First, MR I did not find it not that bad at all and shortly I wrote here that I want to make another go at it.
That been said, what I do not like in TC? Easy, he is always staring but in a way as you may think that he is in his inner self, and where he can find nothing, but emptiness,
Difficult for me to tell in your language, but you may have a glimpse of what I meant...

Sounds suspiciously like you're starting from the premise that he is an air head ... - Lord Dot 10:23:46 07/01/05 (7)
..(which he may be) and then interpreting his "staring" accordingly.
I have to agree with you in that I don't like it when actors have stock or trade mark expressions. But very few don't have them. Very very few.

  In fact in the early time of his film career ( Rain Man ) I did like him and founf him promising, then came this stupid teen age film ( Top Gun ) and he was on his way to nothing.
  Who make the egg first?
  And now his role in this religion taking Orwellian dimension, as long he was private about it but now preaching and forbidding any reviews before the release.....
  Strong tobacco.
  - I didn't like him or Hoffman in Rain Man and I didn't like him in Top Gun. - Lord Dot 11:10:39 07/01/05 (3)
    Both movies did nothing for me.
    On the other hand, I don't care what an actor does outside of acting. What TC says about religion is completely irrelevant to me. Just because someone is a famous actor, does not mean he has anything to say of interest on any other topic.

      Rain Man had a kind of synergy between the two actors if I remember, well it was a long time ago!
      I though that he my give an actor.
      Well Kubrick choose him also... maybe more like a cusiosity under the microscope of his camera?
      For me it is relevant because I do not like at all the way of manipulating the press and also we, the people.
      No, I do not.
      - Kubrick chose him because he DOES come off as shallow, just as was done in WoTW, that IS his interesting character flaw. - Lord Dot 15:42:40 07/01/05 (1)

        ...and it works when that flaw is explored. In Eyes Wide Shut, it was his view of sexuality that was shallow. In WoTW, it was his irresponsibility.
        They tried to do the same thing with Rain Man, but the subject matter just didn't interest me.

        Your guess.
        I think Kubrick was a dark angel for both actors marriage, not that he did do something what would have end their union, no just hasten the end of it.
        But who knows...
- How many times do we need to see Harrison Ford's smirk, or Dustin Hoffman's "empty stare"? - Lord Dot 10:29:51 07/01/05 (1)
  Yet both have squeezed out some good movies.

    Same fo Dustin Hoffman! He goes on my nerves for a long time!
    HF was too much present in too many bad films.
    Still I like this guy.
    Why?
    Tell me...
