obnoxious earworm “Closer”

I really like Halsey’s voice. I feel it has a unique texture—somehow strong and fragile at the same time. However, I listened to all her popular songs and couldn’t like any of them. It makes sense that she’s singing within a certain genre that’s hot right now, and maybe her voice is even particularly well-suited to…

the incomparable Lea Michele

I would have loved to forget there were men making pop music but somehow all my local stations are STILL playing the same three Maroon 5 songs, each one the same and yet worse than the last.

Yeah, I listened to it a few weeks back on spotify because I had heard the name Halsey in the zeitgeist and wanted to see what the music was like. I immediately texted my husband after, “It’s the children who are wrong.”

Teen daughter and me listened the whole album, we came to the conclusion that it was awful.

What?! You mean a sexist and misogynistic show like Entourage is made by people who are sexist and misogynistic?!

Yes, he’s much more attractive than Cruise for that, IMO.

Russell Crowe, like Helen Mirren, appears to not give too many fucks he is getting older, and that endears him to me (although I have liked him as an actor since Brides of Christ and The Sum of Us).

The only one I enjoyed was the aforementioned one where he gets killed over and over and has to be taught how to fight by a badass Emily Blunt. I was legitimately shocked that I had enjoyed a Tom Cruise movie.

Clearly. But you could even massage that around. He starts in Iraq doing the looting/thieving stuff they wanted for some reason, then goes to Egypt to make a sale. Get’s a tip about a site. Goes in blind, stumbles into it all. Now it’s set in Egypt and his backstory is the same.

Was thinking not only this but also - how many films has he starred in where he is a Dad, not just a biological father, but plays the role of a dad? War of the Worlds is the only one I can think of off the top of my head. It’s like he can’t even concede that much of a hit to his vanity even though he’s actually…

Somebody really wanted a soldier in Iraq to be the one who finds the mummy.

Back before Tom Cruise was cast, the story was supposed to be about an Assyrian king who is resurrected thanks to American soldiers messing with ancient artifacts. Then Cruise came aboard and the movie went through six different writers and countless drafts, all intent on starting a shared universe similar to BvS.

Tom Cruise isn’t going to be in a movie that isn’t at least 95% about Tom Cruise’s character... which is mostly the same character type he’s been playing since Top Gun.

I assumed this movie would feature him get murdered repeatedly and survive thanks to being cursed. This review has disappointed me.

I think he’s grasping at trying to remain young looking (there are other premiere photos were you can tell he hadn’t had enough down time from chemical peel). He’s not by any means old, but young and cute he definitely is not and no surgery can fix that.

They dug up a mummy in bloody Mesopotamia. That alone should tell you how poorly thought out this film is.

There are only 2 good uses of Tom Cruise in movies nowadays:
