How do you discuss Tom Cruise and Scientology without mentioning Katie Holmes? And nothing about Miscavige's wife, which only adds to his inherent creepiness? Maybe it should've been a two or three-part miniseries, or maybe Gibney just works too much and too quickly.Markhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05067504092969936552noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5267646817514530908.post-70186249540085917872015-04-05T09:22:21.746-04:002015-04-05T09:22:21.746-04:00Something else interesting that I'm surprised ...Something else interesting that I'm surprised wasn't touched on in discussion of EYES WIDE SHUT: Vivian Kubrick is a Scientologist. Perhaps there isn't evidence documenting her involvement in the Cruise-Kidman problems during production of Stanley's film, but I find it hard to believe that, with Scientology's far-reaching and dictatorial tactics with its members, they wouldn't have asked Vivian to be a part of reporting back to Miscavige about the couple's activities overseas. Then again, apparently Vivian left the project to flee to California. The Scientology story is one that lends itself to many imaginative conspiracy theories which, frankly, could all very well be true.Caseyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18195073158983528498noreply@blogger.com
