Tom Cruise has made it his personal mission to make any thrilling action scene look possible, by doing it all himself. And in the fifth installment of Mission: Impossible, the 52-year-old actor wasn't going to let someone else step in when he went 5,000ft above the British countryside for his latest incredible movie stunt. The Hollywood actor surpassed himself when he put himself in grave danger, hanging from the side of an Airbus A400M in a full tailored suit in character as Ethan Hunt, while the aircraft flew over the UK.

Since I seem to have run out of dislikes...
There is little in this world so boorish as the militant atheism of pseudo-intellectuals who try to boil complex philosophy down to quaint soundbytes in vain efforts to publicly fluff their own egos.
I don't care that Tom is a Scientologist (I cannot fathom how he lost Nicole after she bought him a mustang, though).
I don't care that you are an Atheist - until you start in with your unprovoked (but predictable) insults.
You needn't care that I am Catholic - especially not to the point of providing unsolicited denunciation of all religion as a cult.

STOP!
BT goes from a thread of camaraderie with the gifts to the Jeff's to offending others because you like to. Everyone has a right to their opinion and I admire people who know when to express it and when to keep it to themselves...self control. I'm a Christian and wasn't offended but my first thoughts was why. Why provoke? Why do people jab and poke at others for fun? I have my opinions on Scientology, but it is still really awesome that Tom does his own stunts and makes very entertaining movies.
Now...back to topic...nice stunt Tom Cruise.

Now...back to topic...nice stunt Tom Cruise. You say "stop" but then you keep going? It's OK to poke Scientology but not Christianity? I didn't start this. Adam did.
