their form and anyone who does think like that quite frankly is a prat !

Once again, you have manage to take a thread WAY off topic. We were talking about how Tom Cruise has a big ego and is so full of himself and why that seems to bother you, I have no idea. Tom Cruise is a public figure-like many others whether they be celebrities or political figures. The KNOW that once they hit the public, they are subject to ridicule as well as praise. That is just part of the territory. But you seem to be taking this too personally. I agree with Crazymom, you need to lighten up. Unless you just like to argue and find ANYTHING to argue about. And if that is the case, you seem to be doing a good job with it.

Apparently I'm in the minority, I like Tom Cruise.  He's usually a pretty good actor, he takes on a wide variety of roles in my opinion, some are better then others.  I read somewhere that he often helps local causes where he's shooting films, in one instance putting money in a can for a sick kid at the local Dairy Queen where he was filming, although it was probably his assistant, I can't imagine him getting his own food.  But anyways, I wonder if what is perceived as his arrogance, is about defending himself about not being gay (which would have a tremendous effect on getting romantic leads).  I'm sure the DVDs weren't the only thing he did for her birthday, for goodness sake, he bought a freakin' sonogram machine when she got preggers, and is donating to some clinic that needs it after they have the baby. 

I like him as an actor, and really haven't seen anything that shows me he is evil incarnate.  He has some really strong religous beliefs that I don't happen to agree with and he has insulted people in the name of his religion.  There *are* other religions that do the same thing (insult people) because they don't happen to agree with their teachings.  He probably went too far lately in alot of his public dealings, but that is his perogative.

I think it's amazing he's done 33 films in 25 years, alot of them quality.  I, myself, can't even imagine being away from my family for that long.  Each movie (except for Eyes wide shut which took over a year of filming) usually takes about 3 or 4 months to film.

Anyways, I guess I've probably overstated my point, but I think he's ok, just about as good as any other Hollywood actor who has been in the business that long.

I don't think Katie's all that naive.  I'm sure if this is the "arrangement" many rumor it to be, she knew exactly what she was doing when she agreed to it.  This gives her exposure that she likely wouldn't have gotten otherwise.  She is not a sexpot type like many of the more popular actresses in her age group, and the public seems to want that.  Whether or not he is gay -- and I find it easy to believe he is -- she did this to get her face out there.  Definitely not for love.

Tom Cruise isn't that bad.  I mean, a lot of celebrities have fallen more, and even if he fell to the lowest point he'd still be a good entertainer. Scientology is BS, but there's no reason people shouldn't be allowed to believe in what I label BS.

AFA Tom Cruise being gay, if he IS, would that change your opinion about his acting abilities or his movies?  I could care less what a person does with another consenting adult behind closed doors.  It's not going to change my opinion of him/her.  If only everyone could be so open-minded ::)


If Tom cruise ends up being a homosexual he's still going to be one of my favorites. The poster I have of him on my wall with a saying that keeps me plugging along isn't going anywhere.  For the fact of the matter, you only think you're open minded, and you're open minded to the ideas inwhich you see favorable.  I'm just as open minded as you are.

I agree.  I kind of feel that some children of the '60s, '70s, '80s, etc. want me to like emo, MTV rap, and reality shows, and that I am unwelcome to like stuff from before I can remember/was alive.

You ever get pressure from the other side.  Like some of the "popular" crowd doesn't accept you because you're not into Rap music or you don't happen to like the new teeny bopper movie that recently came out?  They laugh at me for having a favorite actor that starting acting in films in 1940's and has been gone from us since 1995.  They think the new and young stars they name off are so talented and absolutely amazing. Some of the are exactly that.  However, a lot of them are mediocre talent caught up in the mainstream of popularity that will soon fade away into a forgotten era whereas the actors I praise will forever be remembered.

The poster I have of him on my wall with a saying that keeps me plugging along isn't going anywhere.  For the fact of the matter, you only think you're open minded, and you're open minded to the ideas inwhich you see favorable.  I'm just as open minded as you are.



You have a poster of Tom Cruise on your wall?

