# That was the last Tom Cruise movie I ever saw
After that I decided it just wasn't worth the bother any more

What a steaming pile of shit

# I got to about half way through
I think I mistook it for another film from around then that I hadn't seen, but I don't know know what that might be.

# Oh you're lucky
I watched it all the way through

and by the end I was so fucking livid that I added Tom Cruise to my list of actors that I will not watch. It's a list of precisely two at the moment, the other being Robin fucking bastard Williams.

# How about Jim irritating cunt Carrey?

# I'd have to check, as he doesn't seem to have been in much lately
*returning from IMDB*

The last Jim Carrey movie I saw was Eternal Sunshine, which wasn't too bad. I've seen Man on the Moon and Truman Show as well, neither of those are terrible.

Films I didn't even know he was in: Dead Pool and Earth Girls Are Easy.

There's nothing on the level of What Dreams May Come or anything in the Cruise ouvre there, sorry.

# But... but... he can run around and talk really quickly and loudly and pull faces!
Yeah... I don't like him either.

# Which, given the demands of the roles of The Mask and Ace Ventura made him rather a good fit.
And Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind is a fantastic film.
So, all in all, I think he gets by.

But fuck me, most Robin Williams films could turn Mr Happy suicidal.

# ^ with knobs on
People think he's funny but his skills are as you said:

1. Talks and acts manically
2. Pulls faces
3. Er
4. That's it

Which is why he was paid 1/3 more than your average actorrr

# Listen to his earlier works
In particular, the old radio series "I'm sorry, I'll read that again".

Interesting fact : the 25th anniversary episode is possibly the only time he's performed the silly walk on radio.

# Me too
I liked the atmosphere, the feeling through the film of "I know something odd is going on here and can't wait to find out what".

I liked the STORY. Remember those? Stories?

# I was just typing the plot into a reply when I decided against it
in case anyone hadn't seen it. I didn't want to spoil it.

It's a very good story. One of those films you have to pause if you're going to make a cup of tea because there are clues scattered throughout.

It's one of those films where I said "OMFG" when the plot was revealed at the end.

# I hate the hyperactive midget
but I preferred his film over Abre Los Ojos because Cruise's smug self-satisfaction and fall from his privileged position is what really drives the story - I didn't get quite the same sense of that with an unfamiliar actor.

# I like the trailer
Tom running round an empty New York to Mint Royale

Saw the whole thing and thought it was pretentious arse.
Then find out it was a remake of a french film, thus proving my poiint
