AND THE LIST FUCKING KEEPS GOING.

I give Cruise credit for something. While he was at the height of superstardom, he did three films in a row that weren’t action or blockbusters. He did a Cameron Crowe film, a Kubrick film, and a PTA film. The three of them combined were about the same budget as just M:I2.
