I was unable to play the video, as the site said it "was not available at this time." Perhaps that is a good thing.

Damn media.
Just got a call from Tokyo NHK. Tom Cruise has a lot to answer for. They are asking to interview me to do a Gaijin Samurai thing!
They got my name and number of a Nippon Budokan Meibo. Is nothing sacred?
Anyone had dealings with Saito producer?

Here's a transcript:
KC: "We're here live with Tom Cruise, star of the new action film The Last Samurai."
TC: (bows)
KC: "So, how was filming your new movie Tom?"
TC: "Great. I learned a lot of things about Bushido. It has replaced Scientology in my life. Wanna see me handle my sword?"
KC: (blushes) "Why yes (looks off camera), why not?"
TC: "Now see, in the movie, they fight modernisation, which they think is going to ruin traditional culture and values. (picks up sword from off camera) Sort of like how television ruins things."
KC: (unnerved) "So how does that sword work, uhm, Tom?"
TC: "Well, you put it over your head, shout the reason why you are attacking someone, say for example "Your decreasing ratings are a dishonor to your diamyo, Les Moonves", and then swing at them so" (clumsily wheels sword over head and into KC, beheading her)
KC: (drops bleeding to floor, headless)
TC: "OH! I have dishonored the Screen Actors Guild, I must disembowel myself immediately.....Watch my movie! GGgggggrrrrccchhhh"

El Guapo-san, you big tease... I actually read this sentence and believed it for a second. But having Cruise behead Katie Couric and commit seppuku was just too good to be true... Damn you!Originally posted by El Guapo-san

Ah, yes, another know-nothing movie star pontificating about the grace, elegance, integrity and honor of Ye Olde Nippon that he learned all about making a d**m movie.
BARF!!

To put it bluntly, actors like him make me sick. I can't stand hearing an actor talking about how they can do such and such a martial art just because they were in a movie and had to train for it for a short while. I think it really ruins the reputation of martial arts and makes them seem like a cheap party trick that can't be taken seriously.

Real Samurai 02
Look for 'jasonvorhees666666' and his posts.

Tom Cruise as quoted on Japan Today:
"I am a Scientologist and I can strongly identify with the values of honor, loyalty and compassion. Those are wonderful things to aspire to in life."
Tom Cruise, extoling bushido — the samurai code — at a press conference in Tokyo Thursday to promote "The Last Samurai".
Well, there you have it. The union of the "All your money belong to us" crowd and the "so Billy, do like to watch gladiator movies?" crowd.
Barf, vomit, bllleeeeeeccchhhhh.

Please tell that we on ebudo aren't that nerdy or sad individuals...
I say we call to arms against their forum! There's one thing talking and studying about japanese martial culture, but practicing it is another.
