Well, there are plenty of studies showing that a lot of psychiatric drugs do more harm than good. In fact, the FDA is making Ritalin producers put another warning label on the product now.
Frankly, playing with brain chemistry is a very dangerous thing and we take it far too lightly. The flip side of the whole thing is you breed an attitude in modern culture that you will find all the answers to your problems in a pill (and don't think for a second that there aren't people out there that will prescribe you with whatever will make you feel better and fatten their own wallets in the process)...
Is Tom Cruise crazy? Sure, he's a Scientologist. But even a Scientologist can get one right every once in a while.

Wrong about what? What spielberg movies he enjoyed?
Yes.
Or, if you would like, I call his taste into question. Whichever makes you feel better. Not that I care how you feel.
Some people are like slinkies, they aren't really good for anything, but they still bring a smile to your face when you push them down the stairs.
I agree with him that psychiatry isn't a real science, but him dissing it for being fake is like varus dissing black people for being racist
Do what now?

And here I thought this was a topic where'd you all be /swooning over Tom Cruise.

Now, how well we currently do at manipulating and controlling those reactions is up for debate but I'd still consider it a science.

Wow. Regular ol' Joph fan club in here.
it's a science in so much that it's very much in it's infancy..
there's SOOOOO little known about the brain and how it does what it does.. but it's slowly coming together.. I suspect a lot of the currently held theories of psychiatry will likely be debunked in the future, but the same can be said of most sciences..... you know that whole "the world is flat" thing..
I'm considering doing a bit of research on exactly what scientology is though what little I've seen so far is pretty unconvincing.. I've heard it started as a bet or something like that.. dunno if that's true or not but so far the people who believe it are farther out in left field than I generally care to be.

Raiders of the Lost Ark, Schindler's List, Saving Private Ryan, Close Encounters of the 3rd Kind, to name a few.
Ahh, yes. Raiders of the Lost Ark was great. The others? I'm not a fan of war movies, so Saving Private Ryan is out. Schindler's List I've yet to see...generally avoid movies that are that depressing. Close Encounters...I just never connected with it. And as for E.T., although I enjoyed it as a child, I don't feel it has aged well.

To answer your question, no, Tom Cruise is not real.
He is a product of Hollywood that was created to fill a gap. He is a regular guy with an elaborate facial mask(how the hell did they make that nose?).
So, if anybody has been wondering where Peewee Herman went..

I heard Peewee Herman was at a biker convention, with his suit even, a few months back. Dancing on pooltables and whatnot even, making for a rather regretful mood seeing as I didn't stick around at the time to see him. Do people really find jacking off in public to be all that bad?
Well the movie was good.
Cruises character sucked, but it was a good movie. It folloed the radio show nicely too.

I'm probably going to crawl out from under the parent's rock to go see War of the Worlds mostly because I used to have one of those illustrated kiddie books of WotW and it was one of my favorites. I'd love to see how modern movie technology translates it onto the big screen.

From viewing the preview, the similarity between the book and the movie is that it has aliens in it.

na, I read the Radio Broadcast after I saw it.
The Tim Robins character is in it,
The huge walking laser shooting things are in it and described like they look in the movie.
The public reations and the general chaos was similar as described as well.

One of the many wonders of Psychiatry. While there is somevalidity to the field, there is plenty of ******** to go along with it.
Frances Farmer was hot.
The problem as I see it, Boony, is that these Hollywood types hear their own publicity agents and the media vehicles like E!, Access Hollywood, Entertainment Tonight, and the like worshipping them as if they had anything of value worth hearing and begin to believe their own hype.
That's actually one of the truely enjoyable things about this world-- that we have built this culture of fame where the celebrity d'jour is fawned over and idolized until they begin to believe the media machine. At this point they start to pontificate and open their mouths, only to demonstrate how little they really know.
Then we devour them.
:)
I love it.

Damn, who was it that said "when you get famous, you don't change, but all the people around you do"? I know Dave Chapelle said it, but he was quoting someone.
Do what now?
Tom Cruise is not in the top 10 highest paid actors because he's a nice guy, he's there because the best directors in the business know he sells films.
He sells films because there are alot of people who rate him as an actor, shear weight of numbers folks, it's a democracy we live in and more fans = more fame.
The last samurai part refers to the Japanesse lead NOT the token American.

A white man bold enough to take on the title of "Last Samurai" a staple of Japenese lore.
