Sting and Tom Cruise ... interesting read!

Cintra Wilson is the author of "A Massive Swelling:Celebrity Re-examined as a Grotesque, Crippling Disease and other Cultural Revelations." She just recently wrote this about this year Oscars - read what she has to say about Tom Cruise and check out what she then says about Sting ! "I must warn the world about Tom Cruise. I feel he is an utterly terrifying Superior Life Form, with the power to melt heads and braid spines. His eyes are as hard, shiny and brutally penetrating as diamond drill-bits. The new braces on his teeth suggest that he is erasing all that remained of his tiny imperfections, and he is now metamorphosing into Ultra Super Perfection Man 3000. I fear his intense, mind-beating politeness, his titanium imperviousness to human weakness, his barking power-laugh. "Movies make a little bit of magic touch our lives," he commanded us to acknowledge, with steely resolve and Mach-5 mega-humorlessness. People in the audience started laughing, until they realized that Tom was Not Being Funny At All. He was chosen to frankly address the post-Sept. 11 whither-the-Oscars conundrum head-on. "Should we celebrate the magic the movies bring? Now?" Tom asked, his eyes boring into the eyes of the TV multitudes and implanting rays of total domination. "Dare I say it?" He flashed a smirk with his robotically flawless teeth. "More than EVER," he hissed, laying on his most Extreme Scientological Unction. He had been commanded by the Elders to Obi-Wan-Kenobi-ize the audience into rebelieving in the importance of the obscenely superfluous Oscars. Tom Cruise is becoming the Scary Flaming Eye from "The Lord of the Rings," and I fear that nobody can stop him. then goes on to say about the Song nominees ... "I was glad Randy Newman finally got the award for best song; with his 16 nominations and zero wins, he was the Susan Lucci of the Oscars. But he had to win: Enya is the music I imagine when I am standing in a meadow in a white dress, closing my eyes and rapturously rubbing soft, quilted, two-ply toilet tissue against my cheeks. Sting, that perfectly unblemished and sincerely perfectly superior and theologically self-actualized übermensch, is essentially becoming the musical Tom Cruise. And Diane Warren is the SWORN ENEMY OF ALL MUSIC" Who is this woman ??? And what drugs does she take .. ? Jason from Ireland.

Time to check in to Betty Ford Ross!! -----Original Message----- From: discoduck [mailto:discoduck@shaw.ca] Sent: 28 March 2002 09:12 To: Sting Subject: [Police] after half a bottle of wine I thought I'd write what this group means to me. I feel like one of those veterans, of an older generation (of this mailing list, that is). Many new names on this list, which to me is totally cool. I love that fact Police/Sting music knows little generational boundaries. But it's the 'older' crowd that I have most my private discussion with. I love looking at my "Police" folder, to see if it bolds from any new e-mail arriving. I love the fact that all of us have the music we love, as the one common bond, however not the only thing we talk about here. There are some cyber buddies here that I'm richer for knowing: I'm reluctant to be specific in case I have neglect to mention someone I should have - but you all know who you are. Some of you even make me feel loved. (man, am I really writing this?). Time for another glass of wine. Your friend in Police/Stingness, always, Ross _______________________________________________ Police mailing list Police(a)mailman.xmission.com http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/police

once again i have to waste my time in replying to the exaggerated comments you write. what you fail to tell everyone is that you have to make your point by sending me 2 emails with the same text, stating that im 'high and mighty' when you clearly seem to be looking in the mirror, especially by the way you talk to people, so dont make silly little comments. Best Wishes Craig
