• Pat Flood (@rebarcock) passed away 9/21/25. Pat played a huge role in encouraging the devolopmemt of this site and donated the very first dollar to get it started. Check the thread at the top of the board for the obituary and please feel free to pay your respects there. I am going to get all the content from that thread over to his family so they can see how many people really cared for Pat outside of what they ever knew. Pat loved to tell stories and always wanted everyone else to tell stories. I think a great way we can honor Pat is to tell a story in his thread (also pinned at the top of the board).

Why do people dislike Tom Cruise? My mom “dislikes” him but can’t name why.

He’s the GOAT action movie star. No questions asked.

He performs every damn stunt himself at 59 years old.

He’s a gentleman.

Is it the Scientology thing? Because I literally can’t tell the difference between Christianity, Scientology, Buddhism, and every other religion that was made up.

Seems like the guy gets a bad rep.

Scientology is bad because it wasn't made up long enough ago. Same to a lesser extent with the mormons.
 
He’s a bit of a weirdo. Some can’t separate the person from the work. I personally like the work he does and that’s all that matters.
A bit, yeah

i like Tom Crusie.he's box office gold bc he hasn't aged in 30 years...also people don't like him bc he's a psychopath. but being the GOAT action movie star is debatable.. I'd say Jason Statham has him beat on that level

early Tom Cruise was top-tier though:
-born on the fourth of july
-eyes wide shut
-interview with a vampire
-vanilla sky

Personally, I like JS better but he’s made some bad movie choices. Like the one he fails epically at having a Texas accent

He is quite popular, otherwise Top Gun would be bottom trash, instead it is breaking opening day box office records. Tell your relative to hate Tom Cruise with all her heart, all her mind and all her soul - that will wear her out and shut her T.F.U.

He's a total savant, but he's fucking crazy.

The Scientologist's are totally whacked out and their alien bullshit
