If you hate Cruise, here's a goldmine of mean-spirited snarky comments: buffalobeast.com/73/feature6.htmbuffalobeast.com/73/index.htmPlease note, as a warning, the material is pretty raunchy. Cruise threatened to sue the Beast last year after they put him on their annual (and notorious) '50 most loathesome Americans'. The Beast refused to back down and Cruise dropped the threats. Not surprisingly, Cruise then made their 'top 50' (again) this year, alongside George Lucas, Michelle Malkin, and Rush Limbaugh. PS: Rusti, I think this site is tailor-made for your opinions on Cruise. Chuckle, Chuckle! Can't wait to see his next picture THE ASS SAMURAI!

I agree with Lensman on this one - the peanut butter sarnie scene was acted VERY well. I also liked the way he acted being excited by the storm then excited/scared then just all out scared - it was a great transition between emotions. Rusti, why was he the wrong actor? What specifically did he do wrong (in terms of his acting, not the script or direction which he had little or no control over)? I'd have to agree, I thought TC was a very convincing character, he had a sort of young lad out of his depth feel with both his family and the aliens. You can actually see his character mature throughout the film, I enjoyed his performance, especially the ''peanut butter'' scene. So I think worst actor is unfair, have they not seen Ogilvy's ''astonishment'' scene in the Pendragon version? he he

I also hated the family man idea, a brave father starts off as a bum, and becomes the hero to his family by the end of the film. Bo**cks i say.
The origonal character from the book as he goes from well to do middle class to rambling savage mad man is far more interesting.

Lensman, considering the fact that only TWO people on this thread seemed to think that Cruise deserved the golden razzie, I would have to say you are most definately NOT in the minority here.
Also look at who the two people who think he deserves it are. :/

Maybe I'm wrong, but quaderni and The donal don't seem too impressed with him - aswell as me and Rusti on this particular thread.

I think there's more than Cruise to blame for the overall failure of this film as a WoTW adaption, though. David Koepp and Spielberg are just as guilty. There was just a Cruise-shaped gear in a Heath Robinson machine.

There was just a Cruise-shaped gear in a Heath Robinson machine. I'm sorry to say this but, you make it seem like nobody appreciates this movie. There are people, I'm one of them, who liked this film. If you don't like it you just don't like it, that's it. Spielberg, Koepp and Cruise did their things and I think everyone must respect that. I'm sorry, but a moderator must know better than that. Tripod

Excuse me? I don't think my statement speaks for anyone but me. I have actually gone on record before and said that I actually thought the film was good for what it is... I'm just saying that, to me, it basically failed as a WoTW adaption. Whilst I am a Mod here I am allowed to have an opinion.. or are you saying that I'm not?

Precisely! Tripod, he's entitled to his views just like the rest of us.

I didn't mean to offend anyone with my earlier post, and I'm not saying a mod isn't entitled to your own opinion. I believe all negative comments on Spielberg's WotW are really getting to me. All I tried to make clear is that there should be a bit more respect for everyone who's involved with WotW or a member of this board, that goes for Timothy Hines too! But one thing must be made clear, I wasn't trying to offend anyone. Tripod

...as long as they are negetive... Yes I forgot - I or anyone else mustn't criticise Spielbergs film as that will mean I'm a negative person who only talks about negative things even though Spielbergs film is bloody useless............oops! I forgot.........sorry I'm being negative again!

But one thing must be made clear, I wasn't trying to offend anyone. Tripod I for one wasn't offended by your statement at all. You've obviously got a right to put forward your 'positive' view of the film just like people who post negative views about it. The one thing I will say though is - when you say "Spielberg, Koepp and Cruise did their things and everyone must respect that" - also - "there should be more respect for everyone involved with WOTW, even Tim Hines" - well none of us 'have' to respect any of these film makers at all. If they don't come up with the goods then they can expect to have criticism. A lot of people think these WOTW adaptations we've had so far are a waste of celluloid and we don't owe these film makers anything whatsoever. They've let loads of us down so why should we give a hoot about them!

I wasn't 'offended' either. It just got my goat a bit becase it sounded like I wasn't allowed an opinion. I am a member here too you know.. the reason I joined in the first place was to debate with other people who love WotW. And I intend to carry on doing that. I appreciate Tripod clearing that up, anyway. There wouldn't be much of a forum if we all totally agreed with each other, would there? 'I say, that Spielberg film is good isn't it?' Yes it is. I loved it all.' 'Oh yes me too.' 'Well, that's nice' 'Er.. well.. see you when the sequel comes out then. I'm sure we'll all love that too'. *Silence*
