If I had been working on that set, I would have tried to organize a mass walkout. I don't care who you are. You don't scream and curse at your employees and talk down to them like they're naughty kids.

Cruise is now a Grand Poobah or something in Scientology, which makes him a legend in his own mind.

Leah Remini's documentary about what Scientology is really about from a first-hand perspective and many testimonials from people who have left. It's very revealing (and disturbing). I watched it on Netflix, but I'm sure it's elsewhere.

I read a book about another person who was in that cult. Pretty disturbing stuff. The guy was virtually a prisoner, and he actually had to engineer his own escape because they wouldn't let him go.

Remini's show, called "Scientology and the Aftermath" is being targeted by the "church" (I put that in quotes because there is no mention of any god or any other type of worship except for money in the organization)to shut down her show. Remini is trying to get the IRS to declassify it as a church and lose their tax-exempt status. And a lot of the people she has on her show are ex-Scientologists who were in very high places within the organization.

I was absolutely amazed at how they try to keep people from leaving....and Shelly Miscavige, the wife of the current leader of the church, David Miscavige, has been missing for over 7 years. Not only is there abuse going on there, but torture as well.

Remini's show is well worth watching, if you have any interest in this. I found it fascinating, creepy and outrageous....and VERY believable.

I say he had a right to complain.
My understanding is that he was paying for all of the PPE and protocols out of his own pocket to keep everyone a bit safer from the v***s. When he saw the laxity on the sets he went ballistic.
To follow protocols is not too much to ask is it, when someone is trying to save your life.
I would’ve been pissed too.
Scientology had nothing to do with it.
So why bring it up?

Really? Do you think that the gov't employees who work alongside Trump should have done that?
Barr's subordinates?
Pompeio's?

Agreed. There are way too many people out of work who would love to follow the rules set to keep each other safe on set to worry about some hurt feelings. We don't know how often he might have spoken up prior to losing his cool.
Just because they aren't interested in their own lives doesn't mean he shouldn't care about his and his dependents.

Whether it's his [ faith ?] or wealth, or sense of entitlement by virtue of "stardom", he acted like a child, not a leader. He's frustrated because a V***S won't bow to his demands...costing him precious MONEY. The C****a 19 could have been carried onto his "Safe-Space" cruise ship by a butterfly, and there's not a damn thing he can do about it. Tom Cruise is no different than my mailman, or your Granny, or President Trump...if you're gonna catch it, you're gonna catch it.

Perhaps the case is that many businesses in California are closed. Here we have an industry that in my opinion is not essential but is allowed to be open with people interacting who are not family members and in a group larger than six. A true case of, “We are all equal but some of us are much more equal than you.” At what point do we say to the elite royals, “We are no longer going to listen to your rants.” If other business are closed by Newsome orders why is a film set open?
Again just my opinion but the flim-flam industry is just shadows on the wall as described by Socrates in Plato’s Republic. The only way not be bored out of ones mind completely by watching a movie is to watch on a tape or DVD where you can fast forward to get to the end before you fall asleep. A two hour movie has about ten minutes worth of watching in it. TV is in the same classification.
