I have all the books I could need, and what more could I need than books? I shall only engage in commerce if books are the coin. -- Catherynne M. Valente

I confess that I have never, ever liked Tom Cruise, even before he let the crazy out of the bag. The on ly movie of his that I've watched more than once is Top Gun, and that was for Val Kilmer. (RIP, Hot Kilmer.) I have a friend who hates him for the way he runs because it's so deliberate. Like you can see him think, "I. Am. RUNNING!" as he does it. And now I can't unsee it. He does run a lot in his movies. (Well, the previews, anyway. I can't think of the last TC movie I actually watched.)

My ex was in Top Gun. He said TC was an ass and Val Kilmer was super-cool. TC wouldn't walk the boat without three Marine bodyguards because hey, he was TOM CRUISE everybody! Val at his meals with the enlisted and was generally a blast to work with. I was a Kilmer fan since Real Genius; I always thought TC was overrated and had a big, crooked nose.
And on that note, my BFF's husband broke TC's nose with a door when they were filming on the ship (or at least made it swell and bleed). They called General Quarters and TC didn't get out of the way of the door as ex and friend went running through. Friend looked back and saw marines pressed against the wall to let them through and TC was behind the door they had slammed open...against his face. I laugh to this day.

No surprises that Tom is an ass. Not even a little bit. I suspect he has always been an ass and the fame and money just allows him to feel comfortable letting the ass flag fly.
He was at least cute back then. As was Val, but Val has a nose like my Dad's, so I could never get that into him. The nose fucked up his chances with me.
