Tonight I will embark on the Tom Cruise non-German-accent opus known as Valkyrie, a movie that was doomed to fail but in fact performed moderately well considering the immense amount of bad press he received. To honor this sure to be meh occasion I give you three Tom Cruise related videos. The first is his infamous Scientology interview, where he talks about Scientology things set to the Mission: Impossible music. If you don't feel goosebumps of fear and/or nervousness you might want to check your pulse, because he is batshit crazy in this. The only comfort I feel is knowing that this was probably recorded around M:I 1 filming time, so he's had over a decade to mellow out. [Editor's Note: I looked up some of the Scientology definitions he uses to try and make sense of it all and they don't really help but here they are- KSW means Keeping Scientology Working or helping it spread, and SPs are people who do not support and are critical of Scientology]
The second video features Rebecca Romijn's spouse Jerry O'Connell, who does an incredible bed-wetting impression of Tom, but instead of talking about Scientology he talks about being an actor during the past Writers Guild struggles of 2008.
Finally, I've saved the best for last. A long, long time ago in a galaxy far, far away there were such a thing as the MTV Movie Awards and they didn't totally suck. During this odd time in this netherworld, a video was made by one Ben Stiller as Tom Cruise's lifetime stunt double, Tom Crooze. The fact that Cruise almost never uses a stunt double is neither here nor there, because Crooze has helped him in all of his movies: Magnolia, M:I 2, Risky Biz and my personal favorite Cocktail. I could loop the latter and watch it for hours. To honor Tom's power and greatness, take some time to watch the below videos and please, enjoy.
