I'm sure you'll love War of the Worlds. I just couldn't wait for that goddamn thing to be over. It's such a fucking nightmare. A missed opportunity and a clusterfuck.
I can't imagine what opportunities were missed? All things considered, it's probably the single best movie made about 9/11.
Well, I suppose I'll have to watch this piece of shit again, too. Only this time I'll ponder 9/11 while I watch it. god help me...

I mean, yeah, if you like over acting or acting that revolves around a wig, sure.
clearly i do
I'm being a tad overly dramatic because it's a slow Saturday. I should watch Collateral again, honestly. I didn't care for it but I'm sure I missed some of the nuance. And Cruise honestly didn't bother me, from what I remember. You may very well be right and I'll eat a ton of crow once I watch it again.
My previous list was off the top of my head. I reserve the right to change my mind. But I really do remember thinking that the performance was flat and then OVER THE TOP and then flat and then OVER THE TOP and the WIG!
I should see it again.
I just hate Michael Mann so much.
why u do this to me

I like Russel Crowe in most everything. I think he's a great actor.

He's made some weird choices. But he usually turns in an outstanding performance.

Oh Michael Mann is the best. An american treasure.
And Cruise is a star..if you see the names he worked with, is astonishing. Amazing career.

It's so stupid.
I'm not a Spielberg guy, though. So take what I say with a grain of salt.
That's actually one of my favorites Spielberg flick.

I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

I'm a fan of Spielberg, Cruise, and Philip K. Dick, and I think that movie is a great-looking abomination.
I guess I just have poor taste in movies. I thought it was a cool premise and enjoyed it.

There is nothing wrong with enjoying Minority Report, guys. I wish I had. I envy y'all.

I think one thing we can all agree on is Top Gun has not aged well.
