Things That Bang

The first time I laid eyes on Tom Cruise was when I was eleven year old. Top Gun became my favorite movie and I considered him to be the most handsome man since Harrison Ford. I got into arguments with people over his acting or lack of it as they insisted upon.

Today I finally saw Lions For Lambs and came back feeling surreal. Tom was at his best acting like a slimy Republican and I loved the part where he willed the tears to glimmer in his eyes, his patriotism and his political agendas seemed to mesh with SITH like smoothness.

I was deeply impressed with the movie as would anyone who understands the motivations that the Republican Party has towards the invasion of Iran but more so by Meryl Streep and Tom Cruises acting and not to mention his good looks.

So, coming back home I was still in the fluffy high school crush mode over Tommy's good looks when Bam! I saw a picture of Tom in Huffingtonpost looking like anything but Tom- he was fat and bald.

FAT AND BALD!! He didn't look like the Tom I have loved since I was a little kid!

Here are the first pictures of Tom Cruise in a fat suit and bald cap shooting his cameo for Ben Stiller's new comedy Tropic Thunder.

Tom is believed to be playing a studio mogul in the movie, which also stars Matthew McConaughey (replaced Owen Wilson), Robert Downey, Jr., Jack Black, Nick Nolte, Bill Hader and Justin Theroux.

To remove the impression of that violent imagery I'm sitting and watching Interview Of The Vampire , my favorite character Lestat played by Tom Cruise.
