Deleted scene from Paul Thomas Anderson's film, Magnolia, in which Frank TJ Mackey (Tom Cruise) gives a seminar to a group of men on how to score women.
@@jimclawley9117 The interview scene made my heart stop!!! She asked "What are you doing?" Without blinking he replied "Judging you". Tom's intensity in this scene - Epic.
This actually happened with Tom in his real life. Tom tells a story about speaking with PTA his personal story of losing his father. It's pretty intense.
Easily my favorite performance from Cruise. He showed so much range and nuance with this role and he was completely believable. It's performances like this that prove to me that he still has the potential to be a great actor.
@@randywhite3947 Late reply on my part, but fair point: in hindsight, I should've worded that better than I did. I guess what I mean is that he often goes for a certain type of role, the more physically demanding roles if you will (which, save for a few, don't seem to require the same level of acting chops as roles like Frank T.J. Mackey, Vincent, Ron Kovic, and such), and based on that, it can be easy to forget that he can take on roles like this, really dig deep, and wow viewers with the kind of acting chops he does have. Honestly, I'm just hoping for the day where he starts consistently taking on roles that stretch his acting chops more and more.
I thought that something was missing when we watched this movie last night, and he talked about staging a "tragedy." This scene is great! They should not have deleted it.
@@cowicial5674 Rachel McAdams and Mark Wahlberg have also been nominated... Nobody in his right mind can say they are great actors. Oscars is very often a popularity contest.
Randy White Sure. It really was a room full of people in 1998/99 who believed that Tom Cruise wasn’t acting when they said ‘action’ and ‘cut’, but instead hosted hotel conference room seminars on male hook up techniques.
Tom Cruise earned his 3rd Oscar nomination for this movie (he lost to Michael Caine that year), however, it was quite a surprise for most people, almost everyone predicted that he'd win - he won the Golden Globe for the same category that year. I wish he'd have more roles like this in the future - he may have some issues but as far as acting goes, he's definitely a great actor.
I love that he answers the phone just simply by saying his last name Mackie lol I don't have a last name that rolls off the tongue as good as that and it wouldn't work if I said it.
I just watched the movie and absolutely loved it. Now I watched this deleted scene and busted out laughing! I can see why it was cut, but I think this scene was brilliant!
@@bookeblade Personally I think they were a little too light-hearted and comedic for the way PTA built tension around Tom Cruise's character in Magnolia. He was not supposed to make us laugh by doing funny sketches, because then he'll be much more likeable character (as a rule, we like characters that make us laugh, even if they are assholes) than he should have been, especially at this (introductory) part of the film. Also, generally speaking it would be too much of a tone shift in my opinion. That said, I love those scenes. Made me think, I wouldn't mind a good comedy with Tom Cruise. I think he can totally nail it.
I think probably it's better to leave this scene out. The movie is long enough as it is and this really would of messed up the movie's pacing. In the other scenes you get a good enough idea that his character is a sleaze that wants to manipulate women to get them into bed. This scene just reinforces it, but is just telling us what we already knew.
dcc1980 It is not as clear cut as that son. If he is a sleaze bag, why did he nurse his mother when she was dying of cancer? The film is about the knock on effect of cruelty.
I think the reason this was cut is because the scene gives the impression that his program is at least mildly successful while with the scene removed there's no reason to believe he's anything other than a misogynistic fraud that hasn't had the success with women he claims to have had and manipulates the insecurities of other men more often than the insecurities of woman as he so often brags about during his lectures .
As funny as this scene may be, I feel like it broke Mackey's mystique for the audience a little too quickly. We all knew he was full of shit, but still, we had to see how he presented himself to the people. And y'know what, it worked, first minute I thought he was an ass, second minute I was loving every second of his deranged philosophy.
I just watched this movie for the first time on dvd last night and was f*cking astounded at Tom Cruise's performance. He was frigging hysterical! There's a great outttake of when he's on the couch with the girl taking about Pookie the cat- the funniest thing I've ever seen Tom do. He is bad ass in this film.
My cat name is Pookie and he’s a diabetic. I just found out that it’s the same thing in this deleted scene. Hilarious. But my cat didn’t die and I never hang out with Janet
I normally don’t care for Tom Cruise as an actor, but I did like the film Magnolia and thought he and William H. Macy should have won Oscar’s for their performances.
I actually knew a guy who did the same thing. I mean the sad sobbing story. He would tell a story about how his sister had fought a disease and how brave she would have been doing so. And he'd be crying about it and end up in the girl's arms. That was in about 2004, Magnolia is from 1999. Maybe he got inspired ;-).
His apartment looks exactly like I imagined it to be. A fluorescent fish tank, a pinball machine, a big ass stereo system and a black leather couch. Love it.
Indeed, an excellent scene. Following Stanley Kubrick's "Eyes Wide Shut" and Paul Thomas Anderson's "Magnolia" Tom Cruise's professional carrier went into a downward spiral. Yet, Spielberg's "Minority Report" and Mann's "Collateral" are one of the few exceptions.
Or the fact that it's already a 3 hour film and scenes, regardless of how much they are loved, must be cut. I'm sure PTA hated cutting this out, but it was out of necessity I am sure.
Кино
I agree. I've always liked Cruise's movies but his acting chops really showed in this movie. The death bed scene is heart breaking.
The interview scene is a standout, when she asks about his mom and his face just drops. Brilliant.
@@jimclawley9117 The interview scene made my heart stop!!! She asked "What are you doing?" Without blinking he replied "Judging you". Tom's intensity in this scene - Epic.
Gotta admit the death bed scene made me weep. TJ Mackey wanted to hate his dad in his final moments, but profound sorrow overtook him.
Hit home big with him. Those were real tears in that scene
This actually happened with Tom in his real life. Tom tells a story about speaking with PTA his personal story of losing his father. It's pretty intense.

