I disagree that him doing his own stunts adds nothing. Since its always Tom Cruise on camera, they never have to hide the stunt performer. As a result, they can do a lot more in closeup, a lot more inventive angles and so on. Also, since he is trying to outdo his last stunt, each movie has more ambitious and inventive

To me it actually does matter a bit. One reason I go to see a Tom Cruise movie is that I know that he cares deeply about making as good a movie as he can, limitations in the screenplay (or his own acting/suitability (The Mummy)) be damned. Tom Cruise really tries goddammit! When he stops doing his own stunts it will

All you need is a little courage...

I’m still traumatized by Joe Theismann’s leg break, so no.

Cruise is a special case. Hollywood probably wouldn’t let any other leading man do that stunt, even a full-fledged action hero like Jason Statham. Even in the DTV realm, where the actors being real-deal badasses is more of a selling point, they’d make, say, Scott Adkins use a stunt double for that gag because it would

Same thing I was coming in to say.

Yes, I’m sure the Trump administration will get right on that sex criminal purge.

It is sad and I think that a lot of these people are jaded in general towards the opposite sex and it cultivates that toxic community. Or they get attached to these women and then in their eyes become spurned lovers and turn hateful. I mean there’s always the exception but I feel safe to say the majority of people who

As noted in several linked posts above and in ESPN’s reporting, numerous assaults were reported to police, only for charges not to be brought or to later be dropped. The Appling-Payne case, despite police requesting charges be brought, was dropped by a prosecutor who subsequently was hired to, yes, work in Michigan

The worst part about this is that there are probably so many more of these type of huge scandals related to sexual harassment that are just waiting to come out. It’s sickening.

Money. I’m not trying to be glib or anything, but it all boils down to money. It’s almost inspiring in its simplicity.

Having the NCAA investigate MSU is like having the Committee of Public Safety investigate reports of beheadings in Paris.

This has now crossed from “what the actual fuck” territory into “Jesus shitting Christ on a Triscuit WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK OVER” territory.

That is correct.

so there’s literally no way to make this game look bad, is that correct

Also I always used to wish that they had abandoned any attempt to explain the prospector character and just made it a weird reality. The whole “insane character actor” thing really lets the air out of it.

You think these videos are fucked up, you should try going to an actual Kidz Bop concert. I havn’t been the same sense. Also the MILF quotient is not as high as you’d think. In fact it’s quite disappointing.

Wow, from the moment I saw the headline, my first thought was “Please not Starships.” And yet here we are.

Whatever Kidz thought this was a good idea can Bop right the hell off my lawn.
