Whether he's an assh*le or not is not important to me. Russell Crowe is considered to be one and I think he's a very good actor.

There's one actor that people absolutely delight in calling him terrible, who's unfairly, universally singled out as the worst actor today - Keanu Reeves. And guess what, I was never one of those people. Sure, he's not a great one, can be very inadequate and clumsy sometimes. But he has something that Cruise doesn't have - even when he's terrible there's always an honesty and truthfulness at the core of his acting, some kind of childlike innocence. That makes him far more watchable for me than Cruise. That's when I can see the charisma instead of acting ability.

The point is - I can forgive 'woodiness' and clumsiness in acting, but I can't forgive fakeness.

None of this makes any f*cking sense whatsoever.

Acting is inherently fake. That's why it's acting.

Keanu has no charisma or anything redeemable whatsoever (Bill and Ted movies being the sole exception). Cruise can be hammy sometimes but he's often entertaining when he is, I don't think Cruise is really that fake, because's a type cast actor and he's great at playing assh*les (Rain Man, Magnolia, Tropic Thunder) and he IS an assh*le so what's so fake about that?

HOLY ****.

Seriously though, even though it is insanely graphic(I wonder what people thought of this in 1973?!) it was a very, very good film. I will definately be buying this one and watching it again.

*P.S. I didn't know how big the picture was, and normally I'd change it, but I think this film deserves it.

A Clockwork Orange wasn't released on DVD/VHS until 2001 or something because of the graphic nature.

And yes, the film does deserve the big image. Masterpiece.

You've seen Toy Story 3?!?!?! WHAT THE FUDGE. It's out?!

EDIT: I've just text someone saying Toy Story's out. Let's go cinema. I thought it was out in July for some reason..

Intense film, didnt like it at first but it grew on me. Not one you can watch multiple times though. It gets pretty heavy.

I'm so sorry that you weren't able to make any sense of what I was saying. I thought I was as clear as I could be trying to explain something that subjective as not liking a certain actor.

You're not really telling me anything here. Every art is fake, with acting it's just the most obvious. But, we're not supposed to see that fakeness. That's why some actors are more believable than others.

I don't have a problem with typecast actors or with hammy entertaining ones (hey, I like Nic Cage when he does that). But Cruise is annoying rather than entertaining. I don't believe him even when he's playing assh*les, he's not authentic even when he plays himself. That's how bad he is to me.
