I still have never watched this movie, mostly because I am not a fan of Tom cruise.

[–] Crackhappy@lemmy.world 23 points 1 year ago (1 children)

He's probably the least Tom cruise in this.

I didn't even recognize him in tropic thunder.

I don't like Tom Cruise, or Tom Cruise movies either, but this is a classic.

The isn't that much Tom Cruise in it and the part where he is, is fantastic.

Best description of the guy I have ever heard.

I know you've already gotten a bunch of responses, but I'd like to add that the movie isn't about Cruises character. It's about how a different character became a vampire and his history dealing with it, while running into Cruises character a few times.

He's a co star.

“I finally got it,” Jordan wrote. “He had to live a life removed from the gaze of others. He had made a contract with the hidden forces, whatever they turned out to be. He had to hide in the shadows, even in the Hollywood sunlight. He would be eternally young. He was a star. He could well be Lestat.”

Oh snap.

Tom Cruise is a vampire?

[–] intensely_human@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

Daniel Day Lewis would have been a terrible choice for Lestat. Why would anybody think Lewis for that role?

I mean he was good, but he's certainly no Sam Reid
