>tom cruise wrote this part and created les himself when he was cast because the film didn't have a real antagonist
he's so based
hollywood's last movie star
We never got the Les Grossman spinoff movie. Still broken up over it.
Nah, it was fantastic as a surprise bit part where you don't recognize Tom Cruise. It would suck as a full movie and be very quickly played out and tired.
>the character needs huge hands >im sorry what do you mean tom? >huge hands, he needs huge hands >w-why would he have big hands tom? >big? i said HUGE >why w… >shush. his hands are huge. make it happen
Cruise and McQuarrie were planning a TV series about Grossman. Not sure if it is still on the back burner, but it could be something Cruise could do now he is older.
Watched this with my friends in the cinema, they loved it, and at the end credits they were all "Woah that was Tom Cruise?"
It seems so obvious it was Cruise all along though

I was just thinking how wild it is that he put himself in blatant israeliteface for his sleazy producer role. Based as frick.
scientologists have a little secret guerilla war against israelites for control of Hollywood thats been going on for a while now, although its died down significantly the last several years due to all the bad PR scientology has receievd
If you want to work in hollywood above a certain level you pretty much have to pick one of the cults, Scientology is popular because despite all of their weird shit they don't make you and your kids frick Weinstein and Dan Schneider, which suddenly makes the whole Thetan thing sound pretty tolerable in comparison.
One of the things I think is cool about Les is that he may seem like a clown, but he’s also hands-down the evilest person in the whole movie. Not even literal drug-running warlords come close.
i wish tom cruise did more roles like this. he's such a good character actor that it gets overlooked when he plays generic action protagonist for the hundredth time
This but unironically. I also liked him in Rain Man.
It's funny that an action hero that does stunts is actually better as a regular guy.
>Darko
I meant Magnolia,
For me, it's a few good men. Courtroom kino just scratches a certain itch and you really get to see an actor's bare chops for what it is without the aid of props or set pieces. It's a shame there isn't more of it

Who's gonna do it? You? You, Lieutenant Weinberg? I have a greater responsibility than you can possibly fathom. You weep for Santiago, and you curse the Marines. You have that luxury. You have the luxury of not knowing what I know -- that Santiago's death, while tragic, probably saved lives; and my existence, while grotesque and incomprehensible to you, saves lives. You don't want the truth because deep down in places you don't talk about at parties, you want me on that wall -- you need me on that wall. We use words like "honor," "code," "loyalty." We use these words as the backbone of a life spent defending something. You use them as a punch line.
I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to a man who rises and sleeps under the blanket of the very freedom that I provide and then questions the manner in which I provide it. I would rather that you just said "thank you" and went on your way. Otherwise, I suggest you pick up a weapon and stand the post.

Anon I have that speech burned into my head and have rewatched that movie so many times. It just makes you appreciate the build up throughout the movie to the final scene even more. Go and watch it tonight
>DIS IS FWEI MING DUWANG UN
Oh ok flaming dragon. Frickface
Absolute kino performance
We never got the Les Grossman spinoff movie. Still broken up over it.

You were great in Argylle, btw.
hehehe
Please sign my bussy mr Cavill I'm your biggest fan and I'm gay just like you!!!!
Nah, it could've worked, bro. It could have been kino.

Correct. Always leave the audience wanting more, not praying for less.
I recognize that the creator of this webm is talented but interpolation and higher frame rates look so weird to me.
Watched this with my friends in the cinema, they loved it, and at the end credits they were all "Woah that was Tom Cruise?"
It seems so obvious it was Cruise all along though
I imagine they were scared shitless of getting sued by Scott Rubin.
He's a perfect side character leave him be.
Damn straight.
Agreed, this character and his creepy guy from Donnie Darko were his best.
All of his other characters are literally the same guy in a different outfit/setting.
what are you talking about
>Darko
I meant Magnolia,
>tom cruise wrote this part and created les himself when he was cast because the film didn't have a real antagonist

Framing dragon.
How did they get him to do this? He rarely does comedy especially if he's made to look like a jerk.
Apparently the whole thing was his idea.
cruise had some antisemitic thoughts he needed to act on
I was just thinking how wild it is that he put himself in blatant israeliteface for his sleazy producer role. Based as frick.
I think it was based on one or two high profile studio bigwig producers at the time, with a mixture of other producers. Tom probably needed to vent.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stuart_Cornfeld
Probably some Tom Rothman and Harvey Weinstein influences as well. But Cornfeld was the main one.
why does he look like he wants to direct me to the interracial breeding grounds?
>You're gonna have to call the fricking United Nations and get a fricking binding resolution to keep me from fricking destroying you. I'm talking scorched earth, motherfricker! I will massacre you!
>I WILL FRICK YOU UP!
>hangs up
>"Find out who that was"
Thought it was supposed to be Scott Rudin.
scientologists have a little secret guerilla war against israelites for control of Hollywood thats been going on for a while now, although its died down significantly the last several years due to all the bad PR scientology has receievd
When the frick have they not had bad PR? Half a century ago?
>How did they get him to do this?
He came up with it himself.
I wish he did more comedy instead of stuntslop for his cultists.
Apparently he’s pretty funny irl but he plays his humor straight up so people don’t always know he’s joking.
Kind of like Les was doing at the end of the movie. That’s fricking great.
>So Tom, there's this character who's a psychopathic israeli studio executive...
>I'm in
>But we're not casting that part yet
>I'm in
>tfw scientology and Mormonism is the only defense against the israelite and its attack dogs
how about just not join a cult
If you want to work in hollywood above a certain level you pretty much have to pick one of the cults, Scientology is popular because despite all of their weird shit they don't make you and your kids frick Weinstein and Dan Schneider, which suddenly makes the whole Thetan thing sound pretty tolerable in comparison.
It's weird how Scientology is a schizo wypipo cult in the middle of Hollyjew.
There are a lot of israelites in Scientology. They even have branches in Israel.
>Welcome to the Goody Room
Big dick playa.
>Hangin past ya kneeeeeez
I've researched that Panerai before. They didn't give it to him at wardrobe he showed up with it himself.
how much does it cost
I'm surprised a manlet like Cruise can wear a Panerai
>Sorry … I was trying to call my mom …
One of the things I think is cool about Les is that he may seem like a clown, but he’s also hands-down the evilest person in the whole movie. Not even literal drug-running warlords come close.
Easily my fav character
Who here is a key grip?

incredible scene after all the build up, makes me want to rewatch this kino
>read the best scene and hear it accurately in my head
I guess I can't watch it for a while. Exquisite taste but you also sort of fricked me over.
Anon I have that speech burned into my head and have rewatched that movie so many times. It just makes you appreciate the build up throughout the movie to the final scene even more. Go and watch it tonight
Fricking amazing scene.
A mix of Joel Silver + Harvey IIRC?
Tom Cruise's best role.
This but unironically. I also liked him in Rain Man.
It's funny that an action hero that does stunts is actually better as a regular guy.
Once Cruise retires from Action Kino due to his age, we will possibly see the greatest Cruise kino of all time. Let's hope for the best
>Cruise retires from Action Kino due to his age
It will never happen. He'll film his own death.
the resolution and file size are on point so you can't be moronic
