Tom Cruise and Elon Musk have the same energy.
- Fun fact, Christian Bale based his portrayal of Patrick Bateman in American Psycho on Tom Cruise.
  
  You're right. That IS a fun fact.
- At least cruise learned to shut the fuck up and stay in his lane
  
  Did he, tho? Seems like he's continuing to be a strong vector for Scientology in Hollywood to this day.
  
  He learned to live life secure in the knowledge that he can have his enemies killed without destroying democracy.

I'd look like that too if i went from stupit rich to mega stupid rich

Apparently unrelated to her divorce-- from an interview with GQ:
In this moment, I say, it is impossible not to think of a particular Nicole Kidman meme (of which there are many): she’s probably in her early 30s, and she’s standing on the pavement in a pink top, basking in the sunlight, her eyes closed, her arms out, her mouth open as if she’s letting out a deep sigh of relief. Does she know the one I’m talking about?
“Yes,” she says. “That was not me; that was from a film, that wasn’t real life. I know that image!”
The story that goes with this meme whenever it circulates is that Kidman had just left her lawyer’s office after the dissolution of her first marriage. “That’s not true,” she laughs.

- "a film".
  Wouldn't it be trivially easy to confirm what film it is from the setting? It's not like she starred in 7563 movies...
  
  Not everything shot for a film gets used. The director might say, "let's reshoot the scene with wardrobe B" and then you have a new take with a different outfit.
  Simple scenes like that often take a few days of work to dial in just right. Or sometimes it's done with a single take and everyone feels vaguely off about it until they see the edit.
  
  But that would require watching movies with Nicole Kidman in them
  
  Thanks for making me laugh like an idiot in public

Obligatory, fuck Tom Cruise.
- That's the weird Scientology guy, right?
- No fuck scientology?
  
  "They're the same image"
  
  Wow, no fuck pineapple on pizza?
- That's what she said, for a while.
  
  And then 1 final time
- what did he do
  
  Other people have already mentioned scientology, so I'll add this.
  
  Scientology

thank you for your service @therecoveringproblemchild
- I'm so glad someone is there, covering problem child.
  
  I'm sure they can use all the help they can get!
