Well perhaps QT doesn't know or appreciate that, but thats has little to do with criticism of a pretty hoaky movie that has not held up well. I was as enthused as anyone while watching it as a teenage midshipmen when it came out, but watching it today is dreadful.

Concur re Tom Cruise.

Well I don't think Cruise et al really know whats

Now to me, that is the stuff of real men and the stuff of legend.

As far as Tom Cruise, I guess he was the "preferred" candidate for that movie at the time, but I would like to see a remake WITHOUT that whiny bastard.