DMKelly20 still has? He’s already proven to be a great actor

@@DMKelly20 Born on the 4th, Magnolia, Collateral, Vanilla Sky etc
@@el34glo59 Yep, great works by Cruise in all those movies.
@@DMKelly20 you replying 13 years later is crazy
Tom killed it. One of his best performances.
Absolutely.
"I know exactly what you did, Janet." PTA is a freaking genius.
Athos Tavares what does it mean?
Its actually based on a real guy and training course. I'm not sure he wrote it.
@@orangewarm1 he did write it, the personality of the character is lifted from a real person but the monologue is PTA's
That’s Gail the snail
I did that to girls when I was like 14..lol
Cruise fixing the date whilst maniacally playing the arcade is the single best sequence in the history of cinema.
I thought that something was missing when we watched this movie last night, and he talked about staging a "tragedy." This scene is great! They should not have deleted it.
Me too. I felt the scene cut in an awkward point. Amderson should have cut some if Donnie's scenes instead esp the bar scenes.
The way he immerses himself in this role is amazing. More amazing than he did for Lestat.
This reminds me of the D.E.N.N.I.S. System Lol
It doesn't apply to Gail the Snail (girl in the video)!
+Luís Fonseca oh shit that's her!? :O
Demonstrate Value
Engage Physically
Nurture Dependence
Neglect Emotionally
Inspire Hope
Separate Entirely
Luís Fonseca hahahahaha that’s great. You gotta salt her it’s the only way
One of the very few people who deserve to be called an actor.
😂
A decent actor, nothing more
@@MrRazorblade999with 2 best actor oscar nominations and one best supporting actor nomination. yeah just a decent actor 🤡

@@MrRazorblade999 idk about rachel but wahlbergs nomination for the departed back in 2007 was 100% justified.
haha love the beginning where he's "playing" videogames, he's just stomping on the buttons
best supporting oscar 1999- Tom Cruise
best Tom Cruise performance ever. Paul Anderson is a great film director.
I love cruise. He is really good.and hes been good for 30 years
-"I mean...his paw,it was just...sob...and it was too late." Aaahahaahaaa!! Mackey,you deranged, manipulative sweetheart,you. Hilarious.
i like how he answers the phone.
"MACKEY!" ...
the funny thing is that the audience are not actors
popeyecb really?
Rumenig Pires yup
Randy White Sure. It really was a room full of people in 1998/99 who believed that Tom Cruise wasn’t acting when they said ‘action’ and ‘cut’, but instead hosted hotel conference room seminars on male hook up techniques.
Love the way he checks his watch after he hangs up on her. Too funny, The Rush poster onhis wall is pretty cool too. Great scene!

What movie did Michael Caine win for?
@@DavidsworldtravelsThe Cider House Rules
What are his issues?
both show that Tom Cruise is a really terrific comedian.
He should do more stuff like this to get his career back in a good direction.
Just thought I'd say hi 14 years later
I cannot watch this scene enough times!!!!!
Anybody who doesn't like Tom Cruise has not seen "Magnolia." Incredible actor.
"We are using reinforcement technique G on these women"
His best role, truly inspirational.
LMAO
can't believe this was deleted. so good....
Frank TJ Mackey is a Rush fan!?! I didn't think it was possible to love this movie anymore!
I love that he answers the phone just simply by saying his last name Mackie lol I don't have a last name that rolls off the tongue as good as that and it wouldn't work if I said it.
One of the Greatest Film Performances of All Time from Tom Cruise. This still holds up well Today.
2015 women are tougher, they do not appreciate a good story about dead cats, they dont care

"I know exactly what you did, Janet"
Uncle Tommy was in his Mach 10 star swagger in this movie lol
I just noticed Frank has his own cabinet arcade game.....and a subway size poster of Rush's "Chronicles"?
Very good satire of PUA trainers!
'I know exactly what you did Janet' lol, she seemed so confused!
His absolute best performance
yes, it was am injustice when he lost the oscar for this...
Why the hell did PTA cut this scene out?
Cut some of the Donnie stuff in the bar, man!

