Tom Cruise On Letterman (Not Literally)


Last night. It was pretty kinky. Okay, that's just gross. A while back, Tom Cruise was a guest on the David Letterman show and I was hoping for entertainment, because Tom is a bit on the goofy (wacky kind) side now. He was there to promote not the 1st, not the 2nd, but the 3rd Mission: Impossible film. Sequels, that can mean only one thing, summer is almost here!

But anyway, back to Tom. He didn't jump on any couches. He didn't talk about Scientology. Dave didn't ask him about it or the "silent birth”. All they talked about were their kids pretty much and Tom gave very short answers, had a serious tone to his voice, a serious expression on his face and yet provided answers like he was a cast member of "Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure”. Actually, if you add all those elements together, it makes his appearance slightly amusing.

Dave asked if the whole process (birth) was easy and Tom's answer? "Yeah, it was easy." That was it. And yeah Tom, it was easy for you. You weren't the one pushing a newborn out your hole!

Letterman commented on Katie Holmes being good looking and Cruise responded with, "Yeah, she's good looking."

Then, you received a lot of, "It was awesome" or "It was unbelievable."

Tom did use the word "increment" at one point, so I was pretty impressed by that. Perhaps someone had it written on a cue card for him.

Dave then asked about a particular scene in the film and if it actually happened. Tom's response? Come on, take a guess. "Yeah, it was real." That was it.

You know, for an action star, paid mucho buckos to entertain the country, Tommy isn't too entertaining a person when you actually sit down and talk to (listen to, in our case) the guy. Even when the guy is serious, he's not very engaging. If it were up to him, he'd probably call for a twenty question true-false interview. Twenty words and then he'd be up and out.

It's too bad, because I enjoy most of his films. I wasn't a big fan of the second “Mission: Impossible,” but "Minority Report," "Vanilla Sky," "Collateral," "Eyes Wide Shut," "Magnolia" among others, I thought were quality films. I've learned to just appreciate celebrities for their talents, because some of them aren't so entertaining away from the screen.

Boycotting jukeboxes because of TouchTunes

I love music and enjoy hitting the bar(s) over the weekend, so naturally, when the mood strikes me, I've never been coy about playing some songs on the jukebox. This past Thursday, a friend of mine turned 50, so several friends of her's, including myself, all met up to celebrate the occasion. At around 9:30, a friend of mine and I both chipped in $5 to play some songs on the jukebox. Four hours and 231 skips later, we gave up on hearing the songs we had selected, and went home knowing we had just wasted $5. This wasn't the first time such a thing had happened to me (and many others), and due to that, I'll be boycotting jukeboxes. Why? The scam known as TouchTunes. You see, here's how the plot typically breaks down. A person (or group of people) downloads the TouchTunes app on his/her phone, consumes one too many adult beverages, and due to this, has less care for spending extra money to hear the songs of their choosing right NOW. That's the thing with TouchTun

The difference between "looking" and "checking out"

I may be way off with these numbers, but it's my approximation that at least 75% of individuals whom are involved in a serious relationship feel it's perfectly acceptable to "check out" members of the opposite sex they're not involved with. Meanwhile, approximately 25% either don't feel this is acceptable or aren't sure about the matter. I hadn't thought about this matter for a while, but since I've been dating a woman for about 8 months, the topic has been pondered about some. When reading or hearing others discuss this very issue, I often times hear comments similar to the following: "It's human nature to look." "There's nothing wrong with checking others out. I'm sure he/she does it too!" "It's fine to do it. Just don't tell your boyfriend/girlfriend about it or do it in front of them!" "It's natural to find people attractive." When observing the array of comments, I i

The verdict is in. To no one's surprise, Jonathan Hoenig has been found guilty of being an idiot.

Just recently, when discussing the Michael Brown shooting and whether or not race had anything to do with it, Fox News contributor Jonathan Hoenig said, "You know who talks about race? Racists." One moment while I provide Mr. Hoenig with the well deserved slow-clap. :: slow-claps for two seconds :: So, that was quite the line by Mr. Hoenig, wasn't it? "You know who talks about race? Racists." Well, wasn't he just talking about race? So, by his own words, I guess that makes him a racist. Also, if he wants to be consistent, does this mean that people whom talk about gender are sexists and people whom talk about sexual orientation are homophobes? With that line of thinking, Hoenig would engage in the following back-and-forths: Hoenig: "So, who are you voting for?" A woman: "The Democratic candidate, because he's been adamant about his support for equal rights for women." Hoenig: "You sexist feminist nazi!"