You ever get pressure from the other side.  Like some of the "popular" crowd doesn't accept you because you're not into Rap music or you don't happen to like the new teeny bopper movie that recently came out?   They laugh at me for having a favorite actor that starting acting in films in 1940's and has been gone from us since 1995.  They think the new and young stars they name off are so talented and absolutely amazing. Some of the are exactly that.  However, a lot of them are mediocre talent caught up in the mainstream of popularity that will soon fade away into a forgotten era whereas the actors I praise will forever be remembered.


Actually, I home school, but on the rare occasion that I do get out, I do sort of get sucked into the moment.  

Trends are always annoying, but at least back in the day there were trends, rather than simply the same old thing.

I think the Boomer generation is very "elitist" about their stuff.  They act like the Beach Boys, Stones, Beatles, etc. mean the same thing to X and Y as it did to them, which really isn't true.  Most Gen Xers will admit that their time wasn't a Utopian era, and Y probably will too.

If it won't change your opinion of him, why are you so pissy about people saying he might be gay?  No, I'm open minded about pretty much everything...I'd like you to name 1 thing that I'm not open-minded about (other than pedophilia or anything else illegal)....I can name quite a few that you AREN'T: 

Closed-minded thinking:  Homosexuality is wrong!!!
Open-minded:  Hey, it's not for me, but who am I to say what 2 consenting adults do?

Closed-minded thinking:  God is the ultimate power!!!
Open-minded:  I'm not sure, but more power to you for believing in him.

Closed-minded thinking:  I'm always right!!!
Open-minded:  I always think I'm right, but willing to accept I'm wrong if someone proves otherwise.

Closed-minded thinking:  Everyone who does not believe in Christianity is trying to eliminate it.
Open-minded thinking:  To each his/her own.


I don't think homosexuality is wrong, I just don't think it's necessarily right.  I have gay friends whether you want to believe me on that statement or not.  I have 3 gay friends and 2 lesbian ffriends. I don't see them having an easier time getting to Hell than me or a harder time getting to Heaven than other christians.

God is the ultimate power is a not a closed minded statement, it is a statement inwhich shows the strength of faith.  You don't believe it whole heartedly, well then you don't I guess, I on the other hand believe in full effort. Everything you got.

I don't think I'm always right.  Much to the truth I try and come up with the best explanation I can, but I'm not always right.  Sometimes I'm right, sometimes I'm wrong.  I won't be told that the Texas chainsaw Massacre really happened anymore than I'll be told that MY favorite team is the Chicago Whitesox.  Texas Chainsaw Massacre didnt' happen, I know that for a fact.  It is not my opinion or how I feel, it is a fact.  Toby Hooper the screenwriter/producer/director/creator himself said is never really happened but was loosely loosely based on stories his uncles and cousins told him about the real life Eddy Gein of Plainfield, Wisconsin.  When I know I"m right, I won't back down.  Other than that, like recently in life decisions I"ve found out that I was wrong.  I'm much more humble than you'll ever care to know.  

Everyone who is trying to eliminate christianity, is trying to eliminate Christianity.  That's why I beleive.

just as you say that he is not gay...whose to say that he isn't? Nobody knows one's sexual orientation, that it unless they "come out" publically. Do you have solid, 100% proof that he is indeed straight as a board?  Maybe he is bisexual and likes to swing both ways? Nobody (including you) knows for sure who someone else is attracted to. ::)

That's all fine and dandy, you're not the one thats at stake here. Mr. Cruise is.

you're close minded to anything that puts control back int hands of a moderator.

well if we are going to discuss Tom Cruise in general.
I think he is a great actor and has made some fantastic films, but as he's got older I've found his attitude harder and harder to accept. His recent comments on treating mental illnesses like schizophrenia with vitamins are plain stupid, and comments attacking women who have suffered with post natal depression are crass and insensitive to say the least !
I also hate the way he has that Mel Gibson need to rewrite history now he's producing his own films. I won't even start on the scientology stuff.I believe each to their own with religeon but people have the right to make their own choices and not be told what they must follow.

