If only there had been some movie cameras around they could have reshot the moment of silence.
Just another bloated, multinational movie production derailed by an explosive outburst. Too bad Cruise lacks the intestinal fortitude to weather the storm.
I wonder if Conan O’Brien will be trotting out the Gaseous Weiner again? 
So the moment of silence was to honor the German officers who tried to kill Hitler?
Didn’t we have a thread a while back, where it was established that these officer’s weren’t motivated by saving the Jews, stopping reprisals taken on civillians, draining children in occupied territories to resupply the army’s blood bank, etc. You know - the stuff the army had been either doing itself or standing by watching the SS do for years by that point. No, they just wanted somebody smarter in charge of the war before it was too late (which it was by then anyway).
You bet I’d fart on Tom Cruise’s moment of silence to these guys. I’d only wish he’d hold it in a small elevator.

The timing of the moment would make is seem like an intentional diss of Tom, however sometimes you just have to fart and when this occurs in public the timing is always bad. It’s like that phenomena where you’re at a loud party trying to talk to someone and as soon as you say something tremendously embarrassing or that could easily be taken out of context the room will go quiet a nanosecond before so you end up shouting it out for all to hear. The same applies to farts.
You know, even Miss Manners knows that in situations like this, you simply ignore “unmentionable sounds”.
Oh, what, you did you say, Tom? You were filming this moment of silence?
Then that moves it from a moving tribute (or whatever) to filming a P.R. spot. In which case, you use the standard industry practice for such situations, known colloquially as “take two”.
What a lame, uptight, self-righteous asshole he is. Like his farts don’t stink.
If it was being filmed for some P.R. spot couldn’t they just remove the offending sound?
Maybe, but what could they do about all the red faces trying to stifle laughter?
They’re going to dub over it with a recording of a Foley artist not farting.
“See, Matt, you don’t understand the history of farting and I do. There is no such thing as a chemical imbalance in a body. If you start talking about chemical imbalance and farting, you have to evaluate and read and smell the research papers on how they came up with these theories, Matt, okay? That’s what I’ve done. Did you know that Beano is now a street drug? Matt, Matt, Matt, Matt, Matt, Matt, you don’t even – you’re glib. You don’t even know what Beano is.”
I smell an Oscar for sound editing for this film!
sniffs Oh wait, that’s not an Oscar.
Maybe the fart represented the blast of the briefcase bomb, which similarly took everyone by surprise. Also the briefcase bomb plot failed, Hitler was furious and had the conspirators rooted out & executed. Similarly, Tom is going off on a tirade and threatening to root out and punish the culprit.
Maybe they cast him in the wrong role.
To paraphrase Winston Churchhill:
Would he have preferred chimes?
This week on CSI Berlin... :eek:Just like Gone With the Wind.
sniff sniff Who Oscared?
Wind chimes?
I bet it was Katie.
Hoist on His Own Petard, you might say.
Hitler farted a lot. Maybe this should be a comedy instead: the real reason Count Von Stauffenberg wanted to kill Hitler is because he couldn’t stop farting!
Ten bucks to the Doper that sneaks into this movie’s premiere wearing this.
I hope he wears that spiffy Nazi uniform while conducting his Captain Queeg-style investigation. That would be priceless.
