Apparently unrelated to her divorce-- from an interview with GQ:

In this moment, I say, it is impossible not to think of a particular Nicole Kidman meme (of which there are many): she’s probably in her early 30s, and she’s standing on the pavement in a pink top, basking in the sunlight, her eyes closed, her arms out, her mouth open as if she’s letting out a deep sigh of relief. Does she know the one I’m talking about?

“Yes,” she says. “That was not me; that was from a film, that wasn’t real life. I know that image!”

The story that goes with this meme whenever it circulates is that Kidman had just left her lawyer’s office after the dissolution of her first marriage. “That’s not true,” she laughs.

"a film".

Wouldn't it be trivially easy to confirm what film it is from the setting? It's not like she starred in 7563 movies...

[–] [email protected] 34 points 5 days ago

Not everything shot for a film gets used. The director might say, "let's reshoot the scene with wardrobe B" and then you have a new take with a different outfit.

Simple scenes like that often take a few days of work to dial in just right. Or sometimes it's done with a single take and everyone feels vaguely off about it until they see the edit.

But that would require watching movies with Nicole Kidman in them

[–] [email protected] 8 points 5 days ago (3 children)

Start with Dogville if you really don't like her.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 5 days ago (1 children)

It’s rare that reading the wiki page for a movie does psychic damage and makes me want to see it

[–] [email protected] 6 points 5 days ago

Then it accurately represents von Trier's movie style.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 5 days ago

That's... Pretty fucked up to suggest in that context.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 5 days ago

I liked that movie and her in it but it needed to be like an hour shorter... 3 hours felt overly indulgent.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 5 days ago

Thanks for making me laugh like an idiot in public

[–] [email protected] 103 points 6 days ago (4 children)

Obligatory, fuck Tom Cruise.

"They're the same image"

[–] [email protected] 13 points 5 days ago (1 children)

That's what she said, for a while.

[–] lost_faith 2 points 5 days ago

And then 1 final time

[–] [email protected] 9 points 5 days ago

That's the weird Scientology guy, right?

[–] [email protected] 8 points 6 days ago (2 children)
[–] [email protected] 48 points 5 days ago (5 children)

Other people have already mentioned scientology, so I'll add this.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Why are the years in feet?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 5 days ago (1 children)

It probably annotates abbreviation of the full year 1985 1986 1987, etc, so people don't get confused and think Tom Cruise was 87 when he married Mimi Rogers.

I can't say if it's a good or bad annotation, but theres a possible explanation.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 5 days ago (2 children)

But don’t you put that on the left, to replace the “19” or “20”?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 5 days ago (1 children)

yeah whomever made this just put them on the wrong side

[–] [email protected] 3 points 5 days ago (4 children)

Just to be pedantic, you should use “whoever” there, not “whomever.”

To tell whether to use “who” or “whom,” replace it with “he” or “him” and follow the ‘m.’

“he made this” vs “him made this”

[–] [email protected] 3 points 5 days ago

Omg thank you for this!!! I never understood when whom would ever be used!!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Can I get an example for whomever please? My brain is slow today but like learning new grammar tips.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago) (1 children)

Sure!

“If I’m asked, I’ll give grammar tips to whomever.”

Whomever is tough, because often this would be constructed as “I’ll give grammar tips to whoever asks.” And you would use “who” there, because “whoever” is the subject of the clause “whoever asks.”

Generally speaking, it’s usually safe to pick “whoever” over “whomever.”

But if you drop the “-ever” it’s a lot easier. Anywhere you’d use “him” (that is, the objective pronoun), you use “whom.” To whom, for whom, by whom, etc.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 days ago

Thanks. This is amazing and just what I needed to understand the differences. Appreciate you taking the time.

It's been said a woman's eyes don't fully open until she turns 33

[–] [email protected] 4 points 5 days ago

You're thinking of kittens and puppies and it's usually like a couple of weeks.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 5 days ago

I went down a rabbit hole on this one. I think the age may be irrelevant, or only correlated with children. At least Kidman and Holmes left him over Scientology. They were trying to avoid having their kids indoctrinated. That worked for Holmes, backfired on Kidman. It might have worked for Holmes because it backfired on Kidman. https://www.mercurynews.com/2024/06/28/after-tom-cruise-once-denied-abandoning-suri-she-seems-to-get-the-last-word/

Does Leonardo get the same hate?

[–] [email protected] 31 points 5 days ago

yes frequently

[–] [email protected] 11 points 5 days ago

Leonardo DiCaprio? I don't know much about him. If you mean the young girlfriend/partners, those are transactional relationships. He gets arm candy and they get access to high level producers and directors at parties. I feel like it's much more honest and safe that they aren't married to him.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 5 days ago

Yes he does haha

[–] [email protected] 22 points 5 days ago

Yeah and work with the US military to make movies that advertise for them.

[–] [email protected] 42 points 5 days ago (3 children)

Tom Cruise and Elon Musk have the same energy.

[–] [email protected] 38 points 5 days ago (2 children)

At least cruise learned to shut the fuck up and stay in his lane

[–] [email protected] 13 points 5 days ago

He learned to live life secure in the knowledge that he can have his enemies killed without destroying democracy.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Did he, tho? Seems like he's continuing to be a strong vector for Scientology in Hollywood to this day.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 5 days ago

Haven't heard a peep about him and scientology since scary movie clowned on him in like 2006

[–] [email protected] 19 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Fun fact, Christian Bale based his portrayal of Patrick Bateman in American Psycho on Tom Cruise.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 5 days ago

You're right. That IS a fun fact.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 5 days ago

I'd look like that too if i went from stupit rich to mega stupid rich
