I thought I was "over" Tom Cruise.
Apparently, I am not.
He is the master.
And I am not talking about Scientology.
Or Katie Holmes.
I'm talking about Rock Of Ages
My parents are visiting and like the good hosts we are, Zed and I gave them a ten minute warning that we were going to go see a movie. Zed did not want to see "Rock of Ages". He had no interest. I sort of just forced it on him.
And honestly, for the first fifteen minutes, I thought I was going to have to "owe" him big for this one. The first fifteen minutes of this movie stink.
Big Time.
But, stick with it. It gets a whole lot better. Trust me. How can you go wrong with a movie filled with 80's music? Alec Baldwin, Paul Giamatti, Catherine Zeta-Jones. Russell Brand and Bryan Cranston are fantastic.
Plus, there is a monkey in it. And according to Zed, "Monkey's make everything better."
But Tom Cruise was the best. He was so damn good. I am not sure if he is "Oscar" good, but definitely "Golden Globe" good. The way he made his tiny little compact body look like a lanky Rock God, was such a turn on.
I was very attracted to him. The way he "Axl Rose'd" his body on that stage was such an aphrodisiac. It actually put me in a bit of a frenzy. At one point I almost whispered to Zed that he was going to get "lucky tonight." But, then I realized that I might have to actually follow through and there was not point in getting his hopes up.
Sort of like making plans to meet your friends for dinner only to find out they want to go to Smitty's.
Well, I better go. I'm going to go and watch this movie...
Actually, not the movie, just the volleyball scene. Probably about fifteen times.
You've convinced me. Made plans with the girls to see it tomorrow. I'll be sure to post my thoughts....
ReplyDeletePLEASE DO! I am just hoping to hell I am not the only one who is open to welcoming Tommy back into their beds.. I mean hearts.
Deletetom cruise has been dead to me since the couch-jumping. I will not willingly watch any project in which he's involved.
ReplyDeleteGet your little "straight" ass to the movie. Then we will talk.
DeleteNO! I'm still pissed that I didn't know about his cameo. . . or whatever they called it in Tropic Thunder. I felt like I'd broken a promise to myself.
DeleteBAHAHA! Poor Jim. He was sooooo good in Tropic Thunder!
DeleteI want to be attracted to him and then I remember that he's almost 50!!! And then I can't. go. there.
ReplyDeleteLOL. So you are "age'ist"?
DeleteReally? I mean I use to be a Tom fan and then he started jumping on couches and he just lost me. I'm gonna have to think about this one, I hear he's wearing eye liner in this too, true? That could be a deal breaker....
ReplyDeleteOh its a deal maker. TRUST ME.
DeleteI'm with you, Kyla! I went to the movie with the idea that I was willing to TOLERATE Tom Cruise for the sake of the music. At one point during the movie if I could have licked his sweaty, tattooed body I would have!! So much for tolerating him...I LOVED HIM!!! (And I NEVER imagined I would EVER say that about Tom Cruise again!) He can jump on my couch any day!
ReplyDeleteFINALLY. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you.
DeleteLMAO @ Jump on my couch any day!
I didn't let any couch-jumping or personal life stuff keep me from watching Tom's movies...however I actually didn't enjoy Rock of Ages that much!
ReplyDeleteJust found you through the Blissdom Newbies group! See you in October!
