We should be so lucky

It's been awhile since I've bashed on Tom Cruise. He apparently hasn't done anything too asinine in awhile. But then we get this little snippet about his trip to Japan for the Japanese premiere of Mission Impossible 3:

Cruise will then board a private bullet train that will take him and 150 fans to Osaka, and he promises to talk to each passenger individually.

Oooo. Each passenger individually? And to think that Tom Cruise would deign to speak to the little people.

Is this going to be some sort of creepy Scientologist indoctrination train ride?
