He also loves scammi- I mean Scientology.

Maybe the question we should ask is not "how much does Tom Cruise love movies", but rather "where is Shelly".

I can't get out of my head that he -- and nearly everyone who follows that shit -- is blackmailed into doing so

[–] ToadOfHypnosis@lemm.ee 17 points 1 week ago

Duh. Movies made him really, really rich.

Tom Cruise is also the number 2 guy in Scientology.

Every time I see his face, I get the chills. He genuinely creeps me out.

I love that Christian Bale based his portrayal of Patrick Bateman off Tom Cruise.

Wow…I didn’t know that. Totally tracks.

[–] geekwithsoul@lemm.ee 9 points 1 week ago

Well, if he loves movies, he should do one about the disappearance of Shelly Miscavige - that would be fascinating!

[–] mienshao@lemm.ee 9 points 1 week ago

I fuckin hate that guy

Alternate headline: Tom Cruise really, really loves paychecks. How odd of him.

[–] tacosanonymous@lemm.ee 1 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Why doesn’t he make good ones then?

[–] glimse@lemmy.world 11 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Tom Cruise has a great filmography, what are you talking about? He's an excellent actor even if he is a nut job

[–] tacosanonymous@lemm.ee 1 points 1 week ago

Meh. I feel like his shit is pretty mid other than a select few. Also, they seem to have gotten way more forgettable since his 90s films.

What are you talking about? He was awesome in.... umm.....
