I watched it. Heard more past pain and present fear than anything funny.

I'm not a big Tom fan. But I enjoy MI.

Oddly I agree with Adam, Jason, Matt and Gary.

I just visited the bodies exhibit in Las Vegas. I see why Sir Fred Hoyle, the famous UK astronomer, wrote: "A super intellect has monkeyed with physics, as well as with chemistry and biology … The likelihood of the formation of life from inanimate matter is one to a number of 10 with 40 thousand noughts (zeros) after it."

As a programmer after working months on a "masterful" program I can just imagine the probability that a mistake could be introduced into that program that would make it gloriously better. Then multiply that by trillions of beneficial mistakes (mutations). The intricacy of every system in our bodies is boggling.

So I agree with Mr. Hoyle as well.

I too am a person of faith, but I'm skeptical of religion. Too much of us interjected into religion to satisfy me.

This assumes our 5 senses are all you need to know what's going on around you right now.

Yeah I get what you're saying but in the case of Tom Cruise you're never watching a character, you're always watching Tom Cruise. For me at least, that makes it difficult to suspend disbelief and write off the cult of Scientology as the backing store. Watch this...

I don't have a problem with anything Tom Cruise says in this video. He's obviously a very smart person and very driven. He believes what he believes. Who am I to tell him he's wrong? Nobody else has any better answers as far as I'm concerned. I'm hoping the Large Hadron Collider gives us some more answers once they crank it back up.

For those that still watch TV, soon you'll be able to enjoy Scientology from the comfort of your own home! Thanks to Cruise!!

Good. It's better than going through life believing what you were told to believe.

I liked Tom Cruise in "Jack Reacher", I hope they make some more Jack Reacher movies.

Bill, his movies are okay but After having read most of the Reacher books I had a hard time watching Cruise at 5'7" play a character that in my minds eye is 6' 4 or 5" tall and weights around 240 lbs. :scratch:

Since I seem to have run out of dislikes...

There is little in this world so boorish as the militant atheism of pseudo-intellectuals who try to boil complex philosophy down to quaint soundbytes in vain efforts to publicly fluff their own egos.

I don't care that Tom is a Scientologist (I cannot fathom how he lost Nicole after she bought him a mustang, though).
I don't care that you are an Atheist - until you start in with your unprovoked (but predictable) insults.
You needn't care that I am Catholic - especially not to the point of providing unsolicited denunciation of all religion as a cult.

While I am not Catholic, David, I do agree with your post.

All I know is I like movies. I don't like hearing the actors in the movies I like talking about their religion or political views. I just pay my fee to be entertained and could care less how you live your life and do not want to know.

We flew to Scottsdale for dinner and a movie (Mission Impossible). We are not Tom Cruise fans but this is one of the better Mission Impossible.

We even dodged a little weather enroute.

This is the personal incredulity fallacy.

As boggling it may be to some people, evolution is not hard to understand, and it is not made any less true by those who prefer to misunderstand it.
