Tom Cruise, Scientologist, superstar, lousy writer
Were he in my writing class, Tom Cruise would earn a "check double-minus" (the current voguish way of grading without numbers) for this Time mag essay about Mission: Impossible III director J.J. Abrams.
I know Cruise is dyslexic, but really, it's no excuse for this level of incoherence: "From the very beginning, there was an insouciance that promised anything was possible. He's a creative juggernaut and someone who recognizes the joy of creating. We had great fun laying waste to the specious barriers and the each-person-does-his-own-job structure of filmmaking."
Insouciance. Juggernaut. Specious.
Bad ghostwriter or an errant Thetan?

I guess if you want to sound smarter, you use the longest word rather than the right one.
Careful with the Thetan comments - he's got lawyers!
Who is worse? Tom Cruise or the copy editor at Time who let this get printed?
Perhaps plagiarizing would have been a good idea in this instance.
Not only does Tom Cruise have lawyers, so do the Thetans.

Maybe the editor has a sense of humour :)
No one has said it yet???
Maybe it's that derned SCIENTOLOGY (aka a publicity stunt, much like made-up words)
Tommy is on my pesonal boycot list because of his Scientology promotion. Scientology is not just kooky, it is affirmatively evil. I will no longer be watching any of his films.
Nah... His lover wrote it... and by lover, I mean the guy that is not Katie.
I think Tom Cruise is an awesome actor and quite a wonderful humanitarian. He does a lot to help others and I heard about a program where he helps children with learning problems and also helped fund a prgram to help the firefighters in NY who had toxic reactions to the fires. Why anyone would make critisism to this just shows how far our society has gone downhill. I got the oppurtunity to see him in person and he was the most friendly and humble man that is that successful that I have had the chance to see in real life
