Am I the only woman on the planet who's repulsed by Tom Cruise?

Ooooh! Ooooh! I forgot Linus Roache!

HA! I have such a crush on Rick Moranis! I love him to death. I don’t even know why.

I’m also totally in giggly puppy-love with Jimmy Fallon on SNL. Every time I see him I get all fidgety. He’s no Till, but he’s cute

jarbaby

Brad Pitt in Twelve Monkeys and that vampire movie, the name of which escapes me now. Very nice stuff. :slight_smile:

Interview With the Vampire? Only vampire movie I can think of with him in it.

Yeah, Crunchy Frog! Thanks!

I’m giddy with enthusiasm!!! I hate Tom Cruise!! He’s crosseyed, he’s got deplorable teeth, he’s scrawny and his hair sucks. All this besides his overall creepiness. Thank God!!!

I think Tom Cruise is outrageously beautiful myself. I could look at him all day (unless it meant sitting through “Top Gun” again, of course). Especially since he’s gotten older and craggier – I like a few lines.

Of course, I also think John Malkovich is a hottie, so what do I know?

Tom Cruise is disgusting. I can’t stand his teeth/ scrawniness/nose. He just looks wierd. As for Brad Pitt. I have NEVER found him attractive, ever. However, my BF thinks that he is hot sh**. Don’t know why, but I have somehow managed to overcome the jealousy :wink:

As for cute one, Harrison Ford could come visit me anyday! pant. He is so hot, although he is getting a little old. If Indiana Jones stopped by though…

Dean Cain…what can I say, he is just to gorgeous (especially with the glasses)

Brendon Fraiser- Anyone else see George of the Jungle? They don’t get much hotter then that. :smiley:

Sigh, I love daydreaming about movie stars…

My heart is pounding! This thread brings back the image of Tom Cruise in MI2 at the very beginning where he is rock climbing.
Breathe, Kate, breathe… you can type this…breathe
Then he is caught in a tough position and has his back to the rock and the camera zooms in on him… ACK!! I am all shaky thinking about it. He’s a doll. My fantasy.

Both Rick Moranis and Till Lindemann? jarbaby, you, if I may say so, have excellent taste.

I also have a whopping crush on Ian Thornley, who is the lead singer of the band Big Wreck. Also Raine Maida (sp?), who fronts the band Our Lady Peace, is to die for. In fact he married Chantal Kreviazuk, who I also happen to have a thing for. Now that would be a fun threesome.

As for movie stars, Giovanni Ribisi and Jon Cryer are very, very yummy.

Christina Ricci is pretty cute too.

One thing I don’t understand is Cindy Crawford. Everybody always says how good looking she is, but I always fail to see anything special. Am I weird, or does anybody else feel the same way?

Well, he looks good in the movies, but… enh…

You convinced Nicole Kidman. Her and Cruise are splitting…

Dislike:
Cindy Crawford - she is overgrown, rather ordinary looking, and has no talent.

Heather Locklear, Elizabeth Berkley and Pamela Anderson, because they seem so phony and dopey.

The Spice Girls. Ugh!

Like:
Jeri Ryan - Star Trek borg. Looks good in her outfit, but haven’t seen her in anything else.

I like that woman on the Drew Carey show. Christie ??

Christina Applegate on Married with Children always got my attention.

Shania Twain and Faith Hill make me enjoy country music.

Elle MacPherson and Rachel Hunter from down under.

Not repulsed, but bored. He just seems rather vacuous. I used to feel the same way about Keanu until I saw him interviewed by Charlie Rose the other night. He was unexpectedly animated and, yes, articulate. And very generous in praise of folks he’s worked with, especially Charlize Theron. When he talked about seeing Peter O’Toole as a kid and falling in love with acting, he exuded such passion. That’s the biggest turn-on for me, a man who’s passionate about something besides his own ego.

In that vein, am I the only one out there who thinks Kevin Spacey is sexy? I was so glad when American Beauty came out and I could talk about him without someone going, “that wierdo from Seven? Eeewwwww!”

No, Nicole Kidman doesn’t think all that much of him either…

In terms of acting talent, there seems to be a point in the careers of some talented actors in which they achieve a bit of success and promptly go out and have an enormous ego surgically implanted. Usually they have to remove some or all acting talent to make it fit in, too.

Take Kevin Costner, for example. Up to, say, Bull Durham, he could act. Then he became a heartthrob and started making movies which were all about “Hey look at me! I’m Kevin Costner!”, which were pretty much all crap. (Digression: did anyone actually see Patrick Bergen’s Robin Hood flick, released the same time as Prince of Thieves? Less explosions, but a much better film.)

Or Leonardo di Cappuccino – his early performances were amazingly good. Suddenly he’s on the cover of every teen magazine and he loses all sense of perspective.

Unfortunately, Tom Cruise hit this point around Risky Business.

I’m a guy, so I can’t really comment on the attractiveness of men. Consider, for example: My wife and I were flipping channels last night. We hit on a video for U2, something off the “Achtung Baby” album. I watch it for a second. Then I hear a strange moaning sound, and look over to see my wife basically drooling. I say, “What’s wrong?” And she says, “Bono.” And I say, “He’s good-looking?” And my wife looks over at me as if I’ve just offered to fellate the Pope.

So my comments on men are about their acting talent. Brad Pitt, for example, is turning out to be one hell of an actor, after a pretty-boy career. Leonardo DiCaprio, on the other hand, is doing the exact opposite (although he’s currently making a movie with Martin Scorcese, who’s known for his touch with actors). Tom Cruise is solidly professional, but in terms of his emotional chops, he’s like a really, really talented porno actor.

Oh, and to the women who have mentioned Brendan Fraser: I went to school with the guy. He is, in fact, dumber than a sack of wet mice, as many of you have suggested. In addition, he’s a complete klutz and dorkball, and he doesn’t have much of a “package,” if you know what I mean. He’s kind of charming and funny, and he’s actually a pretty good mime (!), but all of us were shocked to the point of cerebral implosion when his career took off. Now, though, he’s kind of a dick; when he meets one of us from the “old days,” he pretends he doesn’t know us, even those who were his good friends.

Re women:

I don’t get Julia Roberts either. She’s certainly got charm and charisma, and she gave absolutely the “right” performance in Erin Brockovich (not a great performance, but the right performance; there’s a difference), but there are certainly more attractive women in Hollywood. On the same line, I don’t get the infatuation with Angelina Jolie, either. Attractive, sure. The whole package? Not really.

For example: Madeleine Stowe. Ohmigod, I love her. And Sigourney Weaver certainly hasn’t suffered in middle age; she was a true hottie in Galaxy Quest, not to mention funny and smart at the same time.

But the pinnacle of female hotness for me: Gina Gershon. Sexy, smart, wiseass, just a hint of “I’m better than you, and I know it” without going over the top… Rrrrrowwrrr.
