Bad hair too. Looks like all one length right from his crown, kind of like putting a mop on your head and trimming it just above the eyes.

Get used to it Katie… This is what happens when you marry someone old enough to be your father.

“Get used to it Katie… This is what happens when you marry someone old enough to be your father.”
But who still combs his hair–and believes in apocalyptic sci-fi visions–as though he were still 15 years old.

The Decade That Never Ends…
“The wide collar, fat tie, and three-piece suit?please say the seventies aren?t coming back?” The seventies took a brief vacation from 1980 to about 1989 or to 2002 if you’re really feeling charitable. Other than that, when did they ever……

But … but I like the three-piece suit! Does the Izzy dislike the waistcoat?? But why? The three-piece suit, it is a classic, regardless of the age of the male. And it is not the additional years that make the crazy Cruise look so unkempt. Perhaps Santa will bring the crazy Cruise a comb for Christmas, in his spaceship drawn by eight tiny aliens.
(I did manage to restrain myself from asking, “Do waistcoats give Izzy a hissy?” – almost.)

The matching three piece suit is bad. All you add is yards more of the same fabric you’ve already seen in the rest of the suit. In dark colors it all blends together and looks flat. All it says is I’m dull and I can afford an additional piece to my suit.
This isn’t the 1800s when we didn’t have central heat. You don’t need the additional layer of a vest to keep warm. If you want to wear a vest/waistcoat then it needs to bring something to the table to justify its presence. Perhaps a light gray suit with a dark gray (or black) vest and a colorful tie. Perhaps the vest could match the tie in shade (but don’t overpattern) to bring color and depth to the ensemble.

Set the Way Back Machine! He’s perfect for an appearance on “The Mike Douglas Show.”

She looks like a monster.
And on a separate/related note, she towers over him.

Nothing wrong with the 3 pc suit, its the way he wears it with the sloppy hair and dare I say the gut. Dark three piece suits are beautiful when worn correctly. Tom doesn’t do “correctly” very well.

[...] With his bangs, patchy goatee, and ill-fitting disco-era suit (note the shirt peeking under the vest, the pants pooling at the ankles, and the wrinkles in the trousers’ crotch), has Brad Pitt ever looked worse? Tom Cruise couldn’t get away with this look either. [...]

You are not right.

Georgia Offers Fresh Evidence on War’s Start
A new front has opened between Georgia and Russia, now over which side was the aggressor whose military activities early last month ignited the lopsided five-day war. At issue is new intelligence, inconclusive on its own, that nonetheless paints a more complicated picture of the critical last hours before war broke out.
Georgia has released intercepted telephone calls purporting to show that part of a Russian armored regiment crossed into the separatist enclave of South Ossetia nearly a full day before Georgia’s attack on the capital, Tskhinvali, late on Aug. 7.
