In spite of lukewarm reviews and general negative buzz, Tom Cruise's Valkyrie has actually done halfway decent at the box-office, and lately it seems Tom has been successfully rehabbing his battered image (mostly by acting chastened). It's too bad Tom can't just be happy with the slight uptick in his prospects. No, every time things start going right for this dumb bastard, he has to go and open his mouth again like he did yesterday in Korea where he dropped this little nugget about his life-long fascination with Hitler:I’ve always wanted to kill Hitler. As a child, I used to wonder why someone didn’t stand up and kill him.As a child studying history and looking at documents, I wondered, why didn’t someone stand up and try to stop it? When I read the script, it was entertaining and informative to know what the challenges were and what it was like to be in the environment.
Alas, Hitler is already dead, so Tom has to settle for killing his own career. Maybe he could just sew his lips shut?
