In which Tom Cruise and Harrison Ford extol the virtues of voting to the sort of people who need a personal appeal from Tom Cruise and Harrison Ford to get them to turn out. If this feels familiar, it’s because the first iteration — comprised of B-listers plus Leo DiCaprio — went viral, thus guaranteeing that the sequel will go viral too, which explains why the Q rating of this one is about 10 times higher than the last one’s was. The one newsworthy thing about it: Figuring out why Hanks decided to pass.
As noted by MKH, it’s roughly five times as long as it should be. Exit question: What’s Shia LaBoeuf doing in there? A favor from Harrison?

Do they still make movies? Haven’t been to the theater in quite a while….

Getting out the scientologist and the washed-up actor vote?

Tom Cruise? They’re using Tom Cruise to vouch for Obama? Who put this together, Karl Rove? People think “Tom Cruise” nowadays and think “Lunatic”.

Does that mean Xemu supports Obama? That’s kewl! Obama gets the coveted endorsement of little green-men.

They’d probably get more from a Pablo Cruise endorsement.

Maybe they can get John Travolta to buzz the battleground districts with his 747 pulling an Obama banner.
BacaDog on October 30, 2008 at 4:15 PM
I would LOVE to have the opportunity to sign a petition letter to the Hollywood tools who think their preferences mean anything to me. As a matter of fact, I’d like to sign a petition that would tell the self-absorbed freaks that as long as they are spouting leftist crap, I will NOT go their movies, rent their DVD’s or buy their CD’s!

Isn’t Sasha Baron Cohen a citizen of the UK?
(Borat’s real name)

One thing about a video like this, when McCain wins……..we can play it over, and over, and over again, and not have to pay to see any of their movies again!
Seven Percent Solution on October 30, 2008 at 4:16 PM
Well, I don’t follow celebrities much, but I wrote Cruse off after watching “Born on the 4th of July.”
Thinking back, “Top Gun” was pretty much a crappy movie with a sex scene and some really nifty aerial combat footage laid over the top of it.

Media’s O-Colored Glasses Blank Out Leftist Truth
by Diana West
Despite the disgrace of our free-but-self-caged press, many voters have managed to learn for themselves that Obama has spent a lifetime associating with the kind of anti-Americans and subversives that, by rights, make him ineligible for a federal security clearance — something Daniel Pipes has noted. Many voters understand that when you “spread the wealth around” you are enacting a basic premise of Marxism, or communism, or socialism, or something once upon a time derided as plain old commie-pinko. But that was a long time ago, and the fact is, we just don’t know how many Americans are still put off, if not outraged, by such things.
And maybe this becomes the most important question to be settled on Nov. 4: How many Americans still consider mixing with and supporting bomb-throwers and radicals to be un-presidential? How many Americans still consider a Marxist basis for economics to be, in fact, downright un-American?
That such questions need to be asked, that such answers are in doubt, indicates the extent to which we have already changed as a people, and that is not a hopeful thing. Perhaps the miscalculation many conservatives made throughout this campaign was in assuming that Obama’s alliances and working relationships with leftists and leftist causes were things most Americans would vigorously and automatically reject.
Then again, maybe they still will.

Anyone here ever met someone who based his vote on a celebrity endorsement?
aunursa on October 30, 2008 at 4:19 PM
I want my f***ing four minutes and forty one seconds back!
….awww…..Harrison….banging the garbage can lid of “STOLEN ELECTION”.
I am SO SURE they will be harpin’ on that when Obama takes ALL the electoral votes and TEN times more for all those dead folks….

Oh yeah..
Steven Spielberg is the most overrated director ever.
PS.. I hate that ‘floating’ camera looks.. where the person stands there and the camera floats all over place.. too many documentaries do it.. it is distracting and annoying..
put the effing camera on a tripod and stop trying to be hip for hipness sake..
DaveC on October 30, 2008 at 4:22 PM
Wait one- isn’t Still a Republican?
So this is just a “vote” video, not an “Obama endorsement”…?
pseudonominus on October 30, 2008 at 4:22 PM
This equals the MSM going on and on about Sara’cuda’s duds. Who gives a damn who these bloated, overpaid, sacks of dung vote for?

Ben Stiller I ment

Tom Cruise:
“After dinner. After lunch. Yes, after birth. Placenta, one of today’s greatest food resources going to waste in the world today.

Oh yeah, vote for Obama.”