Since when is being called gay and insult.  For it to be an insult means that it has derogatory connotations.  I don't know any gay people(and I do know a few) who consider being mistaken for a heterosexual as an insult.  People do, for whatever reasons,
speculate on other peoples sexuality.  I will bet more than a few raise eyebrows at your poster of Tom Cruise.

My poster of Tom Cruise is a motivational poster with him in his high school wrestling warm up that reads, "I Blew my knee out, my wrestling career was over. I tried out for a play, and I got the lead part."  It doesn't raise to many eyebrows.

I STILL don't see how TC is "at stake" by people thinking he might be gay.  If he ends up being gay, yeah, there will be some bigoted people who won't watch his movies anymore because of it, but there will be just as many who will START because of it.

And, I still don't see how someone thinking you are gay is an insult.  If you KNOW you aren't, then what's the big deal?  Why is it so important what other people think about you?  Obviously, you see being gay as "bad" and "straight" as "good".  People are wrong about me all the time and it doesn't bother me, why is it such a big deal to you?


Oh come on, you're not that niave to not know how insulting it is to be called something you are not.  I didn't skate around the question, I saw it exactly how I see it.  If you're not intune enough to know how much of an effect being called gay and inventually names like fag would be to Tom Cruise, we'll I give you way to much credit.

I too think it is damaging to a person's character if they are insinuated as being gay if they aren't.  Perhaps my thinking is warped too, I guess.  I don't see anything wrong with being gay if you are.  I know a guy that won't come out that he is gay because he thinks that his grandmother won't be able to handle it.  That is his decision, if he chooses to live his life under the cover of being gay, that is his decision.  The same should be said with a straight person being accused of being gay.  Why can't we accept people for who and what their personalities are, what does it even matter who is straight or who is gay?  I prefer to like Tom because I think he's a great actor. 

My ex-husband, bullied me into accepting his divorce proposal by telling me he would tell the court that I was gay and there wasn't anything I could do about it.  Meanwhile, his girlfriend sat out in the waiting area and was pointing and laughing at me when the court was over.  Yes, I let him manipulate me by his telling a lie (or several), I *should* have stood up for myself, but by that point, I didn't want to be married to him anymore anyways, and nothing would have been gained if I'd fought that accusation.  My point being, I guess, that the mere threat was enough to keep me under control.  Hindsight is 20/20.  I was not strong enough to fight it then, it's ancient history now.

Not always, Danoota... I would be insulted if someone thought I was a man... I don't have a masculine voice, but one time at a drive through speaker I was called "sir" and I would have been insulted except I know it was only because of a speaker malfunction...  I don't think "sir" is a derogatory term...

As far as Tom Cruise, there is nothing wrong with saying that it's been speculated that he's gay... Nobody on this board is claiming he's gay, they are just relaying that rumors have been published.  The fact that rumors of him being gay have been published is 100% true, but these people weren't the starters of the rumors... so if you have a problem with it, you should write to the National Enquirer and complain...

Insults only hurt if you believe them, which many people do because they simply assume there's truth to it even if there's not a grain of accuracy.  If you don't buy into an insult, you're just playing the victim.  The only exception is if it's from someone you like, because that means they don't like you as much as you think.

Two random facts that just by fluke happen to form an implicit comparison? Just like, if I say: "Dan Marino was a quarterback. Tom Cruise wasn't." in that proximity, I'm contrasting the two, even if I use two independent sentences...?

my attitude on that, getting called "gay," is if it's meant as an insult, i'm liable to take it as one. there's a lot of other stuff at work here, such as the notion of conventional masculinity being viewed as a burden, so that if someone questions your masculinity and your attitudes about it are fairly conservative or what have you, you're likely to feel like your manhood is being challenged. i find the whole ritual rather silly but a lot of people take it deadly seriously.

there's this great james jones quote from his from-here-to-eternity trilogy about masculinity as being like a river that finds its own way to the sea. very nice, and it totally goes to that masculinity is a quality you have as a man rather than something you have to continually reaffirm. james jones was really into that i think because he was viscerally antiwar and so many men go to war to prove that they're "men" and then come back broken. whether they're gay or not. and if this view of masculinity was done away with in favor of a healthier view of what it means to be a man, we'd go quite a long way toward putting an end to war. assuming that's something we're still trying to do, which at the moment doesn't appear to be the case.

sorry to digress.

