Tom Cruise Went Ballistic Over a Couple Guys Ignoring COVID Protocols and Not Wearing Masks On Set

By on • ( Leave a comment )

Ya know, I used to think Tom Cruise was kind of like a Streisand, but he’s really rocking the shit out of this one. Normally I’d feel bad for the poor schmuck working on the set of a movie facing the wrath of some out of touch, prima donna actor like the infamous Christian Bale flip out. But not this time. Wear the goddamn mask or we all lose our jobs seems like a pretty reasonable request. If people are flaunting Covid protocols I can understand the frustration, especially as we go through a borderline culture war in this country between people that take masks seriously and people that don’t. But on top of that, if you’re the boss, the star of the movie, the producer etc. and people are straight up ignoring what you’re telling them to do? You’re fired. Seriously, don’t even grab a bagel.

Just channeling his inner Les Grosman while absolutely undressing some unsuspecting crew member.

Now to be fair, Cruise is a certified lunatic and is a lieutenant in the very fake and very nefarious “religion” that is Scientology. It’s crazy how powerful that group has become without imploding from one of the thousands of scandals they’ve been involved in. I mean just take a look at the Nxivm self help sex cult that got pretty far on slick talking self help gurus, celebrity members, and straight up blackmail before falling apart. The Nxivm leader Keith Raniere just got popped and sentenced to 120 years in prison. So it’s crazy how Scientology has become this big (they legit have a church in the not exactly affordable Back Bay neighborhood) especially considering just how ridiculous the entire religion is, and thats coming from a Catholic. I’ve watched a couple of documentaries and read plenty of articles of all the weird and treacherous stuff this group has gotten up to over the years, but I don’t think anyone has skewered while actually explaining what Scientology actually is better than South Park.

Just had to include that in the interest of objectivity because I am a former Big J Journalist.

Top Gun, Jay and Silent Bob, IT: WE GOT TRAILERS GALORE TODAY!

By on • ( Leave a comment )

We have received oodles and oodles of sweet new trailers today and this week as a whole. Fun fact, one time Papa Giorgio walked into my room in college and looked at me laying in bed with my laptop and said “…you’ve been watching movie trailers all night again haven’t you?” What can I say, I am a sucker for a great trailer. Its how shitbombs like Terminator Salvation and Medellin trick Joe Sixpacks like me into seeing their mediocre flicks. Heres hoping these movies don’t suck!

Top Gun: Maverick

I don’t know what to expect out of this movie. Its usually not a great idea to make a sequel to a movie THIRTY THREE YEARS after the original, but I’ll give it a go. Plus, there was a suspicious absence of Jon Hamm shown in this teaser so color me curious. Probably should’ve just went to space tbh.

Jay and Silent Bob Reboot

LETS. GO. This isn’t what I truly wanted, which is Clerks 3, but its the next best thing so I’ll take it. Jay and Silent Bob were staples for anyone in their late 20s to early 30s. Just good old fashioned raunchy comedy and gratuitous bullying of celebrities in cameo roles. This reboot looks to be completely aware of how ridiculous the fact that it even exists is, which is a great start for a satire like this. I’m excited for this one.

IT 2

Soo I still haven’t watched the first IT if we’re being honest. It’s been recorded on my DVR for several months now. Why haven’t I watched it? Is it because I’m a giant puss and don’t want to fear for my life every time I go in the basement to do laundry? Who’s to say…

Supersize Me 2: Holy Chicken

Supersize Me is still one of my favorite documentaries because of how preposterous of an idea it was. The guy destroys his body and decimates all his vital signals in a MONTH just through McChickens and Big Macs. Not crack or booze. Cheeseburgers. That movie still just makes me hungry though and if you disagree you are a liar or a vegan.

The Red Sea Diving Resort

Captain America is back in his first post-Marvel role and he is teaming up with MY GUY Daario Naharis. Also shoutout to Netflix for completely flipping the film industry on its head. It used to be a death sentence for actors to go from the big screen to the small screen, but now A list actors do it without a second thought. That of course allows me to see movies without having to leave my couch and for a monthly fee thats *still* cheaper than a ticket to the movies.

A Score to Settle

Nicolas Cage long ago embraced the typecast role of unhinged characters. And he does it damn well.

Good Boys

So this has been out for a while, but they just dropped a new trailer so it technically makes the cut. Simply put, this movie looks hilarious. Basically Superbad with middle school kids, which makes sense since Seth Rogen is prominently involved in this one.

The 300s Power Rankings of America: Who’s Trending Up and Who’s Trending Down

By on • ( Leave a comment )

Another week, another chance to check in and see who’s doing great and who’s doing shit.

Trending Up:

Tom Cruise

Mission Impossible 6 is getting glowing reviews across the board and if you bet me 10 years ago that we’d be getting a sixth installment starring this couch jumping lunatic, well I would have joined Scientology. This franchise has been getting better and better with each release and it just goes to show you that there are still quality action films out there to be made that don’t involve Tony Stark.

 

Star Wars Fandom

Episode 9 officially started filming Wednesday with J.J. Abrams back in the Director’s chair. Confirmed to return are Mark Hamill, Back-From-The-Dead Carrie Fisher, and everybody’s favorite space pimp, Billy Dee Williams as Lando Calrissian. I’m hoping for a satisfying conclusion to the sequel trilogy as the last chapter left a lot to be desired for me personally. More Adam Driver is always welcomed though.

 

Jose Reyes

Reyes made his pitching debut this week and it could have honestly gone a lot worse. Mets got completely blown out for the worst loss in franchise history and we’re at the point where I’m just here to see how low and hilarious this can get. Reyes gave up two homers and followed it up the next day by hitting two homers, which is the first time anyone’s done that since 1876. Hard to believe this team was in the World Series in 2015. Amazing Mets indeed.

 

Trending Down:

The NFL

Are we really so petty against Colin Kaepernick that we’re editing his name out of songs for a video game? If this was a problem, why did you even use the song in the first place? Regardless of your actual stance on the matter, it’s hard for an organization to be more unaware of their own bullshit. Talk about not being able to get out of your own way.

 

Chipotle

At this point it is rarer to go into this chain and come out healthy than it is to get sick. 683 people have now claimed to have gotten sick eating at an Ohio location which is absolutely believable. Are we cooking chicken in Easy Bake Ovens or something? Guac remains extra, but diarrhea is free of charge.

 

The Wilpons

Two years ago, the New York Mets were in the World Series. They lost, but they were good enough to get there. Between countless injuries, mishandling of players, and constant penny pinching, it’s time Major League Baseball stepped in and did something about the worst ownership in professional sports. This team is a piggy bank to Wilpon family (a piggy bank that Bernie Madoff enjoyed dipping his hand into over a decade ago, but ownership would like you to think happened last week). Mets fans are tired of the nonsense, and these two frauds will not see another dime of my money til something is done.
