Little Tom goes off on one.

Presumably he was half way up a stepladder when ranting and raving, tries to dress it up like he's concerned about covid but in reality its more about him wanting to get his movie done.

Y Seems like you just don't like Tom Cruise.

Yeah that's definitely the reason :rolleyes:

. This whole tirade was allegedly sparked by 2 people standing what he considered to be too close together looking at a monitor. Then he goes on to point people out left and right then refers to everyone assembled as "mother *******".

Don't see the problem, if you had large chunks of cash on the line you'd probably also be mildly annoyed at people risking your business.

So instead of holding a meeting about it, it's better to blow a gasket dropping f bombs left and right? Very professional.

That didn't seem to be your initial point?

So are you now saying it would have been fine and about covid if he'd held a meeting?

Maybe they'd had multiple meetings about it and yet it was still being ignored, I doubt this was the first time it had been mentioned.

And maybe they didn't? Regardless flying off the handle like that just makes him out to be a bit of a tit, and singling people out is like something a teacher would do to try and embarrass people in front of the class.

A quick "lads stop ****ing about" often solves things much quicker and easier.

Like I said it depends on what you're used to I suppose. I wouldn't expect it in my current job, in my old jobs it was the way forward.

Maybe so, seen plenty of opinions one way or the other on twitter.

It sounded perfectly reasonable to me. I don't see what him being of a certain stature ( ) has to do with anything.

I just get the mental image of Tiny Tom Cruise from Family Guy on a ladder ranting and raving in my head.

That's just how it goes in a number of industries, *especially* when the person blowing a gasket at you is the one whose name will be dragged through the media and be held personally responsible all across the Twitterverse for your **** up. It won't be a Hollywood film that gets an outbreak in the headlines, it'd be 'COVID SPREAD BY TOM CRUISE FILM' or similar.

Can you imagine if this was Marco Pierre White's kitchen, or one of Gordon Ramsay's places? The f-bomb would be the least of your worries.

Some industries you'd expect it in, ramsay and white are renowned for it and the building trade is also. Seems to be a bit of a 180 for cruise though as i don't recall him ever being like that behind the scenes. Possible he has and it's never been recorded before i suppose.

hes producer so will have his own money in it.

Producers don't always put their own money in it, more often than not they get it from elsewhere.

Hes an investor/ owner of the Production house that makes the MI films. Its what allows him to own the rights and allow him to make all those set dangerous stunts.

Did he get ownership of that after he was dismissed from that other company at the height of scientology being in the news? Can't recall if it was WB or not.
