    I wasn't going to watch it anyway, but now I'm boycotting it.

    Orson Wells is a hard act to follow. No one had beat him yet, imho...

    Um, i guess i can't be bothered. But, it's a good idea. Imagine if the drug companies percieved cruise and his quack religion as a threat to their sales. Heehee. That would be priceless.

    hey orbi,

    tom cruise is stupid. as a person. i give him one of the worst insults in our culture: stupid.

    however, war of the worlds is not about tom cruise. it's about so much more than tom cruise. i would have loved to see a different actor play the main roll, but that is hollywood. they have no concept of what the war of the worlds means to generations of sci fi fans.

    so no, i will not be boycotting it.

    if tom cruise invited me to a private regatta party, i WOULD boycott it. and i would MOST other hollywood celeberties too. they may not go out on the stupid limb like he did, but so many of them are just like he is.

    it's our fault buying into hollywood, not tom cruise.

    I think Tom Cruise is going to freakin' WRECK War of the Worlds. I cannot imagine going to watch him run around screeching for two hours. Although Tim Robbins might almost make up for it, depending on his screen time.
    A Sci-Fi fan and H.G.Wells fan who was utterly disappointed when they cast Tommy boy to play Ferrier.

    I haven't seen the interview but just some clips of cruise critiquing the psychiatry and claiming there is no such thing a chemical imbalance . I think he was wrong . I think just by the foods we eat can create a chemical imbalance , like alot of kids that eat too much sugar are hyperactive . I don't think about boycotting the movie but will probly see it at matinee .......... so there
