He wasn’t yelling at them to wear masks. He was yelling at them for a lapse in judgement where two crew members stood to close to one another. He really should delegate social distancing enforcement to health and safety experts who can handle these lapses professionally, freeing him up to think about his big brain…

Pretty much this. I have had to yell at coworkers for ignoring basic covid protocols. I am tired of having to remind people that they must wear a mask in common areas and that "but I just needed one thing" isn't an excuse. At the same time, I will keep telling people to go get their mask every time because I know they…

I think the Sun article said the five quit because of the second screaming fit, which was over the first rant being leaked. Cruise has always struck me as someone who is obsessed with looking like the good guy/hero, and that meltdown just showed an unhinged asshole. I agree, the COVID protocols must be followed if the…

Also, let’s rip into him for being short like 7 times in the piece to completely insult him, even though he’s doing something cool here. I’m not a Cruise fan - but what??

Agreed 100%. I'm mostly hate-reading at this point, because I haven't found another "feminist website" yet. 

Not a big cruise fan, but he's exec producer so he does call the shots. And he's right. Not subtle, but right. 

This place has so gone to shit, I can’t believe it’s the same site I read with Dodai, Lindy, Erin Gloria, etc. back in the day. Every writer now has to have the worst take, the edgy, bitchy take, the contrarian-14-year-old take. Between that and graying anyone who looks at them sideways, I’m just about done with this…

Exactly. It’s refreshing to see a gajillionaire movie star’s rant to not be caused by ego, but by a desire to keep food on the table for the grip, the boom guy, the effects person.

Yeah, maybe it’s just because I’m surrounded by so many people who don’t take the pandemic seriously, but I appreciated his rant.

I fully approve of this Cruise rant—he’s not just talking about MI movies, he’s talking about this film setting an example that movies can be made in the time of COVID without being superspreaders IF AND ONLY IF the crew follows the safety protocols in place. It matters, he’s right to lose his shit.

He’s the Exec Producer on those films, so he’s legit the big boss on set, and not just as an actor.

Are you fucking kidding with this garbage Tom Cruise take? Look, the guy is a fucking corny weirdo, but considering how many rich ASSHOLES we’ve seen just pretending COVID is not a thing so that their precious little lives don’t get the least bit interrupted, it’s fucking REFRESHING to see a celeb take it seriously.…

Tom Cruise sucks but also I appreciate that he’s taking this seriously.

I hope he’s biden (sorry) his time until the Georgia Senate run-off. Blasting the party you may need to work with on compromises during your term could backfire.

With AC/DC, I don’t really like to listen to them post-Bon Scott period (Back in Black and For Those About to Rock, We Salute You being the exceptions). Nothing against Brian Johnson, he’s been a great singer, but I like the rougher and dirtier sound of Scott-era AC/DC. However, I’ve heard so many good things about…

Bless you Smokey. 

That was so sweet of Smokey Robinson.

Turd face.

Likewise, good sir (or madam).

Funny how the veteran FDNY paramedic got to remain anonymous in the article. Good for him.
