Fassy's Lassy '13
Tom Cruise and Steven Spielberg decided it was time to make another movie together. They had done so in the past and it had been a rather successful endeavor. Besides, they had been good friends for many years and were looking forward to working together again. In the first few weeks of their collaboration things were going just fine. But then Tom Cruise met Katie Holmes and things slowly started falling apart.The press is very interested in Katie Holmes and her relationship with Tom Cruise and they ask lots of questions. It threatens to overshadow the publicity tour Tom Cruise and Steven Spielberg are on, to promote their new movie. Steven Spielberg asks Tom Cruise if he could perhaps lead the journalists away from their line of questioning. But Tom Cruise tells him he's so in love he can hardly think about anything else himself anymore. Steven Spielberg sighs and asks Tom Cruise if he can at least try and leaves it at that. For the moment.But, there's something else that's troubling Steven Spielberg. On the set he has noticed Tom Cruise, more than previously, is adamant in spreading the word of, let's call them his friends of the church of strong believers.As matter of fact, Tom Cruise, on more than one occasion tries to convince Steven Spielberg that his friends could become Steven Spielberg's friends and advises him to give it a try. But, Steven Spielberg, kindly, yet firmly tells Tom Cruise it's not his cup of tea.This does not stop Tom Cruise from trying repeatedly to convince Steven Spielberg he is wrong. This goes on until the exasperated and annoyed Steven Spielberg explodes and tells Tom Cruise to keep this madness away from him. Tom Cruise, in utter disbelief over this outburst, states that the amount of stress Steven Spielberg obviously is under should be enough to make him reconsider. He also suggests Steven Spielberg could use some help in anger management and that his friends of the church of strong believers are just the kind of people who could help him with this. Steven Spielberg now urges Tom Cruise to not bring this subject up ever again.Spielberg's helpers begin to notice Steven Spielberg appears to be avoiding Tom Cruise wherever and whenever he can. They also notice that the arguments between Tom Cruise and Steven Spielberg are becoming more frequent and uglier of nature whenever they simply cannot avoid each other. At this point MrsAssistant Moviemaker steps in and desperately tries to keep the peace between Tom Cruise and Steven Spielberg.Kate Capshaw arrives on the set one day and invites Katie Holmes for lunch. Katie Holmes hesitates. She doesn't think Tom Cruise is gonna be very happy with her taking off like that, without letting Tom Cruise know where she's going. Since she cannot locate Tom Cruise she's about to decline Kate Capshaw's invitation. But. Steven Spielberg assures her he thinks it's fine with Tom Cruise. Certainly he knows Katie Holmes is in good hands and wants her to have a good time? After these words Katie Holmes decides to accept Kate Capshaw's invitation.Now Tom Cruise arrives and asks Steven Spielberg if he knows where Katie is. Steven Spielberg answers she just left for lunch with Kate Capshaw. Tom Cruise wants to know where and Steven Spielberg replies he doesn't have a clue. Tom Cruise frowns and asks Steven Spielberg if that doesn't bother him. Initially thinking this is a joke, Steven Spielberg laughs it away by replying that if he would want to keep tabs on Kate Capshaw's agenda he would have a full daytime job and wouldn't be able to make movies anymore. Steven Spielberg, however, is stunned, when Tom Cruise advises him that maybe it would be better to ask Kate Capshaw to at least let him know where she is and what she is doing, especially when she takes Katie Holmes with her. Steven Spielberg now visibly starts losing patience with Tom Cruise and tells him he can treat Katie Holmes however he seems fit, no matter how Steven Spielberg and other may think about it, but that Tom Cruise better not start telling him how to treat Kate Capshaw.Later that day Kate Capshaw has a little chat with Tom Cruise and says she's sorry he got upset she took Katie Holmes with her. Tom Cruise says it's okay, he and Katie Holmes talked things over and that she's promised him it won't happen again. Kate Capshaw smiles politely, says she's happy to hear this and appears to be leaving, but Tom asks if he could have a word with her. He then asks Kate Capshaw doesn't she think it wise she would let Steven Spielberg know what her agenda of the day is? Kate Capshaw starts laughing and tells Tom Cruise he should know Steven Spielberg is a busy man. If she were to call him to inform him what she's doing at the moment, she would have to call him ten times a day and Steven Spielberg would not appreciate that. Tom Cruise replies that that just might be the problem. He says he knows Kate Capshaw is fulfilling most of her obligations towards Steven Spielberg and their children but, wouldn't it be better if she would find more activities in and around their home?Kate Capshaw blinks in astonishment but manages to remain polite. She tells Tom Cruise she does not know what kind of arrangement he has with Katie Holmes, but that it definitely sounds very different from the way Kate Capshaw and Steven Spielberg treat and respect each other. She tells Tom Cruise that Steven Spielberg does not want Kate Capshaw to be sitting around the house all day, but wants her to do the things she considers meaningful and important. He wants this because it's important to him Kate Capshaw is happy. She then asks Tom Cruise what makes him think he has the right to intrude on the way of living of Steven Spielberg and Kate Capshaw.Tom Cruise replies he is worried. Some of his friends of the church of strong believers have told him they have big problems with some of the projects Kate Capshaw is supporting. Tom Cruise goes on the say he's worried this might have a negative impact on Steven Spielberg's reputation and standing. Before Kate Capshaw can reply, Steven Spielberg shows himself and there is no doubt he has overheard at least a big portion of their conversation. As Steven Spielberg slowly makes his way over to Tom Cruise, several Spielberg helpers run for cover.Steven Spielberg tells Tom Cruise he would appreciate it if he would stop harassing Kate Capshaw and that if he ever catches him doing it again, Tom Cruise will have a bigger problem than he can handle.Tom Cruise appears crestfallen and says he was only trying to help. Steven Spielberg loses his temper and snaps he does not want or need Tom Cruise's help. Now Kate Capshaw moves herself in between Steven Spielberg and Tom Cruise and starts pushing Steven Spielberg towards to exit.The minute Steven Spielberg and Kate Capshaw have left, Spielberg's helpers stand gaping at Tom Cruise for a long time before they start disappearing as well.

Tom Cruise is obviously a great dad." How exactly do we know any of that? He puts on a good front, but there is absolutely zero way to know what kind of father he is behind the scenes. That's not to say he's awful either, we just don't know. But there is enough said about Scientology to (in my mind) give a parent some merit in trying to get their child away from it. Unfortunately, people often have children with people about whom they only later learn the full truth.

There were times when they'd hold each other's hands and it looked like they were equals, walking at the same pace, with each other. Then there were the times when it was Tom holding Katie's hand and pulling her, with him in the lead and Katie being guided, like he was "master" holding onto the lowly hand of who he ruled over. That always creeped me out. Body language can speak a lot louder than words sometimes and on those times, it always looked like Katie had gotten in trouble or did something wrong and needed to be controlled and reigned in by Tom, taking the lead/control.

Because, seriously, DO tell. If she's going extreme, that's because it's the only way to do it. You just can't quietly slip away from Scientology and say, "I'm out." They don't like that. I don't believe she'll have regrets other than the fact that she might wish things had been different. (as in no crazy cult involved to steal her daughter and brainwash her against her own mother) She could very well want her to see her father but be scared to death she'll never see her again.
