Let's see... inflammatory hectoring style, strawman positions, single-issue ideology, consistent fight-picking posting strategy. I call bot. 30% chance of an unenviable human with pathological negotiation strategies, but if so then I'm reluctantly impressed by how well they're doing the bot's job.

My own tenure was mercifully less than 40 years, but you and I have both seen the manipulation and psychological pressures at play. Can you or I, of all people, really blame him? There's only one person who stays in Scientology out of genuinely rational self-interest, and it isn't Cruise.

Watched Digger - a wild & visionary satire about the fossil fuel industry and politics. Great dialogues, often laughing-out-loud funny and disturbingly true. It won't be popular in the US but may well become a classic. Tom Cruise deserves an Oscar for his portrayal of oil company boss Digger.

I'd say Cruise isn't bad at all, in most roles. He doesn't have the intuitive gifts of a natural character actor, but I get the impression he compensates with a lot of hard work and coaching, and the end result is competent. I liked "Digger" a lot and I felt he held his end up just fine.
