There is a new video with Tom Cruise discussing Scientology in what is being called an “indoctrination video”. First, need I point out that Nazis produced far superior indoctrination videos? Secondly, this video (with the odd Mission Impossible music loop) is not an indoctrination video. It’s a case-in-point analysis of why Tom Cruise is a horrible, overrated actor who can’t act his way out of a bag without a script. Or his attempt to be deliver dialogue in an over-emotive William Effing Shatner fashion — the originator of which, by the way, has more acting acumen than this clown.

<cruise>It’s… it’s like… I have the power to help. You, you know, help people. I’d like to go on the Internet, have fun and play… but… I can’t do that… maybe if I… (laughing hysterically) change the world… then we can all go on the Internet to have fun and play. We are the experts. (begins counting with fingers) We can cure illness. We can decriminalize the criminals. We can rebuild people. We have the technology… We are Scientologists. We are the Incomprehensible Missive Force. (cue Mission Impossible music)</cruise>

Although the video has been yanked from YouTube, Google, and various other sites repeatedly, it is located here.

Watch for yourself, then try to figure out what the fuck you just watched… If it wasn’t an example of a very, very bad ad libbing session, I don’t know what is.
