People who get slandered that you will not stand for.


I will defend these people from the constant slander they receive.

Guy Ritchie. I've heard constant criticisms that he's a Tarantino ripoff. First, Tarantino is a notorious ripoff artist so I don't see how he can be ripping him off. Second, he's got his own style. He makes fun action movies and you actually have to pay attention to the story.

Tom Cruise. No one really hated him before he jumped on Oprah's couch. Is he weird? Sure. But I don't see how that's enough to hate someone. The man entertains and is willing to do his own stunts. No one on movie sets have never complained about his behaviour either. Big fan right here.

Gwyneth Paltrow. I just don't get the hate. She's never said anything controversial. She's not some crazed political nut who thinks she's right. She's a decent actress. People don't really give any good reason to hate her other than "it's just the way she is".

Jack Black. I think he's funny. A lot of people think he's annoying and plays up his fatness.

No one should get slandered. Slander is the making and distribution of false statements to harm someone’s reputation. However celebrities chose a career where they willingly sacrificed a big portion of their privacy in exchange for fame and success. If they do or say stupid things after that then it is all on them.

Some people just like to hate though.

Tom Cruise tried to send away his daughter on the Scientology ship to be brainwashed. There's tons of legations of abuse on the so called "ship of horrors." He's a horrible human being. Thank god she doesn't see him anymore.

reply

Scientology brainwashes people, so I can see how he could do that do his daughter.

reply

Shame, too, because I do indeed like a lot of his movies.

reply

Cruise is a batshit crazy cultist and Paltrow is a dangerous snake oil saleswoman. I have no issue with Ritchie or Black.

reply

Pretty much agree with this statement.

I read an interview with one of Tom Cruise's co stars from Risky Business, and in it they allege that Cruise would make strange homophobic remarks on set. Whether this is true or not, I can't say.

reply

Oh honey, you can't stop slander!

You can only slander the people who criticize the people you inexplicably want to defend, and that won't make any difference. You can't talk people into liking the people you inexplicably like or or make them sorry for disliking them on the internet, all you can accomplish it to convince people that you're a jerk or a troll.

reply

True but some people hate just to hate. It's like users on this site or others where their post history is nothing but negativity.

reply

Everyone needs a hobby.

And arguing with the haters doesn't change them or shut them up, it just gives them an opening to start ranting.

reply

I dont like when people talk shit about Robert De Niro, saying he hasn't made a decent picture since Heat. It's simply not true.

reply

Or when they say he acts the same in all his movies.

reply

Godsend was bad.

reply

I go out and bat for Tom too. As weird as he might seem, his drive and dedication to his craft is pretty amazing.

reply

Tom can do it all. Action, drama, comedy. There aren't any Tom's left. I can't think of anyone upcoming who is even remotely similar to him.

reply

Will Smith can do action, drama and comedy and much like Cruise he has an odd personal life

reply

But he can't do it as well as my boy Tom. Although I do like Will. He seems like a cool dude.
