How long before Tom Cruise's career implodes
http://www.cnn.com/2005/SHOWBIZ/Movies/06/29/cruise.aliens.reut/index.html

Hollywood actor Tom Cruise not only battles creatures from outer space in his latest film "War of the Worlds", he also believes aliens exist, he told a German newspaper on Wednesday.

Asked in an interview with the tabloid daily Bild if he believed in aliens, Cruise said: "Yes, of course. Are you really so arrogant as to believe we are alone in this universe?

"Millions of stars, and we're supposed to be the only living creatures? No, there are many things out there, we just don't know," Cruise, 42, said in the interview published in German.


the man needs help

1. Do you disagree with the aliens remark?
Do you think we're alone in the universe?

8. Right
So then wouldn't it be better to stick with the Oprah and Today interviews? Because laughing at him for making what's a perfectly valid remark is just sort of kicking a man when he's down.

19. I'm laughing at him because he's a loon
and it's really starting to show

if you remember, he started most of this by going after Brooke Shields for writing in her autobiography, or whoever wrote it, that using anti-depressants cured or helped with her post-partum depression

he jumped on her for that because he's Scientologist and they believe any psychotropic drug is some big conspiracy to drug the masses

10. Its one thing to think about this...

N = R • fp • ne • fl • fi • fc • L

(especially since it appears that "fp" is much larger than
originally thought)


its quite another to think that you are an "operating thetan"

12. Right, but Cruise wasn't asked about being an operating thetan.

3. Actually, I agree with that sentiment.
Its a HUGE universe out there.

In just our own galaxy there are likely to be a half-dozen civilizations like our own.

4. i think he has been experiencing a "career bubble" and that, in terms
of real value, his career has already long since imploded. it's only a matter of time before the reality of the situation catches up with him...

9. You and me both
Marina Sirtis can conquer me any time now, I've been praying for it since I was a teenager.

As for Mr. Cruise: "Sir, your fifteen minutes are up."

Khash.

15. He's a freak
You couldn't pay me to see a movie of his after his irresponsible remarks about psychiatry.

17. I think War Of The Worlds will be a hit, but
if his planned Mission Impossible 3 goes, I think it'll be a huge bomb and the beginning of his slide.

18. "Yes, of course. Are you really so arrogant as to believe we are alone in
this universe?"

Does he have any idea as to how arrogant HE sounds by that statement? He's completely losing it.

20. Exactly.
Why does asking the question make one arrogant? What's arrogant - and pointless - is Cruise's accusatory and hostile tone. He's gone completely around the bend.
