Thank you for NOTHING!

At the Sundance screening of Jason Reitman’s (son of Ivan Reitman, Ghosbusters) “Thank You for Smoking”, a 12 second sex scene showcasing Katie Holme’s natural born talents was suspiciously absent, and many theorize that Tom Cruise was somehow involved.

What I DO believe, and bear with me on this, is that Tom went all Ethan Hunt on their asses and made the changes himself, you know, all cloak & dagger-like. You don’t star in two Mission: Impossible movies (one highly entertaining, the other gut-wrenchingly painful to watch… I’ll let you guess which one, go ahead, I’ll wait…) without learning a few tricks of the trade, especially after faking performing most of your own stunts. I visualize Tom/Ethan repelling down from the unusually high editing room ceiling, knocking out a few guards and the film editor, and then proceeding to cut out his goiter’s future wife’s scene, solely by raising his hands and staring at the editing equipment while shouting his magical words “MAPOTHER!” Then they finally screen the film and –BAM!!! No one even notices… or cares… except for Reitman, who is heard in the background shouting “MAVERICK!!! CURSES!!!” Could you really expect anything less magical from a man who once had Emilio Estevez as his best man? I would think not.