That's a very good way of looking at it, and confines to Tom Cruise. Tom Cruise claims to be heterosexual. He does nothing to indicate being other than straight.    He has children.  He's about to have another child with Katie Holmes.  Calling him gay is an insult, it can't be anything else, due to the given circumstances.

I've seen people be called Gay that weren't gay before, seen girls come to tears for being called a lesbian, ain't much silly about that, nothing silly about it at all actually.  I stuck up for them before, I'll do it again.

Written By: Harmonica on 02/03/06 at 11:20 pm


AAAAAAAH

You keep taking one context and applying it to another. Of course being insulted isn't ever good when something is meant as an insult. But nobody here wanted to insult Tom Cruise. The circumstances of his life you posted are all correct, but the conclusion you drew does not follow. All of these could apply to a gay man, even though, again, I am also under the impression that Tom isn't one. Television's Degrassi: The Next Generation dealt with a very similar circumstance, in which a couple with a seemingly happy marriage and two lovely children broke up when the husband could no longer take keeping up the appearance of heterosexuality. As someone who took such offense at implications that you might not be able to appreciate the arts, you know as well as I do that art imitates life. It may not be common, but it happens. And all that occurred here was that someone threw out that it might be the case here. Not that it is the case, not that Tom Cruise would be less of a person/an actor/a man were it the case, not anything other than that it might be.

Really, I think it's admirable for someone to stick up for those who are being insulted. I truly do respect you for that. I just don't think it's great to defend someone who was never attacked.


The person who initially made the "gay" remark on Tom Cruise, does not like Tom Cruise.  The context inwhich they wrote it in, points directly towards an insult.  It was not written as the man could be a heterosexual, it was written as "ha, the man could be a heterosexual" and I don't have time for quote for quote...the main jest is all I need.

Secondly, being gay only makes someone a non heterosexual that's all. Nothing more, nothing less.  If Tom Cruise does happen to be Gay, well he's still a great actor and a movitation to me.  I've known other gay people in my life, some of them I like, some of them I don't.  Same with heterosexual's, some of them I like some of them I don't.  I judge people based on the principles of one of my hero's Dr. Martin Luther King Jr, not by the color of their skin, or in this case the attraction to another human being, but by the content of their character.

Thirdly, the man came out and said he was gay. He was gay. He made it obvious he was gay. So you call him gay, I doubt he'd mind.

i have no inside information on this but my guess is that gay people in heterosexual relationships/marriages is probably rather common, and it's pretty sad. there's so much pressure to deny that identity, and particularly because so many people treat it as an insult, or that you're somehow less than others because you're gay. i bet fifty years ago a lot of people would be surprised we're still even dealing with that kind of cultural backwardness. people are people!

And, once again, you got the original quote wrong (bold added by me):
He also never said he didn't like TC, he just said he was "nothing special".  There IS a difference.....it simply means that TC's not his favorite actor.  There was NOTHING in that quote that was insulting.  Like Cat, I had a friend who was a lesbian so people automatically assumed I was as well.  I didn't take it as an insult, it was just a misconception that someone had about me.  I also have some friends who are ditzy so people automatically assume I am as well.....it's no big deal....

Speculation on TC's sexuality has been around for YEARS.  Whether he is or not is not going to hurt his career one bit.  If his rants and raves about Scientology haven't, being called gay certainly won't ;D

Methinks thou doth protest too much.....

The art of persuasion means nothing to you? Get real.  Me, someone who doesn't get along with you 85% of the time,  know's good and well that's one of your strong points. Something your good at! Don't deny it.  You can say and do plenty to prove your heterosexual or that you're homosexual.  What you say and do in the company of others has not everything but a lot to do with the way people persieve you.  You grab womans butt and plant one on her, it'll help the accusations fly.  You do what you can in your power to show that you're not gay it will make those rumors fade out into the false obilivion that they are.  Don't tell me that nothing you say or do can change they way they think. 