A great filmmaker knows what to cut. PTA was right to do it. Donnie's stuff in the bar is more essential to the themes of the film.

Spot on!
On you Tom.. Best Performance!!
great stuff - thank u for posting
The fact that there are guys like this irl.. cruise did such a good performance especially since he’s the opposite of such guy in real life
Perfect!
TC JUST TOOK IT TO THE NEXT LEVEL!
LEGEND

That's probably why they were deleted from the movie. He becomes too likeable too soon and it goes against the intended dynamics. I think.
This is literally the D.E.N.N.I.S. system
isn't that gail the snail/ barry's brothers from punch drunk love?

Imagine having a scene with Tom Cruise in PTA movie and then the scene gets deleted... poor girl lol
People love to hate on Tom, you have to admit though, he's a great actor and film maker
So great.
I think the laughs at 2:16 are all genuine.
I;'m a big fan of actress Mary Lynn Rajskub AKA Janet. She does good comedy also.
big mistake to leave this out
cruise is underated. ppl just dont like him as a person, but he's actually done some very good movies
Tom Cruise is perfect in roles like these only in the way Keanu Reeves is perfect at playing Ted in Bill and Ted's Exellent Adventure
wow Tom Cruise looking hot as hell in this movie haha
This movie is the BOMB!
MUST SEE!!!
1:21 that Joker laugh 🤣
My cat name is Pookie and he’s a diabetic. I just found out that it’s the same thing in this deleted scene. Hilarious. But my cat didn’t die and I never hang out with Janet
Amazing
Bravo!
Given this epic was about 3 and a half hours, I wouldn't mind sticking around for 3 more minutes.
Frank TJ Mackey you are my god
Funny scene, except he is Tom Cruise and wouldn't need to go through all that shit to score a woman.
Didn't know Tom Cruise was playing himself
And in the movie,he's Frank TJ Mackey,a sex god who doesn't need to try to charm women. They already love him.
This scene and how he’s describing male behaviour to ‘get the girl’ sounds very narcissistic.
Tom is a fantastic actor!
Lmao!!...I've never seen this movie and wanna see it now!!...Love Tom Cruise!!...:)
WHAT A SICK F-CK THAT CHARACTER WAS THO
This should be a tinder commercial.
Actually some great advise!
Puttin on a fight!
Great character great film.
I normally don’t care for Tom Cruise as an actor, but I did like the film Magnolia and thought he and William H. Macy should have won Oscar’s for their performances.

His best movie by far!!.
A few ladies who watched this video realized now why some of their dates 20 years ago acted weird.
He earns every dollar of his salary as an actor.
Poor Chloe her part was removed.
Im thankful they didn't throw salt on her instead :P
awesome, he's a Rush fan
LOL, Love this. But if I had a guy who looks like Cruise sobbing and telling me some story about some cat, I'd just be waiting for him to finish it!
His apartment looks exactly like I imagined it to be. A fluorescent fish tank, a pinball machine, a big ass stereo system and a black leather couch. Love it.
Poor Janet. LOL
The D.E.N.N.I.S. System being used on Gayle the Snail? WTF
Salt the snail Frank!
This scene is funny, sick and wrong at th same time xD
Indeed, an excellent scene. Following Stanley Kubrick's "Eyes Wide Shut" and Paul Thomas Anderson's "Magnolia" Tom Cruise's professional carrier went into a downward spiral. Yet, Spielberg's "Minority Report" and Mann's "Collateral" are one of the few exceptions.
ùiiiiíùíííííííííííùuiiî
How did it went into a downward spiral, if he made 2 of his most famous movies not long after, namely The Collateral and Last Samurai? lol
Love Tom Cruise. For more Tom fun search "I choose Cruise"
that's a really good point.
By far Tom Cruise's best role!
This is so natural acting like he not acting
You gotta love tom cruise
*beats chest*
I wonder if Tom Cruise ever gave Ross Jeffries credit ;)
Or the fact that it's already a 3 hour film and scenes, regardless of how much they are loved, must be cut. I'm sure PTA hated cutting this out, but it was out of necessity I am sure.
Hahahahaha epic Tom Cruise
I´ve read Tom Cruise is going to be in P T Anderson´s next film in 2013. Awesome!
At 3 hours long, I'm surprised there were actually deleted scenes lol
this scene is funny as hell! why was it deleted?
He’s incredible in this film.
really cool foreshadowing for the ending that frank is playing a frogger machine
I can’t believe Gail the Snail got cut out of Magnolia!!! They must have had to use a lot of salt!!!!
Tom Cruise est Génialissime dans ce film.
