What a ****head! You use to be so cool. In the 1980s.

Tom Cruise says his job is as hard as serving tour in Afghanistan, being an Olympic track star: report

Please Tom go to Afghanistan. Make your next movie there.

Oh yeah as for the Olympics, couch jumping is not an Olympic event.

This reminds me of a certain NFL star who, during the recent war in Iraq, said that they "go to war" for us every Sunday. That statement was received about as well.

well its almost as bad as a certain musician from a certain band who in the late 60's claimed they were "More popular than Jesus" and if you dont know who I am talking about do your self a favour and go get and read a book on pop culture.

What tom said is still sickening and Its still wrong but the Jeasus remark is still at the top of my list with this being a close second.

oh and BTW I am not old enough to have actual heard the quote first hand I just recall it form a TV special I seen once Big smile

It was a true statement. People do not like the truth. He did not say "better than". Only 25% of the religious worshipers in the world are actually Christian, so it's no lie to say that Allah and Buddha are more popular than Jesus either. Much, much more popular.

Christian spokesmen pointed out that Lennon had only stated what the church was itself saying about Christianity's decline at the time.


edit: One of the first things we learned in the Alcohol Rehab I was in 20 years ago was that hanging onto long-time grudges is a seriously bad thing, m'kay ?

This person we're talking about got mixed up with a certain group of people that make him uncool anyway. You know, the kind that take your money and then lie to you.

Don't really care what he says.

Jeebus might not be as popular as you think.

I can't really wrap my head around as to why he would drag the Beatles/Jesus Thing (which even my Baptist Deacon of a dad (RIP) dropped back around 1992) into a thread about Tom Cruise anyway.

I don't even....sometimes.

It would give another excuse for winning an Oscar by yammering for 2 hours loudly from a wheelchair. Again.

Reading the relevant excerpts of the deposition shows that Cruise's comments reveal a different story.

The comments come in a section of the deposition where Cruise is being asked about time he has spent away from daughter Suri, either because of film or other commitments.

"Now your counsel has publicly equated your absence from Suri for these extended periods of time as being analogous to someone fighting in Afghanistan," opposing counsel asks him. "Are you aware of that?"

"I didn't hear the Afghanistan," Cruise replies. "That's what it feels like and certainly on this last movie it was brutal. it was brutal."

"Do you believe that the situations are the same?" Cruise is asked.

"Oh come on," Cruise says, "you know, we're making a movie."


Cruise's attorney, Bert Fields, tells CNN in a statement, "Headlines stating he equated his job with those in the military are demonstrably false. They are a distortion of what is provable and on the record."

"Tom is a staunch supporter of our troops and does not feel that making a movie is even remotely comparable to fighting in Afghanistan and said so in plain English," Fields said.

Tom Cruise did not make widely reported claim that acting is as tough as combat


This whole thing was just TMZ shilling the Public for more ad dollars.

I like the idea- it's so crazy it could actually work.

Send Tom Cruise to Afghanistan to convert all the Taliban to Scientology and see what happens...Cool

I'd like to apologize for the poor quality of the post above and sincerely hope you didn't waste your time reading it. Yes, I do feel bad about it.
