And Dreams

[ateolf]

I got the first of my little birthday gift card orders in the mail yesterday: Sun Ra: Space Probe. Not a whole lot else to report from the day. At night, Mary Beth and I watched Cocktail in an attempt to numb our brains. I mean, I probably don't need to assess it, right?

"While reviewing Days of Thunder, film critic Roger Ebert noted the similarities between several of Cruise's 1980s films and nicknamed the formula the Tom Cruise Picture.[130] Ebert listed nine key ingredients that make up the Tom Cruise Picture; the Cruise character, the mentor, the superior woman, the craft he must hone, the arena it takes place in, the arcana or knowledge he must learn, the trail or journey, the proto enemy, and the eventual enemy of the character. Some of Cruise's later films like A Few Good Men and The Last Samurai can also be considered to be part of this formula."