You could use a tuck in there yourself sister.  Admitting something takes more courage and intellectual stand than trying to act perfect and impeccable, but like the jerk with the girl, it isn't as "cool".  Tom Cruise has millions upon million of people he has to answer to, who do you have to answer to?  A few hundred? The numbers do make  difference. 

The only thing left to do is to see a large sum of people make the accusations fly about you, and admire the coolness and humility you show about being the secretive town lesbian.

Me, too!  There are many reasons why people question a persons life/sexuality.  If you are a decent person doing the right thing everyday what people say about you is their issue, not yours.  See, I wonder about the fact that Harm has a poster of Tom Cruise on his wall.  The guys I know would never(after the age of 16 or so) hang up a poster of another guy in their room. That shouldn't in anyway determine for him whether or not to leave the poster up on his wall.  If it does then he is allowing me to make a determination on the way he conducts his life and that would not be right.

I once watched a teen television special and the discussion was about a teen girl, very sure of herself, who said that she would not read anything written by a homosexual because homosexuality was against the word of god(of course, that would be her reason)  A teen asked her if she would refuse to read the words of slaveholders(the teen asking was African American) since they had engaged in the evil of buying and selling babies, splitting up families, and brutalizing them.  The girl then got the "deer in the headlights" look.  She didn't know what to say, fumbled a bit, then said "of course", but it was very obvious to all that her answer was disingenious.  She did not regain her composure after that.  So I wonder if Angelina/homosexuals are the only ones these  people exclude, if so how do they justify reading and studying others who have done things that they also consider against the word of god.

Because HE doesn't want it to be that way. HE doesn't want you to think he's gay. HE doesn't want false rumors spread about him.  HE doesnt' want to be treated as something that HE is not.  That's why, you and everybody else shouldn't call him gay.

In reality I'm sure he's far to busy getting on with his life like maybe you should do.

People do things I don't want all the time (like not answer my questions ::)), but that doesn't stop THEM....they keep on doing whatever they're doing, even when I and others point out what they're doing.  IT'S A RUMOUR, DUDE!  NOONE HAS SAID "TOM CRUISE IS DEFINITELY GAY"  Right or wrong, having rumours spread about you is part of being famous.  If HE doesn't want it to happen, then HE should get his behind OUT of the spotlight.

Oh, so you know these people SPECIFICALLY won't watch Angelina Jolie because she kissed her brother but have NO IDEA who else they will/won't watch/listen to?  mmmhmmm O0

methinks thou doth protest too much.....



You ask rhetorical questions.  Tell me is the background white? Are the letters typed black?  Yes I know specifically these people don't watch Jolie because she kissed her brother.  "I don't like her cause she's insest". 

I watch movies with my friends, I don't listen to music with my friends because they like hip hop and rap and a lot of todays style.  I like oldies, rock n roll and country.  So no, I don't know what they listen to and it's a legitimate response. 

Methinks you need a good kick in the ole metaphorical ass to appreciate the fact that within all your arrogance you wouldn't want everyone and their dog calling you a fag and it WOULD make you uneasy.

The "f" word is much closer to the character of a racial slur. Totally different from speculating whether someone might be gay or straight. The "f" word is associated with a long, tired, sad history of anti-gay violence (five'll get you ten those bastards who did that horrible s**t to that poor kid in Wyoming a few years back used the f-word on him at some point, for instance) and so I think it's funny it comes out of your mouth in conjunction with talk about "kicking metaphorical ass." The relationship of that word to violence being what it is.

No, I've asked you SPECIFIC questions time and time again and if you don't WANT to answer or don't KNOW the answer, you just skip it.  This time, I specifically asked you who else they REFUSE to watch/listen to and even gave you some suggestions, which you totally ignored.  I just find it interesting that you SPECIFICALLY know that they won't watch Angelina Jolie's movies "because she's insest" (it's actually incestuous, but that's beside the point), but the subject went no further than that.  If any of MY friends had said "I won't watch/listen to so & so because of XYZ", I'd (and I think 95% of the population would) ask "Who else won't you watch/listen to?" or "What about so-and-so?  They're XYZ too". 

