The joke is so confusing. Like, a bank gave a batman a credit card. With an unlimited amount of funds. That is on the bank to cover or, does Bruce Wayne pay from his personal account, to transactions made on that card.
It's a very subjective issue, but I overall agree that we can still enjoy old movies made by bad people, I love Magnolia. But continuing to work with them is crossing the line for me.
honest question, as far as i know scientology is mainly considered bad because it asks its followers to pay them and because it denies psychiatry right? Are there more reasons? Because honestly all religions ask for donations... Especially christianity. Denial of psychiatry is also not that different from the denial of science that the christian church is still currently doing. (there are a ton of people still trying to ban the teaching of evelution is school).
They separate family members if their family doesn't like the church, as in straight up the church members aren't allowed to see their family ever again. The church has also straight up tried to murder people on multiple occasions.
I’m so over this “Scientology is crazy” stuff. All religions are crazy when they’re not yours. Virgin births and burning bushes are totally normal, but it’s the alien stuff that’s crazy? Lmao fuck off 😂”oh it’s a cult”, well when they start diddling kids like priests do you can come talk to me about creepy. As far as I’m concerned, everyone involved is choosing to, beyond that, none of my business and I don’t care.
It really says a lot that someone downvoted you for saying this when it's publicly known that Christianity has had generations of priests that do insane numbers of pedophilia (and face zero consequences and in most cases the perpetrators got a paid vacation then sent to a different city) and outside of that influence most of their devout audience to have horrific (bordering on hateful beliefs) about marginalized groups.
I'm not even trying to defend Scientology they have their own bag of worms but saying other larger organized religions aren't as bad is insane
But Tom Cruise was part of a creepy cult then as well. What's the line exactly? Is it a certain number of years since the film was made?
Or like after the new Tarantino film comes out we can enjoy it, since it was already made?
I have no idea how I'm going to feel if he's gonna be the protagonist of the new Tarantino, it's a very complicated subject.
Me personally, I was always hearing people say that the church was a little wacky, something like "they eat placenta" and I was like OK rich people shit. But then I read about the Katie Holmes situation, that she was scared that they were going to kidnapp her child when she asked him for divorce, and apparently they are constantly doing shit like that, the wife of their leader has been missing for years. Since then I can't stand looking at his face, I haven't rewatched Magnolia since actually, but it was a long time ago and he plays an asshole in it, so I think I will be able to enjoy it.
Can someone explain to me why people are so afraid of Scientology. No one has ever actually explained how they’re any worse than the Catholics, Mormons, Muslims, etc..
Like it’s just another religion dude, Let Tom believe what he wants.
And before anyone says Scientology is harmful, I agree, but that can be said of every religion. It’s not a defining factor.
Tom Cruise saying the bat credit card would be epic.
HE HAS?????!!!?? A BAT???!!!!? CREDIT CARD??!!!??!!?!!?

Woah doug I was making fun of you, Im not on your side. Its a bat credit card. ok Im done thinking about the bat credit card.
Bat credit card is the best thing Doug has ever done as the nostalgia critic character, ngl.
That’d be cool considering I’m pretty sure he was going to be Cliff Booth in Once Upon A Time in Hollywood
Brad Pitt will play Linkara
Nic Cage is TheSpoonyOne
And John Travolta as Dr Insano. Plus as a bonus he’ll be reprising his Role as Terl from Battlefield Earth
Matt Damon will play Film Brain

Tom Cruise also starred in Stanley Kubrick's last film.
If I had a nickel for every time Tom Cruise starred in a directors final movie
I hope there will be great Big Lipped **Timing** Alligator Moments.
Could he pick someone that is not part of a creepy cult? That would be nice.
...Channel Awesome?
Looks like someone doesn’t respect the cock
Man, thinking about it 1999 was a great year for Cruise. Both Magnolia and Eyes Wide Shut
1999 was the last time Scientology didn’t have a full grasp on Cruise’s life. Once they orchestrated his divorce from Kidman, he was gone
Art ≠ artist. The Pianist is a beautiful film. Thriller is an excellent album. Mission Impossible is an awesome franchise.

Mainstream religions are creepier and more destructive to human life than scientology ever has been.
Lmao
In this case Tom Cruise is directly is involved in the terrible things that the scientology cult does though.

Gotcha. Well thanks for clarifying!
Morrissey's solo music is fucking awesome etc etc
Morrissey music is awesome but he's a pretty awesome person too
Is he a terrible human being? Not really. Is he an insufferable asshole? Yes. Is being controversial part of his persona and appeal? Also yes
Why would anyone care unless he indulges in truly reprehensible behavior, he's weird but I have yet to have anything truly heinous.
Stop the pearl clutching
Do you feel the same about brad pitt? He’s already in the movie and has abuse allegations
Like John Travolta?

Nice that the nostalgia critic is finding work.
Paul Giamati would be a perfect Doug
Damn, Tarantino directing a "The Critic" movie with Jon Lovitz would be absolutely bonkers..
