Rubbish. Look to your own attitude before you start criticizing members. I'll say what I want about movies, and I have sufficient experience to do so. We may criticize films, but not each other.

No, neither Born On the Fourth of July nor Magnolia prove anything. I can name two dozen bankable actors who could have done an infinitely better job in either role. More than any other film, Eyes Wide Shut demonstrates and proves Tom Cruise's inadequacy. He is a narcissistic presence, and his...
