Boycott Mission Impossible: 3

Tom Cruise is the single most overrated actor on the planet and in the history of acting going all the way back to the time of Sophocles. To top it if off, he is an arrogant, egotistical twit who thinks he's the most brilliant human being alive. Now, most actors are pretty stupid people. Five seconds of listening to them say anything that someone else didn't write for them will confirm that, but Cruise is in a league of stupidity all his own.

First of all, he's a scientologist, which is proof enough that he is so stupid that he shouldn't be allowed to handle sharp objects unsupervised. Scientology is a religion that was invented as a bar bet between L. Ron Hubbard and Robert Heinlein as to who could make the most money off of religion. (Heinlein lost because he didn't think big enough - all he could come up with was to retell the story of Jesus as a cannablistic hippy raised on Mars) Anyone who buys into that crap about Xenu and the frozen alien souls being tossed into a volcanoe is a freaking moron. Newsflash: Hubbard was a science FICTION writer! And he wasn't even a good one. Is there any surprise that the theology he came up with looks like a bad science fiction plot?

Second there is the case of Cruise's raging ego. What kind of an arrogant asshole takes an ensemble TV show and makes it in a movie and then in the first ten minutes, kills off the entire ensemble except his own character? Anyone doubt that when he was producing this film, his instructions to the writers were: "I want every scene to feature me! It's all about me! Me! Me! Me!"? I remember watching the trailer for that movie and noticing that every scene in it feature Cruise. It was like he was the only actor in the movie.

Third, there is the simple fact that he cannot act. I am so sick of his wooden, fake sensitive routine that he plays in every movie. "You complete me. blah blah blah" F--K you, Cruise! You play the same damn character in every movie. There isn't an Imax theater big enough to contain your ego.

Fourth, how can anyone buy his "crazy in love" routine. That he's gay is just about worst kept secret in Hollyweird. (Note to John Travolta and Mathew Broderick: You guys aren't fooling anyone either). Now, I personally couldn't care less who is gay and who isn't, but I detest hypocrisy and every time I see him that clip of him jumping up and down on Oprah's couch I want to vomit.

Fifth, there's his idiotic interview with Matt Lauer last year where he attacked Brooke Shields. "I know the history of psychiatry." Really, Cruise? How about you give us a detailed comparison of Freudian vs. Jungian theory? Can you explain the difference between an anxiety disorder and a psychosis? How about defining cognitive therapy for us? The only thing you know about psychiatry is what you read in a scientology pamphlet. Hell, you probable get confused reading the instructions on a stop sign.

Finally, there's the report of him using behind the scenes manipulation to get an episode of South Park pulled from the schedule at Comedy Central because it made fun of him. That's the last straw for me. Anyone who forces a network to censor its programming is scum to me. I will never again watch a Tom Cruise movie. In fact, I will actively encourage others to boycott MI:3. Since he seems to feel that he has the right to tell others what they can watch, I think it's only fair that I at least try to persuade others not to watch his garbage. Spending money on one of his movies is the same as giving it to scientology anyway. F--k him. F--k scientology. And F--k Katie Holmes while we're at it for agreeing to get knocked up just to lend credibility to the myth that they're dating.
