No Cruise Control
My friend believes that every major film actor will, on occasion, knowingly star in a terrible movie role, usually in a big crappy blockbuster. These sellout roles serve as boosters, heightening the critical acclaim and publicity that occurs when the actor returns to making quality films again.
The proof is there. Current examples include Ewan McGregor in The Island, Scarlett Johansson in The Island, Jamie Foxx in Stealth and Nicole Kidman in Bewitched. Brendan Fraser is the grand puba of this strategy, successfully bouncing from movies like Blast From The Past (silly) to Gods & Monsters (wonderful) to Bedazzled (really silly).
I think there may be some legitimacy to this trend, although I also think stars will take on cheesy blockbusters to gain a wider acceptance and to simply...KERCHING!
The one major star exception is Tom Cruise. Except for Days Of Thunder, the man hasn't made a horrible film. One may argue that Eyes Wide Shut would qualify, but being a Stanley Kubrick project, it wasn't SUPPOSED to be bad; therefore, it's ineligible.
(Similarly, Vin Diesel doesn't count as jumping the shark with The Pacifier, since he's pretty much always made bad movies.)
Cruise has accomplished what Willis, Schwarzenegger, Gibson and every other major $$$ action/drama/comedy star can't - make consistently decent blockbuster films.
Too bad he's such a feckin' prick. Like everyone else that breathes, I've highly enjoyed these last two weeks or so of suppressed TomKat news. When I stumbled upon Tom Cruise's "blog," however, I couldn't stop reading. Who would've thought he would have so much time to post? Check it out...it's satire at its best.
