    Tom Cruise. Only worthwhile movies are Risky Business, and Magnolia.

    Hate to say it, but he was very impressive in Magnolia.

  He has won an Oscar just vomiting
  It should take more than that
  A real bad page for the Oscar
  Must be very strongly sponsored ...
  But anyway he is in very good company
  Brad Pitt, Johnny Depp, ... always the same superior and fixed expression
  Models maybe ... Actors no

  He lives in some outback here in New Mex. In his infrequent public appearances, he confirms that the smug motherfucker persona is real.
  
  A couple years back, he testified to the state legislature to support cockfighting (while the whole world is against it). A reporter stopped him afterward for questions, starting wirh asking him to confirm his name for the taped interview. His response: "look it up in the goddam record", then pushed past, back into wherever it is he holes up.
  
  His behavior on movie sets is reported to be similar, so acting for him ain't acting. It's almost free money. Hate that little shit.
