Tom Cruise used to be a good actor. I thought he was incredibly fun to watch in Top Gun, Interview With the Vampire, and A Few Good Men. But in recent years his acting has become pretentious and hammy. That coupled with his bizarre public antics has completely turned me off to him. I now avoid movies that star Cruise - I probably would've seen War of the Worlds had it starred someone else.

"Lauren Bacall, a reminder of an era when Hollywood had class."

True, when most of them back then weren't slaves to rehab centers or dimbulb cults.

Quite unfortunately long ago...a lifetime it seems. I enjoy watching most of the old black and white movies on Turner Classics....there's nothing like watching Spencer Tracy, Joan Crawford, Bette Davis, Humphrey Bogart, and, of course, one of my favorites, Lauren Bacall.

My wife and I went to see War or the Worlds, and coming out of it I observed to her that Cruise seems to play the same role in most of his movies: a shmuck who finally grows up a little bit after some adversity. Top Gun, Jerry McGuire, Rain Man, WotW -- it's all the same role he's playing, over and over

...but she was a worse actor than Tom Cruise

Lauren Bacall? I thought she was good. She had a certain class.

Oh yeah? And just what "level of awareness" has Lauren Bacall reached in her Scientology studies?

The creepy thing is I'm certain Cruise would've begged Bogie for more. Ewww!

Eh, I think that she's gotten way more mileage than she deserves out of hanging on to Humphrey Bogart as a young woman. Lauren Bacall was never a great actress, and has benefited from surviving everyone else.

However, she's absolutely right.

Lauren Bacall, off the stage or set,in her private life, is a foul mouthed, rancid, itch on wheels. But she's right about Tom Cruise.

No, she's just a grumpy old bitch. People with class don't constantly carp at others and attack them unprovoked. She's been doing this for at least the last couple years to the point where it's almost par for the course with her.

LOL!

Yes, but he has "studied the history of psychiatry," is completely clear mentally, and knows how to cure post-partum with vitamins, fitness, and constantly-repeated control freak mental exercises that would make even hardened Social Darwinists smile a glazed-eyes Moonie smile.

He might be suffering from the same disease that has turned formally first rate actors Al Pacino and Robert De Niro, into scenery chewing hams.
