Resurrecting the Movies thread...

My movie group went to see Salmon Fishing in the Yemen and I was a bit hesitant after seeing a promo on TV but then I thoroughly enjoyed it. I gave it 8. Then I went by myself to see The Five year Engagement because I like Emily Blunt and could not wait for it to finish. I gave it 5.

I've come to see this situation, and to some extent Tom Cruise's life as a whole, as kind of sad. If a world-famous billionaire can be considered sad.
But let's assume he's gay. Despite all of his advantages and power, he is as trapped, in a way, as Ennis: partly by his own internal reservations about what the people on the pavement will think, partly by what the people on the pavement (waiting in line at the box office) may actually think.

The guy has made his fortune already though. So unless he's really insecure and gets his props from what other people think - which is tragic in itself - he has other things that keep him in denial.
I'd say Scientology.
I think they have a 'gay is a choice' attitude, don't they?
I didn't know there were rumors about John Travolta either and now guys are starting to come out of the woodwork with accusations against him. He's also a Scientologist.

I was going to ask that question, too. Sticks in my mind for some reason that Scientology is anti-gay.

I can't recall knowing about rumore about Travolta, either, but if the accusations are true, it's interesting to consider the Scientology connection.
