The Others
10/29 '25
We borrowed this movie from the library and I remarked that Nicole Kidman was still married to Executive Producer Tom Cruise when it was being made.
B: "What? This movie isn't that old!"
Me: "Yep, it was released in 2001."
B: "What?!?"
Me: [spooky finger waving] "Wooooooooo!"

I remember when that movie came out, and how Entertainment Tonight interviewed Tom Cruise on the red carpet about how talented Kidman is. I think they’d just gotten divorced, but it was to his benefit for the movie to make money, so the conversation was a masterclass in text and subtext.
Oh man. Just based on that comment, I may have to see if I can dig that up on YouTube...
I hope I remember it correctly!

Seems about right. Tom Cruise could say “monkey cold banana copter, over aloe ingeborg humperdink,” and make it compelling, though.
