stranger than fiction


These two fascinate me.

I'm not a fan of Cruise, although I quite liked Risky Business and A Few Good Men.

It's the Scientology that keeps me from going to any of his movies, and since he's such a good actor, it's really a shame.

Still, these two, along with their daughter, continue to feed my curiosity. The movies, the money, the power - I'm pretty sure that he interviewed her for the position she's in now. I wonder if she'll ever have her own career, or will he create it for her? How much do they know about the cult, and the slavery? If she ever left him, would he let her have Suri?

With so much power behind him, it's likely that no one will ever really know what goes on in their real lives. Maybe that's for the best.

  1. Does he ever show signs of ageing as these past few years his looks have not altered except in that pic where his hair is way to weird.

  2. I cant stand him.I think shes really pretty and I am sad that she is with him.I think she would have been happier and better suited with someone her own age.

  3. I've always had a huge crush on her since Dawson's Creek and I honestly thought she was too intelligent to fall the scientology crap.

    Disappointed in her but I still have that crush...

  5. I have NEVER understood what anyone finds attractive about The Chook ( don't you think he looks like a strutting rooster?). He smacks of control. It saddens me she is in that situation, but she chose to be there. She must have lessons to learn. Maggs

  6. Somehow she doesn't look real in that picture. Strange picture.

  8. Wouldn't it be interesting if he had to step outside himself and see what the world sees. I wonder if he would cope with the reality.
    As for Kate, she looks like a store dummmy in the picture. Poor kid.

  9. With mr-stu on this one...weird hair. Actually, weird all way round. He is wacko. How could someone ever consider being with this guy. Acting abilities aside, this fruit cake belongs in Afghanistan with the rest of the Taliban nut jobs. Not to mention, his stature is definitely Napoleonic...and we all know what that means. In short, I have zero respect for this dud (not dude...DUD!).

  10. I agree with you on this...fascinating but creepy. I too think that there is some weird manipulation going on.

  11. Strange picture. There is definitely something not natural about this marriage. She looks like his puppet.

  12. she looks like a life size doll. I liked him in the same movies but now he is just weird.

  13. Everyone has to do their own living. He is just an actor and so if he happens to be in a good film I will watch it.

    What he does in his own time might be odd to some of us but that is a manifestation of his inner self.

    Scientology baffles me in many respects. I have read Ron Hubbard and found his Sci Fi books to be imaginative but not all that impressive.

    I can't imagine looking to that author for religion.

  15. I ban his movies in my house. I won't let anyone here contribute a cent to scientology.

  16. I will never understand anyone for falling into the scientology stuff... but it usually means they are looking for something they are missing.

    There are more actors into it, like John Travolta... so ban his movies, too? And I'm sure there are many we don't know about.

  17. Since when could Tom Cruise act...?
    ;-)

  18. Dorrie - yes, we ban Travolta movies, and jusr recently we started banning Will Smith movies. If they're on TV and we don't pay for it, then it's okay.
    The other day, we dropped the ban to buy I am Legend, but I'm not sure if that was made before he started dabbling in it.

  19. Just noticing your last comment, Kate, yes, I can assure you that Legend was made before his ‘conversion’ to Scientology. Apart from Vanilla Sky, it’s the only film of his I have on DVD. As someone who saw it at the cinema, I’m very aggravated that you can’t get it with the Tangerine Dream soundtrack of the cinema release version.

    But I digress. They do indeed look uncannily like waxworks in that photo, all-too appropriate given the mind-sucking nature of Scientology. Though (probably through not having seen Dawson’s Creek) I only came across Kate Hudson fairly recently, I do feel sorry for her (as well as thinking she is very pretty – probably an influence!), and hate Tom Cruise all the more for what he’s done to her.

    Of course I despise him for having a full head of hair too, as any balding middle-aged man would.

  20. I did of course mean ‘Katie Holmes’, not ‘Kate Hudson’. Ahem.