Are you blind?  Have you NOT seen the multiple times on this thread (and others) where I said that I HAVE been called names?  That I HAVE been called a "dyke"?  That I HAVE been called a "slut"?  That I HAVE been called a multitude of other things and it hasn't affected me?  That people have said IT'S A RUMOUR THAT HE'S GAY?  Heck, people have even resorted to using different colors to get you to actually see what is being said, but you must be colorblind.  Methinks YOU need a metaphorical kick in the ass to actually READ what is written. ::)

I dont' love everything about Tom Cruise, there are a lot of things about him that I don't like, however those things I dont' make up or let other people make up for me.  He's with Katie Holmes so therefore making the remark that he robbed the cradle, is just and legite.  He believes in Scientology, which I think is a bunch of crap.  I don't hold these things against him because he's not hurting me or anyone else with them, unlike many of the arguments I have with others which does hurt a lot of people and hurt a lot of people bad. 

Fact of the matter is that there is nothing to go on him being gay except the fact that he has stood up for gay rights at gay conventions.  Which truly makes you and a lot of other people on this board hyprocrits to the 1st degree.  You preach and praise gay rights and how they should be allowed every and anything they want then turn around and make fun of a man who is not one of them but supports them.

Anyhoo, guess what, you don't fool me.  I can tell when someone's backed themself into a corner and trying desperately to get out.  That's when they usually resort to personal attacks....anything to change the subject ::)


I'm in no corner, if I'm afraid of anyone, it certainly isn't you.  The fact of the matter is Tom Cruise is/was for the matter being putdown and I stood up for him.  Do unto others as you'd have them do to you.  Well if I was being bashed left and right and Especially being told I wasn't being bashed right Smack after getting bashed I'd want Tom Cruise to stick up for me, therefore I do the same for him.

Jeepers Creepers.....I cannot believe this thread! LOL!  It just comes down to the fact that some people just don't get it...no matter how hard you try to imprint it in their head.

Simply having an opinion that someone may or may not be gay does not equal making fun of a person....there is a difference, ya know?

Also...I agree with Beth's statement.....Harmonica, you are always throwing the fact around that you are a big Christian, etc....but I think you are one of most arrogant and rude individuals on the boards....you always resort to throwing personal attacks at a person...whenever the fact of the matter is...this thread is about freakin' TOM CRUISE....it's not like it is about anything earth shattering or important.  He's a celebrity....he CHOSE to be in the limelight....therefore, people who are in the limelight will always be accused of being gay, druggies, sluts, alcoholics, thieves, ...and the list goes on and on.  Maybe it is not right...but, hey, it happens...even to us ordinary folk of the world.

You just don't set a very good example for someone proclaiming to be such a dedicated and awesome Christian....it almost makes me feel like I need to say, "All Christians are not like this....please do not judge the rest of us by one person who obviously have no clue what it is even about".

You just keep resorting back to the fact that, "oh, poor Tom Cruise"....we are all hypocrites because we stand up for gay people, yet we supposedly make fun of TC for maybe having gay tendencies....that is simply not the case.  Like I said before...I didn't hear anyone calling him derogatory names....all they did was merely state the fact that they have heard RUMORS that he could possibly be gay or maybe swing both ways...that's it....and you know what? SO WHAT!!  Most people have been accused of being something that they aren't....it's called..."get over it".  I could see if people were coming out and saying things like, "oh, he's a child molester" or a "big pedophile"...or, "he has sex with animals" etc....those things would be horrible to accuse someone of being, if they were not....but this is totally a different caliber...there is a big difference.

Don't worry, Erin.  Most of us don't judge ANY group based on the actions of a few.  Personally, I base my opinion of someone on their actions, not necessarily their beliefs.  Most of my "friends" have different religious, political, musical, etc. beliefs than I do, but they're basically good people and THAT's what I base my friendships with them on.  I have friends who are Atheists, Christians, Catholics, Wiccans, Agnostics and even a Scientologist and we respect each other's differences.  If someone chooses to NOT be my friend simply because I have a different belief than them on something then that's THEIR loss.  I don't lose sleep over it because I choose not to surround myself with such shallow, closed-minded people.  Some people perceive that as arrogance, and maybe to an extent it is, but I know that I'm a good person, my friends are good people, my family are good people, and that's all that matters to me.  If people can't accept that about me, that's THEIR problem.  I'm not going to change who I am to please ANYONE.

