Resurrecting the Movies thread...

I just ran into Tom Cruise!  He didn't look nuts or anything, in fact, he seemed rather friendly and acommodating. 
I work in the CBC building so he must be here for a taping to promote VALKYRIE.  I was heading off for a coffee when I saw a small cluster of people in the lobby and it turned out to be Tom signing autographs.   I wish my mobile had a camera, he was like three feet away. He seems less paranoid about security than Mark Walberg was when he visited.

That's exciting, Gil!  Is he really short? 

I'd probably want to trip him.

Why so much hostility towards TOM?  I know he hates psychology? It's wrong!   

He probably thought this film was his chance to win an Oscar, playing someone who tried to kill Hitler and then paid the consequences.  The early "leaks" I've read about the film haven't been so kind.

If I saw Tom Cruise, that would really give a lift to my day!

I thought he was good in The Outsiders, Risky Business, and Jerry Maguire.

I feel fairly positive toward Tom Cruise, too. His RL craziness doesn't really seem to harm anyone, except Brooke Shields, and he sent her a nice baby gift to make up for it.

Now if you'd seen Mel Gibson ...

You probably wouldn't want to trip him, to be honest,  he has a very disarming smile.  He is shorter than me and I'm 5'10", so he must be about 5'-8", nothing drastic.

I really was kidding.

I like some of his work, sure enough. 

(It's just the shrink in me who would fantasize about tripping him.)

I have a Mel Gibson story:

Back in the late 80's, early 90's I used to go to this really cool after-hours booze-can.  It was in a funky penthouse loft in a back alley and to get in you'd have to buzz and someone would drop the door key from a window 5 floors up.  We called it the Baroque Booze Can because the 'host' would wear a powdered wig and there was often live classical music.  It was all very gay.  Anyway, I heard from a reliable source that one night, Mel Gibson showed up with a male friend, got piss drunk and at one point, went to the washroom and teasingly waved his dick around for everyone else to see.  I wish I had been there that night.

I'm glad the director did not attempt to have Tom Cruise fake his way through a German accent in Valkyrie.

He makes a very good physical impression that looks very much like Count Klaus von Stauffenberg.

I saw a preview for Valkyrie and it looks dreadful.

Sorry, I am not paying $8 to see Tom Cruise live out his gay uniform fetish fantasy up on there on the big screen. LOL.
