A Cruise Backlash

Evidence, anecdotal and otherwise, would seem to indicate that few bloggers were as good as their word in calling for a Tom Cruise boycott. After all, how could they resist a summertime blockbuster helmed by Steven Spielberg? But even though 77.6 million bucks' worth of people saw the War of the Worlds, at BlogPulse our instruments tell us of a lingering disatisfaction with one Thomas Cruise Mapother IV. To wit: "Tom Cruise is nuts" is our no. 8 bursty phrase today. Not coincidentally, that also is the name of a website to which a lot of bloggers have been linking lately. So the sentiment out there is clear. Blogger darksidhe sums it up: "You know, he's not that bad of an actor, I do enjoy most of his movies, but him? Like, him as a person, turns me right off his movies." But not enough, apparantly, to skip them.
