It's like hoping There Will Be Blood was going to teach you how to drill oil.

it did!

I don't get scientology, I'm looking forward to having this movie spell it out for me.

Read the wikipedia page because this film will not teach you anything about Scientology.

and how do you know?

Too much to read, eh?

just skimming through this, it further proves The Church of Scientology makes as much sense as The Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster. I'm glad P.T isn't taking shit from them and making this film he wants to do.

You're an idiot if you think this film is going to "spell out" scientology. A true bona fide fucking idiot.

Have you never heard of a film having parallels to real life events or characters without being a textbook biography or documentary about the topic? Did you see boogie nights as being an expose about the life of John C Holmes?

If you want to learn about scientology apply a very small amount of effort and do some basic research, you're just severely misguided and will only be disappointed if you think this movie is a play by play analysis of scientology. It just has a main character that shows some parallels.

Have you even seen a PTA film before?

the new yorker had a really good article about paul haggis' ostracization from the church:

This book, coming out early next month, is going to put a bigger dent in scientology than PTA's film:

I like S.R.'s comment about learning how to drill for oil.

Jeremy Blackman

Actually with CMBB, as Pubrick has pointed out, the trouble was that people were half expecting or hoping that it would be a thinly veiled Bush reference.

CMBB actually did offer some real insights into the oil drilling business.

hell yeah it did! and just as I know barely anything about Scientology except that it's members are fucking loopy, I will obviously come out of this film having learned a lot more.

Ordet

this film will show us how cults are born, how powerful they can become and the mind it takes to create massive brainwashing, it's a character study like all pta films. in the end the aim of every cult is the same just with different means of achieving their goal of money, power and control. any cult/religion is a business yet so many people believe that religion and faith are the same thing. faith is personal, you don't need to attend any congregation and give your money to have faith, religion and cults do ask for that. give us your money and we will control you. pta shows us the big picture through intimate character driven films, the story doesn't end with scientology it's so much more and it all starts within. the scenes between psh and jp will be mind-blowing. just think about it, pta is known for bringing out the best in actors plus just the fact that this will be psh first starring role with pta. i think it will be something no one has ever seen in terms of acting. psh performance will be monumental along the lines of ddl in cmbb.

:yabbse-thumbup:

Exactly. It will be about people. Anything you learn about gambling, fucking, drilling oil or Scientology from them is shit you should have already known before you saw them.

You got me mad stoked to see PSH and JP square off. That's going to be epic.

No, this is the analogy: You will learn a lot about a somewhat Scientology-like fictional religion.

Also, What Ordet said.

Wow this article is well done. You can probably make a Scientology based movie about all of its info and Paul Haggis. The Brando and Travolta part was pretty funny. P.T was probably approached to join the church at some time and obviously declined but, found what there doing interesting , and the incident with Jeremy Blake didn't help neither.

QuoteHe staffed the ships with volunteers, many of them teen-agers, who called themselves the Sea Organization. Hubbard and his followers cruised the Mediterranean searching for loot he had stored in previous lifetimes.
