Here’s another one of these faux-candid “viral” videos of Cameron Diaz and Tom Cruise on the set of Knight and Day. It’s newsworthy only in the sense that 20th Century Fox has been sending these out, and I only post it because it confounds me in every way. Seriously, what in the f*ck is this? It’s so poorly conceived and executed and so pointless on every level that it might as well be one of those Mary Worth comic strips where two ladies stand in the backyard talking about stamps. The only thing I can figure is that they’re just making these to piss me off.
Let me see if I can identify what they were going for in this: you have an imaginary crew member, who for some reason was filming a fellow crew member while he puts a camera lens into a box. We’re to believe that this guy, who presumably works in the camera department of a big Hollywood film, can’t shoot video without turning his camera 90 degrees clockwise for no apparent reason. This person then captures, COMPLETELY BY ACCIDENT, Tom Cruise and Cameron Diaz playing soccer. And here’s the kicker (Get it? kicker? soccer? I hate my life), THEY’RE REALLY GOOD. Oh my gosh, people will say, I wasn’t planning on seeing this retarded hunk of sh*t movie BEFORE, but now that I know that CAMERON DIAZ AND TOM CRUISE ARE SURPRISINGLY GOOD AT SOCCER, I am powerless to resist such fascinating and candid Hollywood star power! THANK YOU, MY MOM’S FRIEND WHO SENDS OUT EMAIL CHAIN LETTERS, WHAT WOULD I EVER DO WITHOUT YOU????
BUT WHAT OF THE DANCING CGI BABIES?! I DEMAND THEM AT ONCE!! I REFUSE TO SEE THIS MOVIE FILM UNLESS IT INVOLVES ELF BOWLING AND BIG MOUTH BILLY BASS!! HOW WILL I KNOW YOUR MOVIE IS WORTHWHILE IF IT DOES NOT CAPITALIZE ON RECENT TRENDS??!! CALL THE WICHITA BRANCH! SET UP A BRAINSTORMING POWER POINT AT ONCE!




I’ve had mortgage closings that were more spontaneous than that horror show.
I asked Snopes.com about this and it told me to kill myself.
as the south africans say BBBZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ BBZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ BBZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ
Facebook would never e-mail this to me. Because she loves me.
Oh, look, more photos of the family cats in my inbox!
This makes the MILF Hunter looks like a documentary on Rwandan genocide
Are they actually hand-faking shitty autofocus there?
Their understanding of ball physics and focus is amazing.
Haha…ball physics
Am I supposed to be surprised that Tom Cruise is good at juggling balls?
I can only assume that this footage was discovered after the cameraman swallowed his own tongue.
How many takes do you think this took?
This is the most flagrant case of false advertising since The Never Ending Story.
Why don’t you knock it off with them negative waves? Why don’t you dig how beautiful it is out here? Why don’t you say something righteous and hopeful for a change?
/resumes drinking wine and eating cheese, and catching some rays.
The Mighty Feklahr still cringes after seeing Johnny Depp and Helena Bonham Carter playing quidditch on the set of Sweeney Todd. They both REALLY liked that toy broomstick, let Him tell ya!
good god, they took it so far out of reality that they even used a cgi ball.

As much as I hate to say it, I do give Tom Cruise some credit for at least TRYING to seem like less of a dick sniffer. I would feel a little better if Katie Holmes was let out for fresh air a LITTLE more often, though. Either way, Cruise could pass for almost human if he would just get lit and make a Youtube video of himself making smoke designs from bong rips. Just sayin’.

Guy’cha! You ever notice that Tom Cruise’s ears are kinda pointy…and Xenu is a ROMULAN NAME??? The enemy has a face, and it is on a 5’6″ closet homosexual!!!
*vuvuzela trumpet in my ass* WHOOP!WHOOP!WHOOP!
Hee hee. You said Wichita and Brain in the same sentence. Silly thumb.
Tom Cruise is unsuprisingly good at Sucker.
That would have only been more believable if they started fucking.
Oh cool, it’s one of those CGI soccer balls you can buy at Sports Authority.
Looking at the two of them, maybe they should just go ahead and rename the thing Foote and Balls.
Ignoring the fact that these behind-the-scenes videos are awful, how does this sell the movie? The message I get is: Hey, the shit we’re trying to sell is so repugnant, so obviously awful, that we actually are opting to show you this other shit instead. Think this is stupid? Trust us, the alternative -actual scenes from the movie -is worse. To be perfectly honest, we’re already prepping the reboot.
It’s a classic case of misdirection. Tom Cruise is trying to distract you by making you think he’s not bat shit insane and loves Katie Holmes and plays soccer just like you and me. And then BAM, he’s inside of you.
They had to use a soccer ball instead of a football because Tom Cruise refuses to play Smear the Queer.
That’s not true Donkey. He’ll play as long as no gays are there.
this post comes on the same day that soccer announces that it is gay. Coincidence? I think not.

Pele, meet Gay-le. Were we supposed to see this and say to ourselves, “Damn that Tom Cruise is manly”?
Perhaps this is out of left field (or should I say “left pitch”?) but if anything, I’m asking myself where was Valkyrie when the Socceroos needed him? Oz looked like Poland out there. Now we know why. Dorothy was busy; engaged in a sissy match with his (strictly platonic) friend, Cameron Diaz… Crikey! The German attack was so devastating, they left a trail of dead Russians clutching broken vuvuzelas in their wake… and the Russians didn’t even make the tourney! If only Tom Thumb had been there to provide his signature pelvic-thrust, double-pump, flying roundhouse leg kick, he could’ve caught Hans und Franz off guard like a one-man indiscriminate area-bombing raid, and halted the Kickzkrieg in its tracks… Fucking Scientologists…
