It's August. Good enough reason for a Tom Cruise thread.
We haven't heard much from Tom since the release of his summer non-blockbuster "Edge of Tomorrow". While some reviews of the film were favorable, stating it was good for its sci-fi genre, it bombed at the American box office. Now released on DVD, the name of the film has been changed to "Live, Die, Repeat".
What got me thinking about Cruise was a brief mention in today's Underground Bunker column about his divorce from Nichole Kidman. Stating that their divorce, unlike the divorce from Katie Holmes, was not a direct result of $cientology.
Uhhh, I seem to recall his $cientology handlers had some part in all of that. Anyone else remember it that way? As I said in my introductory post here, as a never-in, the way I got interested in Cof$ was by reading the Andrew Morton unauthorized biography of Tom Cruise.
Interesting to read the reviews of that 2008 book when it was released - which I had never read before. Reviews can be found at the bottom of this article:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andrew_Morton_(writer)
Since then, about 99.9% of what Morton wrote about the Cof$, its practices, Miscavige, and Tom's involvement in the church has been verified time and time again to be true.
Anyone here know who worked with Andrew Morton on the book? Whoever it was, they were quoting Miscavige comments about Cruise, so they had to be VERY close.
(Mike? Marty?)
The children: Connor Cruise, Tom's adopted son who was theoretically raised in Cof$, seems to be following his own unique pathway in life:

Tom's latest: At 52, back to the Mission Impossible series for #5. While filming in Vienna somehow video of Tom performing his own stunts during filming were leaked to an online video site.

( Seriously, I hope she's old enough to cope with the Scientology thing a bit better....and I wish her the best.)
