Tom Cruise building a bunker to protect family from alien attack.
Wow. If you didn't think he was a nutjob before, this oughta do it.

Hollywood star Tom Cruise is planning to build a bunker at his Colorado home to protect his family in the event of an intergalactic alien attack, according to new reports.

The Mission Impossible actor, who is a dedicated follower of Scientology, is reportedly fearful that deposed galactic ruler 'Xenu' is plotting an evil revenge attack on Earth.

Bunker down: Tom Cruise, on set of his latest movie with wife Katie and daughter Suri, is reportely fearful of an alien attack


According to American magazine Star, a source said: "Tom is planning to build a US$10 million bunker under his Telluride estate."

"It's a self-contained underground shelter with a high tech air purifying shelter."

The facility is said to have enough room for ten people - including wife Katie Holmes, 17-month-old daughter Suri and his adopted children Isabella, 14, and Connor, 12.

1. WTF?
you mean you don't have an underground bunker to protect yourself from intergalactic alien invasion?

when Xenu comes, you'll be sorry you scoffed.

4. MEDS???? Are you kidding?????
:rofl: This is the guy who gave Brooke Shields total hell for taking meds for postpartum depression. He'd never take them voluntarily. Somebody just needs to slip him a mickey and shut him the FUCK up (at least for a little while). :rofl:

8. Tommy has a pretty low opinion of aliens, it appears.
Dude, they're aliens. You honestly think that intergalactic terrorists are going to be stopped by your little underground lair? Did you even WATCH "War of the Worlds" (you know, that flick you starred in)?

Kronos: "But we're bent on Earthen domination!"
Krag: "Sorry, Tommy Cruise has an air filtration system. Never mind." *kicks rock, shoves all 8 hands in pockets*

The Death Star? Helllllooooooo???

10. Okay. So let me get this straight. An evil race coming across a million light yrs of Space...

Is going to be thwarted by a couple feet of concrete?

OK, Tom. Whatever you say.

11. So what's the point of being a Scientologist?
If it can't protect you from the wrath of Xenu. Shit, I'd want my money back. x(

15. Not that I mind him building a bunker...
Hell, if I had his money I wouldn't mind having one myself. A farm in South Dakota with a good water source. Stock it full of food, tools, and books to survive and hopefully be able to resurrect civilization faster. A couple of laptops and a shitload of information stored on high-capacity jump drives. Information about history, art, science, engineering, works of literature, entertainment, etc. All kinds of knowledge that typically would be lost when civilization collapses.

Have all-electric appliances in there, including heat and hot water. Reverse-osmosis filtered water supply with UV sterilization. Long-lasting LED lighting. Power it with solar cells, a wind turbine, and as a final backup a Stirling-cycle engine tied to a generator.

But it's not going to be because aliens are coming. It's going to be because of the neocon destruction of the world economy and the subsequent collapse of civilization.

22. Room for 10 people? Hmmm, I might get invited
All in all, I'd rather be turned into food or incubator for aliens, than have to stay in a bunker with Tom Cruise.

Someone said it earlier: Bat ... shit ... crazy.
