Blog Guy, I’m confused. A couple of months ago you did an item sort of poking fun at all the free publicity Tom Cruise and Cameron Diaz were getting just by going from city to city promoting the premiere of some new movie.
Yes, I remember. We covered them at premieres in at least six cities, way back in July. Why do you mention it now?
Well, you’re not going to believe this, but just yesterday I saw NEW shots of them, pushing the SAME movie, and they are still calling it a premiere!
I guess that makes sense. They’re in Japan now. It takes a long time to get there. You think you can just jump on a nonstop jet or something?
Wait a minute, Blog Guy. So every fricking place in the world where Cruise and Diaz stop by for a first showing, it’s still newsworthy? Like Iceland and North Korea and Wyoming?
Hey, that’s showbiz, pal.
So humor me. If like eight years from now, this movie is showing for the first time on The Weather Channel or something, and my wife and I are going to watch it in our own bedroom at home, there could be a knock on the door and…
You got it. “Look, Honey! It’s Tom and Cameron and a photographer, just in time for their movie! Get some folding chairs! Hey, look! They brought Kettle Corn and Milk Duds!”

Dave’s butt is on the bench.
Whoah Cameron Diaz’s leg is so very very shiny! I think she must have left a coating of wax on it last time she went to the salon.
And hey they are doing the hokey pokey down the stairs! Oh those two, so full of wacky shennanigans. :p
I dont care, I get to see shoes… I am happy.. despite having a freaking headache…
Is her shoe untied? It looks dangerous.
But look how craftily they orchestrated the staircase descent: Cam is one step below, thus minimizing (maximizing?) Tom’s shortness.
Couldn’t she justhave carried him, sort of like a ventriloquist kind of deal?
The picture makes more sense if you imagine they are walking up the stairs backwards.
It looks as though Cam’s artificial leg is tethered to the stairs to stop her running away from Tom.
Another random thought: Is Tom Cruise related to Khagendra Thapa, or were they just on the same Basler Air flight one day?
Are the aliens from Scientology controlling Tom’s leg in the second photo? There is something out of the ordinary going on. Maybe he’s actually ascending an invisible stairway to a higher plane?
@Spin, we at Basler Air don’t really fly actors around anywhere. What we do is like they do in the movies, we have a smoke machine and fans to make it look like the plane is moving. The actors don’t know the difference because it’s what they are used to in the movies! Their “destination” is really just a studio set-up created by the local pre-schoolers during their arts and crafts time.
Uh, that’s not supposed to be generally known, ifly….
The movie they are promoting is so bad, that by the time they reached the bottom of the stairs it was no longer being shown at that theatre.
Shhhh nobody is gonna tell right? Everybody promise? Anyone who can keep the secrect gets a free non-stop flight around the world in our slow, yet somewhat modern, (props to Spin
) Basler BT-69! That’s right, around the world non-stop! Unfortunatly the forecast is supposed to be cloudy. For the entire flight. Oh and don’t look out the window.
@Nosmo, ha ha you should be a movie critic! :p
We have no one to tell, Mr.Pilot… the only people ever to know about the BT-69 is us… and we are all in a lockdown facility… that’s our minds!
Still have to have my cuppa… b back later!
@Ifly: LOL I spotted the same thing, too shiny legs.
They both look creepy
She’s definitely wearing tights… Mr.B, can I get a closer shot of those shoes please?
I want to see how streamers fit into the entire shoe thing…
I’ll never think of Milk Duds without remembering Garfield.
E.
Ifly – umm, just checking that you didn’t get your licence with Basler Air, ’cause you seem too know just a little too much about how they operate. You realise that if you did, it won’t actually help fly a REAL airplane, right?
Mind you, there are some real-life airlines where that doesn’t matter, so I guess you’re OK either way.
In the meantime, can someone pass the doughnuts?
Maybe they opted to have their photo taken with a snake, and are trying not to step on it. Or get bitten by it.
Shiny legs, frozen smiles, legs flying off the stairs: they are the inflatable people!
@fwd079.. yeah dude I am all for smooth shiny legs but her leg there just seems a bit too shiny. Maybe she is a terminator sent from the future to stop Tom Cruise from acting in “War of the Worlds” and her creators couldn’t get the skin tone right. :p
@Nosmo, I did not get my pilot certificate from Basler Air but I did get Mr. B. to appoint me official pilot of the BT-69 in exchange for rights to the marketing tag “BasAir: We know you want to get the hell off our planes as fast as you can!”
Oh and I have requesitioned for all flights to serve vodka creme filled medidoughnuts!
Arent you the best, Mr.Pilot!
Just trying to keep the customers happy Shra!