By the way, I'm bisexual (and yes, I'm married, but that wouldn't stop me from getting with a lady if I were divorced...I also have more in common with the husband when we check out the womens), so your little bullsh*t rant about being hypocritical to gay rights is just STUPID.

"Could it be... Thetans?"

Sad thing is that Tom doesn't get it.  We may be laughing at him because he believes all our problems are caused by the disembodied spirits (!) of aliens (!!) who got flown to Hawaii (!!!) 75,000,000 years ago (!!!!) in spaceships shaped DC-8s (!!one!) and nuked by H-bombs (!eleventy!!1!).  At least, that's what South Park says.  And that's what people used to (as recently as the early 90s) get sued for talking about.

But we're not just laughing at the space-opera doctrine.  Well, we are, but that's beside the point.

Problem is, along with the wacky space opera go notions like the idea that people who haven't signed on to the programme should eventually be "disposed of quietly and without sorrow".  Where people who oppose the cult are "fair game", and "may be tricked, lied to, and destroyed".

And because when Lisa McPherson tried to leave the cult, she was given the Niacin overdose in a sauna treatment that Cruise keeps going on about as the cure for everything.  Whether the cockroach bites came before or after her death, and whether or not the abrasions were from restraints or not, and whether that was because she didn't apply "the tech" correctly or perhaps for some other reason, is left as an exercise for the reader.  The court depositions make for interesting reading; some of the stuff's right up there with Jim Jones and the People's Temple.

It's a free country.  Tom's acting career earns him an honest buck, and what he spends it on is his business.  But the more I learn about where Tom's money ends up, the less I feel like seeing his latest flick.

That's a very good way of looking at it, and confines to Tom Cruise. Tom Cruise claims to be heterosexual. He does nothing to indicate being other than straight.    He has children.  He's about to have another child with Katie Holmes.  Calling him gay is an insult, it can't be anything else, due to the given circumstances.

I've seen people be called Gay that weren't gay before, seen girls come to tears for being called a lesbian, ain't much silly about that, nothing silly about it at all actually.  I stuck up for them before, I'll do it again.


I know I'm not supposed to quote a banned member and all but I just have to say.... in case no one points it out....

I once watched a teen television special and the discussion was about a teen girl, very sure of herself, who said that she would not read anything written by a homosexual because homosexuality was against the word of god(of course, that would be her reason)  A teen asked her if she would refuse to read the words of slaveholders(the teen asking was African American) since they had engaged in the evil of buying and selling babies, splitting up families, and brutalizing them.  The girl then got the "deer in the headlights" look.  She didn't know what to say, fumbled a bit, then said "of course", but it was very obvious to all that her answer was disingenious.  She did not regain her composure after that.  So I wonder if Angelina/homosexuals are the only ones these  people exclude, if so how do they justify reading and studying others who have done things that they also consider against the word of god.


I once saw an episode of Jerry Springer and that had a young child (8 or so) who was raised by her Klan family. The kid said she hated blacks and jews.  A woman (about 25) stood up and said to the girl "You look like a sweet kid raised who's being taught wrong- if we were the same age would you play with me? "  the kid said yeah..... the woman said- "oh that's interesting because I'm Jewish"  you could see the look of shock and confusion on the kid's face because she just realized she didn't know what Jewish looked like....I think she was expecting horns and a tail or something....

anyway- no point to my story- Danoot's comment reminded me of it so I thought I would share  ;)

What?  ole what's his name implied that Tom Cruise was a virile man who supplied the sperm for all his kids.... I just pointed out that his two kids are adopted... we could speculate about Suri but you know I just didn't want to go there...


for the record.... like Patti- I was a huge fan of Tom's (okay I don't know if she's a huge fan- but she admitted liking him)

I actually had a crush on him in 1982- this was before Risky Business and all the Right Moves came out... I was writing his name all over my note books at school and my friends were wondering who the heck he was....

