Tom Cruise v. Brad Pitt

Monksdown · 05-12-2006, 04:43 PM

I think that some people arent tough enough mentally to handle the type of hype that has surrounded Tom for 2 decades. It will change you, make you more aloof. And it will appear that he has a superiority complex because he is really not in touch with reality as you and I know it.

I think Tom is the better actor, but it's a close heat. Interview with a Vampire is a good way to compare them.

At least Pitt seems like a guy who you could sit at a bar and drink a beer with. He doesn't seem like a Hollywood asshole really.

Angelina Jolie vs Nicole Kidman vs Jennifer Aniston vs Katie Holmes.

First off, I'm I the only guy on the planet who doesn't find Anelina attractive?

On a scale of 10 here is my rating for each acctress:

Nicole Kidman - 9.9 - Sexy Redhead. I have a thing for redheads.
Katie Holmes - 8.9 - Pretty and innocent looking face.
Jennifer Aniston - 7.5 - Not spectacular but OK.
Angelina Jolie - 7 - Is is OK, but she ain't as hot as people say she is. Not to me anyways.

p.s. Tom lost people when he started divulging his personal life. I don't really want to hear you're a Scientologist. It makes you seem stupid.

Actually Interview With a Vampire was good. I think the general perception is that Brad is your basic cool guy whereas Cruise is well, I think people have different perceptions of him...but when it comes to pure acting it's pretty close.

Nothing wrong with lobster** from time to time, but I'll take a steak first.

But don't get me wrong. I wouldn't kick Jennifer Aniston out of bed for eating crackers!

* I purposefully avoided using chocolate and vanilla for my food metaphors, thereby steering the thread away race.

Yay me!

** Here is another instance where the chocolate/vanilla metaphor may have blown up in my face. By comparing Aniston to "lobster" instead of "vanilla", I should now also avoid replies like: "Jenifur Anstinon is not vanillllaaaaaa!!!!!!!!!!!!!!111!! I pwn ur Mom!!!!!!111!!"

Im always pleasantly surprised by how many arguments are actually won by just saying "snatch." I rely on the various meanings to enhance every social outing I find myself at.

it goes, aniston, katie, nicole, jolie.

Besides, Angelina Jolie is also the only woman on the face of the planet that the average straight woman would do.

That's the ultimate trump card in my book!

After her, I'd go for Nicole, Aniston, and then, well, eh.

You can keep the other one. The terrified doe in the headlights look she's been sporting the past few months just doesn't do it for me.

I know where BrudLee is.

pitt has been in better movies and his girlfriends are hotter than cruises... and he's not completely fucking pyscho.

I call her "doe in the headlights look" her "d in her mouth look"

Angelina is a freak show (making out with brother, keeping vial of blood around her neck). Nicole is "ehhh." Aniston is by far the best of the bunch.

My friend met Tom Cruise the other day in L.A. and she said he was actually one of the nicest people she had ever spoken to (even if it was for 5 minutes). He seems like one of the nice crazy guys.