One chick says she is voting so her friend can come home safe?.
Uh honey I hate to break the news to you but no matter who wins we aren’t simply going to drop our weapons and park the HMMV’s and get on planes and come home.
Leonardo is voting to save the world? Dude the Islamic radicals have their tentacles everywhere. Pick up a paper. That is what you are trying to save the world from right? To keep people from being blown up by suicide bombers.

I have not been to a theatre (except for EXPELLED and AMERICAN CAROL)to see a movie and eat artery clogging stale popcorn in THIRTEEN YEARS!!!!
Pirate their sh*t with abandon….it is my way of giving it to them right where they deserve it…in the backside…

Can Snoop Dog even vote? He is a convicted felon.
uncalheels on October 30, 2008 at 4:30 PM
Why is it that Obama’s support group is such a damn FREAK SHOW?
I’d love to see a 527 ad with a montage of photos of all the freaks, miscreants, and avowed enemies of the US supporting the socialist man-child Obama. What a disgusting freak show that would be – if these creeps repulse normal people like they repulse me, such an ad would be a home run. I was at the Palin rally here in Vegas last week, and the Obama protesters were just a bizarre collection of costumed mental patients – we can’t hand the country over to these people, can we?
Fishoutofwater on October 30, 2008 at 4:30 PM
This may be wishful thinking, but I’m beginning to wonder if people are SICK of Obama. It’s oversaturation. It’s too much. The over the top campaign. The money. The ads. The celebrities.
Here’s hoping anyway.

Who cares.
(Sorry, but my level of caring about celebrity endorsements is so low I can’t even try to think of a better comment.)
rbj on October 30, 2008 at 4:34 PM
Anybody who’s dumb enough to be swayed by some celebrity endorsements is probably already voting for Obama anyway.
AZCoyote on October 30, 2008 at 4:36 PM
In Florida they can.

Of course I’m just sitting here, it’s not 11-4 yet, ACORN tools!
And I love the transparent attempts at “balance”.
Quite true!

If you resent these mindless Hollywood creeps, then boycott their movies. Why reward someone who wants to bring your country to its knees? BOYCOTT HOLLYWOOD.

funky chicken on October 30, 2008 at 4:41 PM
This is the dirty little secret nobody wants to talk about.
A friend of mine, who would do anything to find an excuse to not vote for McCain, (but did already) did so because of that precise reason. He said Obama talks too much and sounds too arrogant.
And that was before I told him that the World series was delayed due to Obama’s infomercial. He almost died roaring with laughter!!
The fact that they felt they had to do it, shows lack of confidence.
Obama’s top campaign team loves baseball and why the hell they would risk pissing off right-of-center Democrats who love baseball is so beyond comprehension!!
But…psst.. keep this quiet please.
They must be dumb, desperate or both.
Mcguyver on October 30, 2008 at 4:42 PM
Yeah, I don’t dignify that shyte either…
surrounded on October 30, 2008 at 4:42 PM
I adore celebrity interference because they think they are “helping”.
I’m almost positive Tom “Cwooze” and Justin Timberdouche never have even graduated high-school.
Marcus on October 30, 2008 at 4:44 PM
Tom Cruise.
Well, I guess John McCain just lost the all-important Scientologist vote.
Glenn Jericho on October 30, 2008 at 4:45 PM
They’re not particularly funny or smart… but they play it on TV.
Yeah, end it with an America basher making a masturbation joke. That’s about right.
Sugar Land on October 30, 2008 at 4:45 PM
Thank God for private voting booths–just watch, McCain will win with over 50% of the vote. I just don’t think a lot of people will be able to pull the lever for Obama in their heart of hearts.
m064404 on October 30, 2008 at 4:46 PM
Is Steven Spielberg really that short or was Tom Cruise standing on a box?
D2Boston on October 30, 2008 at 4:47 PM
Obama can have it!!!

Grue in the Attic on October 30, 2008 at 4:52 PM
Tom Cruise and Harrison Ford endorsed Barack Obama for president of the U.S. In related news, dog bites man, rain falls down, moonbats are insane and dog farts really do stink.
ManlyRash on October 30, 2008 at 4:52 PM
I agree with Will Smith’s father. “You don’t vote, you can’t bitch.”
Butters on October 30, 2008 at 4:52 PM
Another Hollywood production urging people to vote that couldn’t get through a few minutes without mentioning the word, ‘porn’. These actors are not role models. Vote to get a “hand relief”, Borat says. Really, it’s just so pathetic. They should not be giving out advice.
apacalyps on October 30, 2008 at 4:54 PM
Speaking of convicted felons, how do they keep them from registering to vote, is their a CF on their license or something? Really … anyone know?

