TV/Movies Megathread

Help you with what?  Tom Cruise is fucking fantastic.

You forgot Knight and Day.  Cruise spoofing Cruise movies was pretty funny.

[celedhring]

Cameron Díaz was grating though - but I agree that it was more fun than I expected it to be.

I like Cruise, to be honest, his batting average for entertaining and even good films is actually quite decent for somebody with such a long career.

List of superior halfway decent films featuring Cruise:

Top Gun
Rain Man
Days of Thunder
A Few Good Men
Interview with the Vampire
Mission: Impossible
Mission: Impossible 2?
Mission: Impossible 3?
Mission: Impossible: Ghost Protocol?
Eyes Wide Shut
Magnolia
Vanilla Sky?
Collateral
Minority Report
Tropic Thunder
Oblivion?
Edge of Tomorrow
Far and Away
Risky Business

HARUMPH.

You could toss Tropic Thunder and Magnolia and then your list would be "Tom Cruise movies" as stipulated.

He's like Tony Gwynn then. Lot of base hits, almost never hits the long ball.

(I feel like I've done a more detailed Tom Cruise to baseball analogy before )

No argument from me; Tom Cruise is an honest-to-goodness, real-life Movie Star^tm (in the "I'm not an actor, I'm a movie star!" My Favorite Year vein) who makes fun movies, and sometimes good ones.

From their Website

SONS OF LIBERTY is a dramatic interpretation of events that sparked a revolution. It is historical fiction, not a documentary. The goal of our miniseries is to capture the spirit of the time, convey the personalities of the main characters, and focus on real events that have shaped our past.

Which would be fine except that it doesn't capture the spirit of the time or convey the actual personalities of the main characters.  Compare say to Deadwood which as discussed earlier had similar language use issues but did far better at capturing the spirit.

That's the joke 

Right, except it also fails by taking itself too seriously and not going full tongue and cheek vampire hunter.
Falls between the stools.

I didn't claim the producers were self aware enough to realize it was supposed to be a joke.

Help me, I'm considering watching a Tom Cruise movie shortly*.

These I would consider worth a watch. Bolded must see with Minority Report leading the pack.

Rain Man
A Few Good Men
Interview with the Vampire
Collateral
Minority Report
Oblivion
Edge of Tomorrow
Last Samurai
Color of Money
Valkyrie

Eyes Wide Shut is best T&A movie ever made.  Nicole's nipples are worth the price of admission by themselves.

And when she's wearing just those panties....you could almost smell her twat like she was Amish.


Also, that early movie he made with Rebecca DeMornay, Risky Business, is that not on the list? Pretty good for a teen flick.

[Admiral Yi]

She was wearing a teddy.

[Razgovory]

Keep in mind that for ideologue the highest purpose of an actor in a movie is to serve as a frame for the costume designer, and then as components of the scenery.

For him I thought it was to sit down amongst a bunch of men jerking off.

[PRC]

Cocktail needs to be in that list!

[Josephus]

She was wearing a teddy.

Hmm...so she might be. Thought it might be camisole like thing over panties, but yeah, may very well be a teddy.

Needs implants.

Those tits are incapable of improvement.  They are the Platonic ideal of tits.

Though Jo Jo, some NSFW issues could potentially arise.
