Did Cruise ever end up building that bunker? ---

You know a $10 Million survival bunker actually sounds pretty cool. ---

Sure, it sounds great - until the ravening hordes of radiation/disease/other riddled survivors find your ventilation outlets and start dropping smoke bombs down them, or just decide to wait you out in a siege, or, if you able to stay in there for years, it gives the outsiders the leisure to burrow in from the outside, basically opening the box with tasty treats inside. ---

I’m with **pool**. I’d like a bunker right about now. Peace and quiet. Bliss. ---

If I had a bunker, I’d outfit it with bunk-beds and have Archie Bunker’s 8x10 hanging next to Wendell Pierce’s. ---

I’d like to join the queue of people saying that if I had Tom Cruise money, damn straight I would be building random cool shit like fully kitted out super secret survival bunkers and secret doors and tunnels in my mansion. What the hell else is all that money for? ---

A ten million bucks bunker twelve years ago would cost twice as much now, but just wait till the upcoming recession cuts in. Bargains await us, even if we must remove the giant Xenu and Romney posters. Grab the Brillo pads. ---
