Ice Bucket Challenge

Donation0 Comments

Cruise and McQuarrie join the fight against ALS by enduring the Ice Bucket Challenge to raise money for ALS research.  They were nominated by Hugh Jackman and since many of the cast members were not there, they also take on their challenges so as to not miss the 24 hour deadline. As a result they are doused with eight buckets of ice water. Cruise:

Chris and I are also making donations on behalf of our cast and crew that were lucky enough not to be here tonight.

foley-stillFoley is beheaded by ISIS in a video posted online and titled A Message to America. Foley addresses the camera before his death, leaving a message for his brother, John, who serves in the US Air Force:

I died that day, John, when your colleagues dropped that bomb on these people. They signed my death certificate.

Foley recites a long list of anti-American statements, and ends his speech with:

I wish I had more time, I wish I could have the hope of freedom and see my family once again, but that ship has sailed. I guess all in all, I wish I wasn’t American.

There is a member of the Islami State shown standing over Foley:

Any attempt by you, Obama, to deny Muslims liberty & safety under the Islamic caliphate, will result in the bloodshed of your people.

Foley is then beheaded, and his head is placed on top of his body.
