Ethical piracy is not watching Tom Cruise movies.

You are just a bunch of PTS’s who are at risk of becoming SP’s for not trying to KSW. /s

If any movie has that Scientology nutcase in them, I won't watch it

[-] Blackadder@lemm.ee 26 points 11 months ago

If you watch a pirated movie, he does not earn a dime off you.

[-] YeetPics@mander.xyz 2 points 11 months ago

Same if you don't watch a pirated movie tho 🤷‍♂️

This is one of those really rare cases where you shouldn’t seed to 1:1.

Why not? He might be an asshole, but he's a damn good actor.

Prpbably the chain of reasoning OP follows:

Watch Movie -> Studio gets Money -> Tom Cruise gets Money -> Tom Cruise donates Scientology Money

I understand why they wouldn't spend money on it, not watching it entirely is then just a more extreme form of this where you also don't contribute to public interest in the movie

I don't even find him to be a good actor, too generic and cookie cutter. Not my cup of tea. I watch movie es to see different characters, not him doing the same thing. He WAS good, but all his more recent stuff is just the same role with a different name.

Whilst all religions have bad actors, Scientology is a masterclass of bad actors. A bad Christian, Jew, Bhuddist etc., is clearly an outlier and doesn't represent a faithfull. Scientolgoy charges fee's to be a ranked member and has BS tech devices. As a whole, Scientology has bad eggs baked in across the board

And followers of other world religions aren't nutcases? Your boycott list must be wrapped around the block.

[-] Fiivemacs@lemmy.ca 1 points 11 months ago

Does it really bother you that I think he's a terrible actor and used religion as another reasoning..

My boycott list is huge though..yeah. Walmart's even on it

TIL people still give enough of a fuck to complain about Tom cruise

[-] Noxvento@lemmy.world 3 points 11 months ago

Yeah had pretty good quality. Watched it yesterday.

This one basically had the same plot as the heist episode of Rick and Morty
