However will he and Katie be able to have little Pillow scotchguarded when winter comes?
And we all know what happens when you leave Paramount: you wind up at MGM, where Irving Thalberg makes you costar with Kitty Carlisle or Nelson Eddy!
I imagine Tom must be feeling rather depressed. Maybe Brooke has some leftover Prozac.
Too funny.
It would be funny indeed if Tom looked at this and said, “Oh, right, wife, kid, family, career. Got it.” and cleaned up his act, went to another studio and made them eight hundred bajillion dollars worth of movies in the next ten years or so.
He says he’s got hedge funds lined up to finance his films – no studio oversight.
Battlefied Earth2, anyone?
Dang! Battlefield Earth 2
Brilliant!
I hope Tom takes some acting lessons in his time off. I’m constantly amazed that he gets by on a glare and a smirk.
Ha-ha!
Even given his eccentricities he is a good and professional actor for the types of roles he is called upon for, and his movies are generally pretty successful. It’s quite odd that a public rebuke like this would be made. Seems a bit bridge burning. Must be a lot of back story to it for it to come to this.
I wish I knew how to spell “schadenfreud” - that German word for being happy for another’s misfortune. Couldn’t have happened to a better guy! Oh - and whoever mentioned the word “wife” above, please remember that he’s another celebrity setting the great example of have baby first, get married after (maybe).
“Schadenfreude”. You got it almost right.
Yeah, he’s a douche.
But come on, he really is a great actor. Look to the scene where he finally breaks down in front of his dying father in Magnolia for proof of that.
I cry a tear of sympathy and regret.
Actually, no, I don’t. Guy’s a pretty big jerkbag.
Now NOT coming this fall:
A Few Good Men 2: Fewer, Better Men
Days of Thunder 2: Nights of Lightning
Riskier Business
He’ll know he’s really in the shit if they cast him as Jerry MacGuire’s brother in that sequel…
You forgot something:
This post has been Electric Boogaloo’ed! by the Electric Boogalooer.
Mostly Clueless - Danke schoen (hopefully correct spelling)
He has his moments, but I still say he’s more “star” than “actor”. And he managed to fuck that up, too.
Imagine that nice boy dancing in his underwear to Bob Seeger turning out the way he has.
Wait-- what’s the difference between the two?
Hmm. Scientologist pariahs earn less money. Who knew. Why didn’t they just say so?
