rotten bananas

Sure, he was dropped by his studio, but the man is worth millions, and still has no problem getting work. He brings in money, so he won’t go unemployed. But, this one has got to sting.

A movie is being planned about a German war hero, Claus Schenk Graf von Stauffenberg (I totally had to copy/paste that), “Hitler’s would-be assassin”. Currently, Tom Cruise is marked as the top choice to play the hero, but the hero’s family has other ideas. They are afraid that Tom will turn the film into scientologist propaganda.

I’m sure for every person that dislikes him, there’s a larger number of people that do, but Tom still has to feel this. People may go see him play some fictional character, but when they find offense in him portraying a beloved family member it shows how they really feel.

Most educated people know that Tom Cruise is insane, but that won’t stop them from seeing his movies. Frankly, as an actor, who cares what he does with his personal life? Yea, we may not respect him, but if he acts alright, we’ll still see him. But, when he goes out of his way to publicize his ridiculous lifestyle, that’s when people start to wonder, and the backlash, however small, can sting bad.
