He's regging himself? Sad if true.I get the impression that Tom is pretty much bankrolling his own movies at this point - but I'm no expert.

We have someone on site this week, out here in PodunkLand, from one of the LA orgs. It sounds as if everyone. including public, is being called in to meet with a rep 'just to chat'.
Is it a metered "chat"?

Not that I am aware but I'll know more after after Mr/s Blanky's had a turn. I don't know for sure if s/he'll tell me, but I will have some idea how bad it was by the level of stress and irritation. Golly it's gonna be a fun week.
I just realized we need and "omg! Praying for you" button. So what happened? Did you get called in?
How much did she donate?

I didn't read all of this thread, but where did you get that idea?
I haven't studied the financing deals behind Cruise's last few movies, but I will mention that it is extremely rare that a movie star, director or producer uses their own money to finance a motion picture.
I don't actually recall any movie that Cruise ever financed.
Typically, if an actor finances their own film it becomes quite widely written about, such as Mel Gibson's "The Passion of Christ" which he and his company invested $30M for the production and another $15M for the marketing. It is written that he earned several hundred million dollars back from that investment.
Cruise did once become a minor investor/partner to acquire the legendary movie company United Artists, generally considered a "vanity deal". That deal went bad and Cruise exited the movie financing business and his dream of being able to independently produce/finance his own films.
Lol - I'll have to add that to my running wish list of buttons
Hummm..... it must not have been anything too extreme since I don't recall specifics. I think it was about "how can we help you get up the bridge"? It's possible members with bigger bank accounts got hit a little harder.
Mr/s Blanky has very little disposable income and virtually no credit thanks to a bad cult decision some years ago. If s/he donated anything it wasn't much.
Last night, out of the blue, I got a phone call to come to the Maiden Voyage event at the org. They have scraped the bottom of the barrel so hard that they've broken through the bottom and are digging in the subsoil underneath.
Well, how else are they to break through and get you to realize you need to uprate your status for the good of mankind?
And just around the corner there will be yet another big PR nightmare for the cult.
If it wasn't for bad news they'd not get any news at all !

I'm trying to figure out if either you or I are serious about what we posted.Was that MV we missed last weekend?? Sadly Mr/s Blanky and I were out drinking and dancing and partying with friends. :dancer:
Oh please say you did and that we'll have a new recording to listen to over at Tony's! Andreas was just heading for summer re-runs.
