Film School Rejects: Dear Tom Cruise, Please Let This ‘Butch Cassidy’ Rumor Be False

  • Draechon · 7 months ago
    That movie has always been in my top 10 films, having been pre-determined even before birth by my mother's love for for all things Robert Redford, and my dad only ever having respected two actors, Steve McQueen and Paul Newman. As for filling Sundance's role, Brad Pitt could have at a younger age, but who could play Butch and fill the shoes of Newman? This movie has it all, and a remake should never have been discussed.

    Are we sure the rumor isn't just that Cruise wants to start making his own line of organic salad dressings?

    A big question in all this is: Should Merrill Lynch and Bank of America be engaged in Hollywood movie making after receiving taxpayer money in the form of the TARP?

    If Merrill Lynch's half-billion dollar contract with MGM/UA/Tom Cruise cannot be broken--like the AIG bonuses--then shouldn't movie executive compensation be set to no more than $250,000 per year? And, if such movie executives make more than that, they should be taxed at the 90% tax rate that the House of Representatives passed concerning people getting the AIG bonuses.

    This movie financing with taxpayer money should be a matter of taxpayer and congressional outrage! It is putting government money at too much risk; especially after the "Valkyrie" and "Lions to Lambs" failures.

    Let your congressman and senators know how you feel.

    Tom should get back to jumping on couches.

    Hurl? No, that's not strong enough... how about projectile-vomit? Sure, I could see Brad Pitt, he's a hell of an actor, but Tom Cruise needs to go suck on a tailpipe, preferably that of an 18-wheeler. Die already.

    I want to start an agency that infiltrates the boards of every major film studio. And everytime someone says something "ridiculously stupid", I want my members to slip them the Matrix pill. And at that very moment replace the stupid idea with one that "is obviously" the smarter choice. The same for all the Big Name Talent with no talent at all. I wanna be the person that says bad idea, try again, as in those V-8 commercials. I like those intelligent actors that have a "I won't work with______________ clause" in their contracts. Studios won't get the fact that we don't want bad remakes if we as the paying public continue to go and see them.

    I wouldn't mind Cowboy Cruise as long Tranny Travolta wasn't there.
