A general read on the Scientology controversy. The comments are illuminating:

I'll watch TG2 for free at some point, but won't pay for it.

+1 I was 16 when Top Gun came out, watched Risky Business many times before that! Of course I'm going to see it! He really disappointed me as a person, but my heart still really enjoys his movies!

Curious where you stand on Harvey Weinstein productions.


I may be wrong, but I don't know that Tom Cruise has done the heinous acts of Harvey Weinstein. Nicole Kidman has even said she was protected from harassment when married to Tom Cruise. Yes, I know he's still been a jerk. But what percentage of people aren't??

In Tropic Thunder Tom Cruise was clearly mocking Weinstein:

You need to read up on Scientology, a cult that destroys lives. He is in the leadership and now only makes blockbusters so that his gargantuan profits can go toward that organization.

Ed Harris is not in Top Gun. So, no. You're thinking of Michael Ironside.


Kelly McGillis


That’s what I thought too.

This way he has everything a movie star of old had, indoctrinated, crazy, belongs to a cult, has abandoned his alleged child, constantly on amphetamines. I mean we all think he is as high as kite on amphetamines, right?
Still, I'll watch Top Gun, he makes watchable movies, even if he is utterly nuts.

I can turn a blind eye to nuts but this guy literally destroys people’s lives and livelihoods. He’s another one separating children from mothers.

Would be nice, but I'd be surprised in a Tom-Cruise-is-the-ultimate-hero movie.
