Just Why Is Joe Roth In Need Of A Fluffing?
Patrick Goldstein’s Tuesday LA Times column explaining that Joe Roth doesn’t really need all this hard core show biz stuff…
Why?
Why now?
Is this the first sign that negotiations in the Sony deal have taken a turn for the worse and Joe is ready to sell the failure of Revolution Studios as a good thing?
Ot perhaps he is setting himself up to be the next pope…
The only reason that this isn’t the first topic of most conversations in town is that everyone is too busy trying to figure out who forgot to feed Tom Cruise his pill before he went on Oprah.
if u made movies like tomcats, u would be quitting the biz too
Tom’s Oprah session might be a a career defining moment for him.
David,
Could you please get rid of that online poker nonsense?
Thanks.
Am I the only freakin’ person in the world who didn’t see Cruise on Oprah? What’s the big deal? Is there an online transcript?
You don’t want the online transcript. It does not do it any kind of justice.
Please Dave, “pill” is such an ugly word. It’s just that the Helper assigned to Tom forgot to give him his Flintstones “vitamin”.
Maybe Joe Roth is giving up because Julia ROberts is on 5y break and other stars are ageing.
Speaking of Ageing, perhaps Tom feels his age realizing that the action stud roles are limited and he wants to compete with Jim Carrey for comedy-drama histrionics. He was more Jim Carrey than Tom on Oprah (pity, since Tom would be a halfway decent Iron Man).
Josh,if you didn;t see it, words wouldn’t describe what I saw. Chappelle simply must do a skit on Tom. Maybe lots ‘o skits on Tom.
Real life Cruise is good enough for a skit. Not much more even the great Dave C can do.
Cruise’s old publicist that he fired for his sister must be lauging really hard right now…
Joe Roth is a joke. His movies are pitiful. As a director they all stink. As a producer every two hundred and fortieth are decent. Not one classic. I can do better than that by spinning my mom blindfolded and making her pick post- its off a craphouse wall. He chooses a monkey like Todd Garner to take the fall for his choices and now he’s dreaming about firing Tom sherak. What a joke Roth is. He such a wad. Wants to be important now. You’re real important Joe. Keep banging pa’s. That’s what you do best.
Mr Fitz. I disagree. I think Chappelle could get as much mileage out of Tom as he does out of Puffy or Rick James (RIP bitch!). Maybe this is the reason Dave C came back from SA. He could call his skit “Do this mess in private”.
*cough*
*reads l.a. times story*
Chris Columbus is making Rent for Revolution????
Can’t musicals be dead yet? Is it going to be better than the “Rent” inspired musical in “Team America: World Police”… everyone has AIDS, yeah! No, and I’d say it’s highly improbable the movie version of “Rent” is going to make more than 10 dollars at the box office (and then I’ll wait for the DVD release 2 months later, and ignore that too).
As far as Tom Cruise, yeah, the more he speaks the less I think of Scientology. I’d tell him to see a psychiatrist because I think he’s overcompensating for something (I’m not gay!), but I guess his options, like his acting talent, is limited. And now that Tom’s weirdness has dulled the hotness of Katie Holmes, is it too late to CGI in someone else in Batman Begins? Mmmm. How about 24′s Mia Kirshner or Elisha Cuthbert?
…huh?
Kind of looking forward to Rent, actually. Maybe it’s cause I like musicals..?
Anyway, Tom Cruise went bonkers years ago when he gave Nicole the heave-ho for, excuse me a second while i dry-heave, Penelope Cruz.
kidman got everything she wanted from dating cruise. now shes an a list star. maybe holmes is trying to ride that.
That didn’t rub off on Penelope Cruz. It had the opposite effect. Maybe Katie will be starring in knock off action movies soon too.
If I was a tv actress with film star dreams, I’d date Tom Cruise. If I was a crappy creative exec I’d date him. If I worked at Carl Jr’s I would too so maybe I’m not the best judge.
I cannot remember the last time I saw a major star promote his love life like this. This is unprecedented.