Then Risky Business came out and I was validated... since then I have loved almost every movie he's done... Legend. Far & Away and Eyes Wide Shut.... I haven't seen MI III, that lion lamb whatever movie, Valkerye and for some reason Last Samuri....

I still like his movies... and will eventually get around to seeing his other movies but I don't like the extreme he's taken the Scientology too... I mean he's gone kind of wacko with it.... the funny thing is people forget (except when Jett died) that John Travolta is a scientologist too... the difference is JT- totally keeps the two (his career/his "religion") separate Tom Cruise should really learn from Travolta and keep mum about the Scientology....there is no changing America's POV on it...and really it just makes him seem....welll..... crazy!

I don't care what he does in his personal life, it doesn't really effect how much I like him as an actor.  Similar to any of the other controversy-ladden actors such as Mel Gibson or I dunno... Robert Downey Jr.

Him and John Travolta. What are those boys getting up to!?  ::)



"News of an incredibly graphic $2 million lawsuit by a “John Doe” masseur against John Travolta, which broke Monday, may have come as a surprise to some fans of the actor, who projects an image of a smiling heartthrob onscreen and an adoring family man off....

....For anyone who’s been following Travolta’s life off-screen, however, tabloid-ready gay sex allegations—usually in spas or health clubs—have persisted for years.

....On May 8, 1990, The National Enquirer ran a cover story describing an alleged affair between Travolta and Paul Barresi, a gay porn star. According to Barresi, the two met in 1982, after the actor allegedly followed him into the shower room of a Los Angeles health club, and the relationship lasted for two years. Barresi reportedly received $100,000 from the Enquirer for his Travolta story, but retracted it several months later under what he later alleged was legal pressure from Travolta’s attorneys. While Barresi is not the most credible of witnesses, having inserted himself into several high-profile celebrity scandals over the years, he did snag a speaking role in the 1985 Travolta film Perfect.

I don't have a problem with it.  Most of Hollywood no longer has a problem with it.  But a certain cult leader appears to have had a serious problem with it.

It's almost like folks like Travolta and Cruise (assuming the rumors were true, and they're none of our business) were looking for an organization that would "cure them", and landed on the wrong organization.  Never mind the Xenu story from Trapped in the Closet (South Park, Season 9, Episode 12) (RIP, Chef, I'm surprised the cult let you stay with that show as long as it did!), but apparently putting homosexuals in "permanent quarantine" is part of what Scientologists actually believe.

Whether someone is gay, straight, bi, tri (they will try anything), asexual, whatever-does it really matter? It is WHO you are not WHAT you are. And what people do in their bedrooms-as long as it is with consenting adults, is really nobody's business but theirs. And if they want to publicly announce who they love-again, as long as it is with consenting adults-there isn't a problem!

I have no problem with his sexuality. I'm just wondering if being in the closet, or keeping a secret, straight or gay, can drive a person nuts! Kinda like his 'couch' incident on Oprah! But gotta give you karma for this statement!  8)

Two.  Love alot of his movies.  I could care less if he's gay, straight, bi, tri, trans or whatever else they come up with.  I could care less if he worships the man in the moon.  He seems like a caring father and that is cool.  I don't really pay much attention to people's private lives.

I didn't like mi 2 but I did like mi 3

Taps is a great film - technically it's a Timothy Hutton film
All the Right Moves - is fantastic
Risky business - is a classic & should be heralded w/ Ferris Buellers Day off (which I don't really like but I see why others do)
Rain Man - is good
Born on the Fourth of july - is kinda full of itself
Legend - sucked
Losin it - was 80s crap
Lestat - sucked
Top Gun - was awesome in a cheesy 80s way
Days of thunder - was on steroids
Far and away - didn't see it
Last samurai - didn't see it
Eyes wide shut - didn't want to see it
Vanilla sky - I think I'm the only person who liked it
Magnolia - was really well done

What am I missing?
I didn't count outsiders and endless love because his roles were minimal.
He was in recognizable in Tropic Thunder.
