Whatever Happened to...

Ben Stiller and Tom Cruise?

I missed the MTV VMA Awards. For the 5000th year in a row! How will I ever stay current? FourFour's recap caught me up. The show looks worse than I remember it being! MTV - always current! One piece did catch my eye - the fact that Tom Cruise came out as Les Grossman from Tropic Thunder and danced with J.Lo. WTF! The character wasn't even funny in the movie he was being paid to be funny in!

Today I find this item - that Ben Stiller is developing a movie solely for Tom's Les Grossman character. As if that link isn't warning enough...this movie is going to be horrible! I know this is a boring/standard complaint but why does Hollywood keep making terrible movies??? Tom Cruise has pretty much annoyed me ever since I was old enough to realize he's bonkers (aka age 5). Aside from Cocktail I really can't stand him/his body of work.




But Ben? I had a little more respect for him. How can you hate a guy who marries Melody from Hey Dude? Exactly you can't. Now I can. Ben Stiller isn't funny anymore. I saw him on Extras and heard rumors of his crazy outbursts, but I took awhile to believe it. Now I think he's just out of touch with what is funny and it's believable that he rages about that. It's a sad day when the once "funny" and "hot" guys of my childhood are revealed to be out of touch dads with anger issues.

I think he was playing himself on Curb Your Enthusiasm, except they probably asked him to tone it down...aka it does seem like he's a sensitive boy with a fragile ego and a tendency to blow up at people.

But who knows! But I also get the sense (also from CYE) that Melody is sort of a b. Which you would have to be to tolerate that guy.

"bitch stupid baby" Classic episode of Curb. Man I can't wait for season 7 to come out on netflix!!!!! Great post btw, I loved Hey Dude - such a comforting summertime show.
