From Best Week Ever Blog, details on Tom Cruise's NYC trip next week for the premiere of Mission: Imossible 3. BWEB calls it's "shock and awe, up close and personal!" and it's no joke. Here's a map and how the afternoon and evening will work:
2:30PM - Helicopter arrives at the North Cove Helipad (5 North End Avenue)There's always a chance the itinerary will change now that it's out, but really, this is like him just posing in one of the trains at the Transit Museum - cheap! They'll probably stock the car full of Scientologists so it looks like a regular subway.
3-5PM - Screening of MI3 at 19 Rector Street
5PM - Speedboat from the South Cove (98 Battery Place) that goes uptown
5:15-5:30PM - Speedboat lands at a pier at 135th and Riverside
5:45PM - Drives sports car to the MI3 screening at the Apollo Theater (253 West 125th)
8PM - Takes a private 2/3 train from Lennox Avenue and West 125th to midtown
8:30PM - Heads to the screening at the Ziegfeld (141 West 54th Street)
Tom Takes Manhattan on May 3 - prepare by watching the Muppets Take Manhattan. Or Independence Day.




A PRIVATE 2/3 train? That is so not fair. Bloomberg rides with everyone else, why can't Tom? Is this something the city allows on a regular basis? I'm wondering how many of my "congestion" delays might have been caused by PR stunts.
Maybe we should flashmob something at the stations along his "private" route?
Yeah, a private subway. Oooh Tom, you're so edgy and daring!
Damn, that man needs a cockpunch.
tom is such a pretty boy it sickens me. is he married for show or what?
"I'm wondering how many of my "congestion" delays might have been caused by PR stunts."
Exactly. How many people are going to be held up because one entire train will basically be put out of service?
Shock and awe, indeed.
Great! Now I know where to avoid next week.
Offhand, I'd say the real Impossible Mission is for Cruise to convince anyone he's sane.
For the LOVE OF GOD, STOP posting crap about Tom Cruise! You know our world sucks when you can't escape the "Tom Cruise took a dump at the Mandarin" headlines!!
Wait, he has to watch the movie twice in 1 day...now that is an Impossible Mission...
You should have pasted his face on the picture of that raw food restaurant guy!
Due to his widespread influence on culture, men in nyc this summer will all be sporting this jerry mathers haircut and ball-pinching camel-toe trousers. older men will be sporting the new tom hanks modified mullet. hollywood actors shouldn't be allowed admittance to nyc.
Most people could care less about cult brainwashed nutjob Tom Cruise. It isn't like he is even a good actor anyway.
Someone should find out what train is the one infront of him, so we can jam the doors and keep his ass and "Private train" in the tunnels.
Stupid.