Liberty or Death on October 30, 2008 at 5:28 PM
Yes.
And 4 years ago she warned her liberal friends and American women in general that if they didn’t care about the possibility of being raped, to not vote. And Kerry lost, and teh evil Boosh stayed president. So what happened? Did Boosh ban abortions? Did he and his goons go around on sprees assaulting women? No?
It’s sad that anyone (such as Spielberg, apparently) is giving any assistance to – or bothering to listen to this vapid imbecile at all.
wise_man on October 30, 2008 at 5:33 PM
Isn’t orlando bloom uhm not allowed to vote here? Isn’t Ryan Reynolds canadian? I am confused.
demurejen on October 30, 2008 at 5:34 PM
Remember Dems, Borat just did hand relief in the booth before you.
Happy voting.
Rhinoboy on October 30, 2008 at 5:36 PM
I’m starting to feel a little guilty about my nearly life-long crush on Harrison Ford. I heard somewhere he was voted best fictional president in a movie (Air Force One)… too bad the best parts of him are merely parts he’s played on the silver screen.
I have never understood the adoration and obession by people towards the denizens of Hollywood. I may think a few of them are good actors, or are good-looking, but I don’t care what they wear, how they live, or how they vote.
Anna on October 30, 2008 at 5:41 PM
Oh gawd, they got Ben Stiller too.
*sigh*……….
The Ugly American on October 30, 2008 at 5:43 PM
I thought Tom Cruise was supporting L. Ron Hubbard in the election.
Cicero43 on October 30, 2008 at 5:43 PM
What’s that got to do with it? In New Mexico illegal aliens are not only allowed to vote, they are encouraged to vote. Bill Richardson will ersonally drive them around to as many polling places as they want.
I saw a spot on FOX yesterday that indicated that at least 10,000 felons in Florida will be able to vote., and 4,000 of them still in prison.
In Ohio, ANYTHING goes. IF Foreigners want to vote there, all they have to do is sit on a park bench for two minutes to have an official address. And ACORN officials will be standing by to register them
at the end ofduring that two minutes.LegendHasIt on October 30, 2008 at 5:47 PM
Of course Tom Cruise is endorsing Obama, his campaign tactics are the same as scientology’s “fair game”.
Look it up : http://www.xenu.net
Seriously, this isn’t a threadjack. Look at what happened to some of scientology’s critics and compare to Joe the Plumber.
JeffWeimer on October 30, 2008 at 6:14 PM
Boycott Hollywood. It’s easy. Put them out of business. Hit them in their pocketbook.
hawkdriver on October 30, 2008 at 6:16 PM
Here’s an email I received from an acquaintance of mine who is a current, active scientologist. In their beliefs as explained to me, anything 2.0 or below is considered “antisocial”, therefore destructive to the individual or societies. Apparently, Tom didn’t get the memo:
Fishoutofwater on October 30, 2008 at 7:52 PM
BTW – in my humble opinion, scientology is really only dangerous to scientologists. Just don’t become one and you got nothing to worry about there, Grue. The ones I know are weird for sure, but generally harmless as far as I can tell.
Fishoutofwater on October 30, 2008 at 8:10 PM
Obama thinks he is somebody, based on nothing.
His only accomplishment is running for offices.
Just like these actors, he can play at being something, but behind the facade, it’s one more empty vessel.
Or Suit.
profitsbeard on October 30, 2008 at 8:26 PM
Awesome, a commercial that exposes all the actors who support Obama! Thanks! I wont have to research what movies to NOT pay for and simply download now! Hell, good enough for them, good enough for me!
javamartini on October 30, 2008 at 8:28 PM
Heh…a bunch of ugly hippies. How many of them aren’t citizens? How many of them normally don’t vote? If there was a decent newspaper in Los Angeles, a reporter would go check the voter registration rolls and find out.
Jaibones on October 30, 2008 at 10:24 PM
Sasha Cohen is British, right? So is the little twerp in that hat, right?
Jaibones on October 30, 2008 at 10:25 PM
Glad I can bring some cheer to the Great Underground Empire. I just remembered something. The Weekly World News had previosly reported that the alien had switched his vote for McCain.
Xemu better explain things to Archbishop Cruise.
