Bullying? It's Tom Cruise, he can wipe his tears with all of his Scientology bullshit.

Ben Affleck is the latest celebrity to stick up for Tom Cruise‘s “Digger” amid its disastrous box office run, but he’s doing so by warning moviegoers what exactly their trashing of the movie will result in. Mainly, publicly bashing “Digger” will only lead the major Hollywood studios to make “shitty” movies that don’t stand out from each other (aka more IP and franchise fare).

Variety is doing it right here again - calling it "Tom Cruise's 'Digger'".

I won't watch this movie because of Tom Cruise. Maybe the lesson Hollywood should take here is that Tom Cruise fucking sucks.

I am interested by the movie as it reminds me of Doctor Strangelove, but man I fucking cannot stand Tom Cruise.

I saw were Kubrick (Strangelove) and Fellini (Casanova) among others. The story is not as it's being portrayed. There are shifts in perspective that would be massive spoilers.
