Subdeacon Joe Posted November 9, 2013 Share Posted November 9, 2013 Tom Cruise Cruise sat with lawyers to be deposed for his case against Bauer Publishing for stories two of its publications printed following his divorce from Katie Holmes, articles that stated he had "abandoned" his daughter Suri. During the deposition, a lawyer questioned Cruise about remarks his camp had made equating his work and inability to see daughter Suri to fighting in Afghanistan. "That's what it feels like. And certainly on this last movie, it was brutal. It was brutal," Cruise said, according to TMZ Um..... Yeah.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DocWard Posted November 9, 2013 Share Posted November 9, 2013 Oh fer cryin' out loud! My heart simply bleeds for him. Maybe if the guys and girls in Afghanistan were being paid half of what he is for a movie, I would feel some sympathy for him. On second thought... No, no I wouldn't.

Harvey Mushman Posted November 9, 2013 Share Posted November 9, 2013 He swallowed a lot of water in the filming of Top Gun when they ejected over the Pacific (after spinning sideways all the way from El Centro to the Pacific - Hollywood......), and thought he was drowning - panic. Gave max crap to the navy divers who "rescued" him. I had friends and co-workers who were technical advisors on the film. Self important Scum.

Cat Brules Posted November 9, 2013 Share Posted November 9, 2013 "Loser" is a good description of Tom Cruise. People intentionally refuse to go to see his films, whether they are good or bad. Nobody cares. He's branded himself as one to be shunned. Tried to jump start his faltering career by doing boy scout kiddee tricks, jumping up and down on oprah's sofa and wound up flushing his career instead. Plus, that bizarre, so-called church, based on bad science fiction novels. Geez. I guess everyone's forgotten how they seeded their enemies' mail boxes with rattlesnakes in the past. At least his wife had the good sense to escape from him with her daughter. Her dad is a lawyer and helped her engineer their disentanglement from him. Cruise's lawyers convinced him that to fight them would put the last nail in his career coffin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loophole LaRue, SASS #51438 Posted November 10, 2013 Share Posted November 10, 2013 CNN is running a column today that includes the actual words spoken by Cruise in the deposition; if it is accurate, Cruise scoffed at the idea that you could compare war with his job. Apparently, it was a lawyer for Cruise who made the comparison, and Cruise did not adopt the analogy. Asked if he agreed with the anology, he replied, ""Oh come on," Cruise says, "you know, we're making a movie." He's not my favorite, but I wouldn't hold him responsible for what some lawyer said. http://thelead.blogs.cnn.com/2013/11/09/tom-cruise-did-not-make-widely-reported-claim-that-acting-is-as-tough-as-combat/?hpt=hp_t2 And I do like "The Last Samurai".

Brother King, SASS #69031 Posted November 11, 2013 Share Posted November 11, 2013 Glad to see it was BS.

Charlie Harley, #14153 Posted November 11, 2013 Share Posted November 11, 2013 Okay, so Mr. Cruise didn't actually say what his lawyer is reported to have said. Two thoughts... First, it is entirely plausible to the average listener that what was purported to have been said, could have come from his mouth. As written in an earlier post, nobody would have believed it had the quote been attributed to Tom Selleck or Charlton Heston. Second, any mouthpiece that is hired by a celebrity speaks with the authority of that celebrity. If Mr. Cruise wanted a different image projected by his "people", he should hire different "people".

Utah Bob #35998 Posted November 11, 2013 Share Posted November 11, 2013 I agree that Cruise is mostly a screwball. But the truth is he didn't say it. And I won't blame him for statements his lawyer made in court. As an LEO I've had prosecutors make some real stoopid statements while arguing my case. Once you have something put in a court transcript, it's there forever. In this case, it appears that Cruise is a victim of misinterpretation by the media. Of course if he did say it, Hillary would say, "What difference does it make?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
