from being a young sex symbol box office giant, he's now a guy that makes movies that are guaranteed to be high quality with a good story. They may not be popular, but when you watch one, you know it's going to be good.

Then he made that movie "Magnolia." I hated that movie and I hated his character, so much so that I started disliking him. Then he went all nutty with that Scientology stuff and he completely lost me.

But to each his own. You like who you like. It's all good.
