If Tom Cruise didn't hire J.J. for MI-III, woud we be getting a movie?

No, the joke did not elude me, because as a Christian I do believe in the power of the Holy Spirit.

As for Lord Xenu, or whatever that thing is...unless Cruise has converted Abrams into his little cult...nah, J.J. is no part of that.

I get the joke, but it applies to Cruise, not J.J.

:rolleyes:

Unless your original comment was meant to be ironic, I find it hard to believe that the Holy Spirit — or any other deity, for that matter — is responsible for getting this movie made. God is a busy man, and I hope He'd have more important things to work on than making sure there's a new Star Trek film in theaters.

Dude, I was joking. ;)

Now, you are getting Linda real upset.

Linda just threw up in the corner, behind the couch.

And now she's shaking uncontrollably.

Could be a seizure.

Could be the Holy Spirit.

Yes, Paramount was ready to do a new Trek movie. And JJ was kind of "hot" at the time. He obviously influenced the story choice as well. So, I think even without JJ we would of gotten another Trek film. But of course, it would be a very different movie than the one we will get in May 2009.

And that's exactly why I'm going to withhold my deity appreciation until after I see it; For all we know, this film could turn out as though it were forged in the flames of hell.

Or it could very well put Star Trek back on the map. ;)

Or is it Lord Xenu? :vulcan:

Nonsense. The Supreme Ruler Xenu abused his power by attempting to introduce personal income tax, credit records, fingerprinting for all citizens, identity cards and passports throughout the Galactic Republic. He's one of the most heinous men in galactic history.

Hey, you use 'could' too; That's awesome. It sure does make for a great qualifier don't it? :thumbsup:

This is just another rung on the ladder of great things Tom Cruise has done for us. What a brave, great man He is and for shame on those who deride Him - talk about biting the hand that feeds you.

You know why Tom Cruise is everyone's best friend? Because if you lock him and your wife in the trunk of a car and come back in an hour to open it, he's the one that will be happy to see you.

This only proves that we totally have Tom Cruise to thank for getting us a new Star Trek film.

All Hail Lord Xenu!!
 
Re: If Tom Cruise didn't hire J.J. for MI-III, woud we be getting a mo

It probably has more to do with him being the hottest horse in Paramount's stable right now. Besides, I find it hard to belive they would hire him on the merits of MI III; or as Steven Colbert calls it: Miiihhhhh.
