Seriously. The police arrested 4 camera men because one of them squirted water through a joke mic

That is a bloody abuse of police time. There are pedo's, bullies hanging kids and high streets gradually becomming boxing rings without the ref and the rules. They are also attempting to charge him with assult, for SQUIRTING WATER?

I'm seriously considering ways of avoiding paying tax and sending it all to a charity of my choice if it's going to be spent like this.

Well I thought it was out of order personally.

Personally I'd call it a monumental waste of police time. If someone went up and squirted me with water I'd be lucky if a policeman even bothered listening to it, let alone following it up in any shape or form. Great example of how the law works if you have the money/power I suppose.

I'd have used acid on the annoying midget.

Maybe they thought a splash of water would knock some sense back into him. Dude is a total loony toon, esp. with the scientology bullcrap.

I dunno that he's a Lord of the Sith tho, that might be giving him too much credit, those guys aren't generally certifiably nuts.

Bandwidth exceeded.

Poo.

I heard about that on the radio this morn and that was pretty much my reaction too. Attempted assault for squirting water. FFS.

I don't have any time for Cruise and his sofa-jumping, woman-wrestling, mad gurning declarations of true love for a woman who he can't remember how he met, but I have to say I think my initial reaction would have been similar to his.
Basically if I was giving someone an interview (yeah I better fess up, I'm really Matthew McConaughey and no you can't have any money) and they randomly squirted me in the face with water, the 'What'd you do that for, you ******* prick?" response would be pretty much guaranteed. Or violent, if I wasn't caned out of my box and just desperate to get back to my bongoes.
How would Vinnie Jones react to that kinda thing, I wonder?

However, getting the police involved is just a ******* monumental waste of time and money and allows us to add 'humourless' and 'petty' to the list of personality problems that Cruise seems to have. What a totallly sad and pointless thing to do.

BTW, he's auditioned for the Joker in the next Batman movie, check it out.

i have no isue with him getting slightly pissed off.

Th enoption that anyone should be arrested is however a joke.

Its water. get over it.

Dullard idea for a show though.

Gah, I hate Cruise. He's such a tit.

If he's the Joker in the next movie, how am I supposed to keep up my avoidance of movies starring Tom Cruise? Missing War of the Worlds is bad enough, despite the fact that the story has been essentially castrated by their decision to relocate it from Empire-era London to contemporary New Jersey because "basically it's a story that can be told anywhere and anywhen" but really because "Americans would have difficulty understanding why Jack the Ripper isn't in it".

I dont have a problem with cruise, im comparison to toher hollywood types he does his best to spend time with his fans - we have all seen him walking up and down, speaking to ppls mums etc on the phone. at least he tries.

As for the water incident, I know id be pissed off, he was right the way he handled it - he calmly asked him why did he do that? and then fairly called him a jerk.

as for the arrest. you have police security regardless, its not like they call 4 officers in off another job, they are already there. they then arrested 4 guys.
I would assume its for making a public disturbance - u have to draw the line somewhere, I think they stepped over it.

As a TV star I think I would be worried over if its water or not acid or somthing, in a day and age where security fears are high, its dumb prank to play.
At least Dennis Pennis was clever.

And because whenever aliens invade Earth, apparently only Americans can save the planet. Hmm... Team America.

Well to be fair the original story was set in a world where Great Britain held all the trumps and called all the shots, and low and behold thats where the plot was based.

Don't see how thats any different to it being based in the US in an era when they decidedly run most thing.

I'm sure when China take over suddenly films will gravitate to be set in Beijing and stuff ^_^

Regardless of how I may feel (be it like or dislike) about Cruise, or what may have happened to the folks that nailed him with a joke water-squirting, there was no reason for it and I think he handled it fairly well (from the brief clip I saw on tv last night - that link's not working for me).

Yeah, if you don't arrest people for dampening celebrities, where will it end?

what?

How does squirting someone with water point in the direction of it turning nasty?

Its a stupid childish prank of no value but its in no way threatening and i think its rather hysterical tabloid nonsense for people to try and turn this into anything other than some guy getting a bit wet.

if i'm going to draw any lines it would be against the embaressing cult of celebrity and crap TV which s sseemingly designed to perpetually dumb down the masses.

draw a line - dont be a ****

watch it.

Cruise should have just laughed it off - he'd have gained a little kudos then.

IronHide · Post by **IronHide** » Wed Jun 22, 2005 5:43 pm

Maybe, but what would you do?

I'd be pissed if some random dude squirted me in the face with water.

Autobloke · Post by **Autobloke** » Wed Jun 22, 2005 5:45 pm

But 'celebrities' have to think about creating a bad image for themselves, and then having threads like this one posted about them. They should always leave the house expecting something like this event to happen to them.
Because I may be nearby...

And that's why we'd rather see you as a movie star than Cruise.

(zoomlens).
So, who actually likes the Cruiser?
I mean Tom, of course.

IronHide · Post by **IronHide** » Wed Jun 22, 2005 5:57 pm

I really only like some of the movies he's in. Few Good Men and Mission Impossible were great, then there was a stretch of sub par movies, then Collateral opened which was wicked cool. But overall as a person, no, I think he's off his rocker.

Autobloke · Post by **Autobloke** » Wed Jun 22, 2005 6:02 pm

To me, he always seems to play every role the same. But not in a good way, like Jack Nicholson.

Post by **Kaylee** » Wed Jun 22, 2005 6:03 pm

i liked top gun ^_^

Yeah Top Gun was killer to.

Ah, but he was playing a smug tw*t - and thus playing himself.
