it was at this scene when i realized it was tom cruise, whom i actually cant stand. i had to give him some respect for his acting on this one, fanfuckingtastick

[–] [email protected] 43 points 1 year ago

I honestly hate him as a person but it's impossible to deny his skill as an actor. "Edge of Tomorrow" is easily one of the best sci fi movies in history.

Tom Cruise is a massive piece of shit and I refuse to pay for his work on principle but Les Grossman was a great character.

Hollywood is filled with super talented pieces of shit. I can't really watch any movie or show if I bring morality into it, since so many celebrities are people I would avoid

Not even the celebrities. Producers, execs, etc...

There are plenty of shithead actors, writers, and directors for sure. But I’m certain that the worst people in the industry by far are producers and execs

I want to know more. What did he do?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

He’s a big shot within Scientology. A cult which is linked to structural physical and mental abuse as well as blackmailing, stalking and suspicious disappearance of (former) members.

He’s not just a member though, he’s supposedly just below the current head honcho.

Yeah I knew that actually. Thought it was something more. But maybe it's bad enough, I don't know much about it.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

It’s enough for me and it’s up to everyone to decide for themselves wether or not they can separate the art from the artist.

With Tom Cruise, it’s ongoing. It’d be different if it were some thing he was involved with in the past that he had now distanced himself from for example.

He was also incredibly good in Magnolia, playing kind of the same sort of character
