The Evil that is Tom Cruise & The Wonder that is PS3






Just Begging to be Despised

It's official - I hate Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes, with placed emphasis on Tom Cruise. It's almost unfair to include the semi-innocent, yet wholly youthful Katie Holmes, since it's predominantly Tom's incoherent preaching and eat-shit-happy gloating which arouses such disgust in me, as well as so many others; but the fact still remains that she is his significant other (How could we forget that, when Tom so obligingly and constantly reminds us all?), and that she is one major cause of his recent maniacal behavior - unforgivable! She is also the only person who could put a stop to all of this madness, and yet she allows it to persist!.. but I digress; Ms. Holmes fades into the background like a dim lamp whenever Tom begins his ambiguous rantings. Did anybody catch 'The Today Show'? Matt Lauer is an angel for putting up with that lunatic... he attempted in every manner to salvage Tom's doomed dignity... even if the enemy was Tom's own mouth. As we all know, Tom admitted to being dyslexic last year, and as a friend of mine so slyly pointed out: maybe that's why he thinks he's right when he's just soo wrong :) In case you missed the shenanigans, here it is as posted on a weblog enhanced with random, amusing pictures...

You Can't Make It Up: Cruise UnControllable

Another high-larious interview was this one; will he ever stop making himself look like a douche bag?..

Dr. Cruise: I’m a helper. For instance, I myself have helped hundreds of people get off drugs. In Scientology, we have the only successful drug rehabilitation program in the world. It’s called Narconon.

SPIEGEL: That’s not correct. Yours is never mentioned among the recognized detox programs. Independent experts warn against it because it is rooted in pseudo science.

Dr. Cruise: You don’t understand what I am saying. It’s a statistically proven fact that there is only one successful drug rehabilitation program in the world. Period.

SPIEGEL: With all due respect, we doubt that. Mr. Cruise, you made studio executives, for example from Paramount, tour Scientology’s "Celebrity Center" in Hollywood. Are you trying to extend Scientology’s influence in Hollywood?

Dr. Cruise: I just want to help people. I want everyone to do well."


Just more irrefutable evidence that Tom is indeed a crazy person (in case you're not convinced http://www.gawker.com/news/tc7.jpg)... I won't even mention The Oprah Winfrey show, but I guarantee that Spielburg is pulling his hair out right now. I've been saying it, and I'll continue to say it... 'War of the Worlds' just isn't going to get the publicity that it deserves. Anytime it's mentioned all you can think about is Tom Cruise jumping up and down on a couch, and every time he's supposed to be out promoting the film he just ends up turning the conversation into a love sonnet for Katie Holmes or an advertisement for Scientology... the religion that the Washington Post described in the article, A Couch Tom Cruise Won't Jump On, as being "...founded, mind you, by a hack science fiction writer." If I were Spielburg, I'd have him killed for ruining my multi-million dollar, potential Blockbuster-hit film... All of that work, and for what?.. Each time we see Cruise's shit-eating grin we'll simply be reminded of how lovely Katie is, or how dangerous Ritalin is. I half expect that the next time I go to the theatre to watch a movie, and a 'War of the Worlds' preview comes on, that a man's voice will boom into the crowd "We now interrupt this trailer for an announcement by Tom Cruise..." then Tom will burst through the screen to yell in my face "I love Katie Holmes! Don't take NyQuil! Brooke Shields is evil!"

This was the final straw that broke the camel's back for me:
Tom Cruise Marches His Crazy Parade to ‘The View’

'Nuff said.





A Little Slice of Gamer Heaven

My sister stated in awe the other night that she would sell her soul to own one of these... and somehow - I don't blame her. Oh mighty and wondrous PS3! How you have proved your superiority against the upcoming Xbox360... admittedly created with the target area of forgotten gamers, also known as mothers and daughters. With a marketing technique like that one, I almost anticipate it to be bright pink and sport little bunny rabbits with purple flowers. PS3... How can one deny your sleek, futuristic cool?.. In three different colors, no less! I bet you could fly if you wanted to. For those of you who are not dorky enough to own a subscription to Game Informer (a very awesome magazine), I am supplying a link to a web page that has screen shots from the PS3, as well as a photo of the game system itself. I must say, though that the screen shots are much more impressive and crystal clear in the magazine. My advice is for you to get with it and subscribe.

Without further ado... I present to you the marvel that is the PS3...

And if that wasn't enough to get you off... Well, then... you're just dead inside.


Thanks goes to Tripp for this link: Eat your heart out...
