Cripes, and after I posted that essentially testimonial YouTube from Jimmy Kimmel Live regarding Tom’s genuine caring character for others on the last page. Anyway, first off, I think there’s some embellishment going on there as to exactly who said what and who has the power to give orders to who.

Secondly, for perspective, the terms and conditions (IMO, minor inconveniences) for the shoot were agreed upon beforehand by Paramount Pictures and the Navy. So, indirectly, these sailors (if verified) are questioning the judgement of their superior officers, not just TC.

Meanwhile, since opinions vary about many things in life, I’ll speak with a source in the Navy and see if he/she can provide me with a sample of some input from a verified sailor on the ship at the time these social media complaints were posted, but not included on that anti-scientology site (for the record I have 0 to do with scientology) that curated those several postings which I guess originated on facebook.

For the record, as regular readers will recall, on 02-02-2019, long before there was any reporting in social media of the next filming location being on the USS Theodore Roosevelt, this heads-up hint was a cropped view of the 7 in 71 as in CVN-71 (the USS Theodore Roosevelt) on the ship itself - https://forum.blu-ray.com/showthread...t#post16043346

On a much needed lighter note (after reading the whining about TC), attention Agent Kay and Geoff D, you guys over there are corrupting our youth -

received a quick reply

Additionally ^ Steed , recall this exclusive heads-up from August 23, 2019 regarding an upcoming (at the time) filming location - https://forum.blu-ray.com/showthread...e#post15446571

then several weeks later, dateline - SEPTEMBER 19, 2018 11:15 PM https://www.fresnobee.com/news/local...218711350.html

so, no complaints out of Lemoore, but rather - “What was it like when Cruise wasn’t shooting footage but just lounging around at the base? “He was walking around, giving people high-fives,” Perez said, “and saying hi to the guys that work the tower and other departments.” And quoting a post on the respective facebook page that covered the shoot from – Lyn Quilty Carr “My son was out there and talked with Cruise for several minutes, said he seemed like a real nice guy.”

Current day – Perhaps TC’s much busier while on this carrier movie set location and trying to stay focused. Much to do in limited time without any distraction.

All I know is I have always got top value for money from TC. He seems to have high standards for himself every time he signs up for a new movie and I respect the heck out of that. He just wants to give the best he can I think.

Thanks for the posts by the way.

The quick to judge online haters - https://twitter.com/search?f=tweets&...pgun2&src=typd

apparently have yet to catch up with the latest reporting since it was revised several minutes ago to include among other accurate facts....“Navy escorts who accompanied Cruise during the shoot said, "At no time did Tom Cruise say to a sailor, do not look at me, do not touch me.”

[LordoftheRings]

Then all those Navy sailors are a bunch of story fabricators and Tom Cruise is the perfect gentleman to all these young women.

Alright all is back to cool now, according to Navy officials.
@ https://www.nbcsandiego.com/news/loc...505966161.html

Of course, if I was a Navy official everything has to be cool.
I don't want any problem on my ship, Tom Cruise or not, and certainly not from my Navy personnel onboard and tweeting on Twitter and Facebook from their laptops and tablets and cell phones.
I'd like to see my men posing for selfies with Tom and share to all the good times and camaraderie between my men, the film crew, and the actors, Tom included.
It creates a better ambiance and the contributions provide a better experience in making the best film. We have the best food on board, for both meat eaters and vegetarians. Our chefs are top cuisine cooks from France and Italy and America and Canada...la meilleure cuisine do monde, just ask Tom.

All fixed now, from NBC channel 7, San Diego, USA.

Those Navy sailors were simply telling all baloney stuff.

"23 hours ago · Tom Cruise and Paramount crew are aboard USS Theodore Roosevelt (CVN-71) aircraft carrier in San ... What we didn't know is that members of the US Navy are reportedly slamming Cruise for alleged ..."

Religious views aside, indeed -
https://www.quora.com/Is-Tom-Cruise-a-really-nice-guy

And back in the day I was relayed this story (3rd paragraph down) directly by a nurse from thee ER dept. (regarding what TC did for a hit-and-run victim on Wilshire, namely his following the ambulance to UCLA Med Ctr, then offering to pay her hospital bills due to her lack of insurance, etc.) - https://people.com/archive/the-insider-vol-45-no-12/

And, no matter what is posted recently on blogs and social media, some folks have not forgotten that act of kindness afforded a total stranger by TC, since few would have taken the time and effort to do so once the ambulance, he had asked heralded showed up on scene, as that act reflected the core character of the individual.

Anyway, despite the recent misguided online nastiness precipitated by a couple sailors upon reacting to the Navy’s guidance regarding the situation involving the current filming, like aviation boatswain's mate ren above pictured with Miles Teller (rather than typically on the flight deck with others), the fact is the overwhelming majority of sailors on CVN-71 did not overreact – https://www.instagram.com/p/BuAaNC9FvQ9/.

b.t.w., I recall you asked about if it snows in San Diego a couple pages back…. for that, you’ve got to go about 60 miles east to up thar in dem mountains….https://hdontap.com/index.php/video/...istoric-julian

Penton, it's just amazing everything we can read on the Internet nowadays.
Just look @ FOX news for example, even CNN news, Twitter, Facebook, just look @ Instagram for all the beauty queens.

I don't believe one drop of all what I'm reading. They all fight for money, for skin, for a spotlight.
I'd rather watch movies and share my favorite ones to win @ the Oscars a week exactly from now.
And contribute in the HDR thread here @ Blu-ray forum dot com.

How reliable is FOX channel news, Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, CNN, ...?

Is Making a Murderer documentary a scam? Are Steven Avery and Brendan Dassey guilty?
Did you watch The Staircase documentary on Netflix?
Did you see Free Solo @ IMAX in San Diego?
Did you watch Roma on Netflix?
Did you rent Cold War? It's on Blu-ray too from the UK.

There's always more snow up the mountains, even in the San Diego surroundings.

0I just saw Alita in IMAX 3D. The sound system was great and the 3D was very well done. I hope this movie is released in 3D in the US.
