“Sounds like Tom takes his job seriously, knows how much it will cost if they get shut down.”
And AFAIK it’s HIS money. Why do people here have an objection to this? A breakout of illness could threaten the project, hurting a lot more people than just Cruise.
Even people who don’t think masks work must believe that distance does.
I personally don’t think masks of the type that the public wears helps much if at all medically but it does remind people to keep their distance.
“How can a man who got to bed Mimi Rogers and Nicole Kidman in their prime be so damn angry?”
Because he doesn’t do those things anymore? :(
Karen University could use a guy like that.
I’d have walked out during the first one.

I would make a guess that he has some financial input to the movie....maybe ten to twenty million, and just a simple delay of a week, could eat up three-million easily. If you had a snowball effect, going up to a month...that could be ten-million easily wasted.
For those who want to argue that it’s not necessary, any kind of stupid breach on rules could have legal implications, and I seriously doubt if any insurance company covers events like this. So it’s cash straight out of your pocket.
Don’t forget Mr. Briggs.
The classic series is still the best.
I like the music of Pablo Cruise.
Heheh. Money doesn't buy happiness or sanity or salvation.
There are plenty of dirt-poor self-important fools too.
One bit of perspective - if he’s got his own money tied up in it, and he’s the one actually writing the checks, then he’s probably a little wound up.
Some dogooder can come shut him down and say goodbye to all that money.
Would I have handled it that way, probably not. I’m also not a scientologist either, so there you go.
Hitchcock wrote all the checks for Psycho. All of them. Took a huge gamble, which of course paid off.
I heard some of the Tom Cruise rant on Tucker’s show last night. I have worked for a very large company and a very small company in the last half century. I have never heard, nor heard of such a rant anywhere. Anyone who would have made such a rant would have been fired as soon as it became known. It’s hard for me to believe that anyone making such a rant would be capable of anything but permanent constraint in a straight jacket.
Me as well, though I don’t go out of my way to find it. Maybe I should dig further.
It took Yacht Rock Radio to make me remember.
In the Navy, on a ship, these kind of rant go on all the time. The longer a ship is out at sea the more the rants. Heck, Cruse never used a cuss word in his rants..
Whatcha Gonna Do?
Scientologists are so emotionally stable. Like homosexuals.
In the piece on Tucker’s show there was at least one ‘F-word’ in every sentence.
I must have missed that.
I liked that movie :)
Sounds like he self-destructed after delivering his rant.//
Yes it does.
He must have mistaken himself for some authority he played in some movie.
