The Master
The Master is a new movie that looks like it is about the beginnings of Scientology disguised as fictional. The Village Voice runs through all the great similarities between clips in the second trailer and actual Scientology questions for new victims. The movie is directed by Paul Thomas Anderson and supposedly he showed it to his very good friend Tom Cruise who had issues with it. I like anything that Tom Cruise had issues with, but I also wonder if his very good friend Paul changed so Tom would be happy. If it was the worst film ever towards Scientology then you would think they would be campaigning hard against it. It does have Amy Adams and Joaquin Phoenix and also Phillip Seymour Hoffman as an L. Ron Hubbard doppelganger.
The fall and exposing of Scientology would be amazing
ReplyDeleteI wish this cult wld self destruct. Soon.
ReplyDeleteJeremy Renner was supposed to star as Joaquin Phoenix's character, but he dropped out after Ghost Protocol.
ReplyDeleteHuh.
Anything that shits on that cult is fine with me.
And every famous person in it wld say," wow, I was such an asshole!! How ckd I hv been so stupid?". C'mon!! Would u not LOVE that???!!!
ReplyDeleteOr, better yet, pack up their shit and move to ghana, and wait for the kool aid.
DeleteThe other trailer gave me chills. I want to see this but might not - PTA movies can be a serious downer. I don't mind movies that break the "happy ending" mold, but I'd prefer not to want to shoot myself in the head when I'm done watching (not a PTA joint, but Melancholia did such a number on me.)
ReplyDeleteEm, at least it's not Wes fucking Anderson. Can NOT stand his quirky for the sake of being quirky bullshit. If he and Zooey Deschanel ever make a movie together, that much forced quirkiness would make the world explode.
ReplyDeleteHow is PTA a good friend of Tammy, but NOT a Co$ member? If he is, watch a pirate copy of the movie and don't give them money.
ReplyDeleteIf CO$ is not actively campaigning against it, then it's not worth seeing. Tho' I am intrigued by the concept.
ReplyDeleteI think this looks good and it's nice to see Joaquin actually acting again.
ReplyDeleteHa! Vicki, you're right. That would be too too tooooo much. My mouth feels like I ate a lemon just thinking about it.
ReplyDeleteThe Facebook page for the movie just went on line recently. I am waiting for the CO$ folks to begin. Nothing much on it except a few comments but it might be worth getting familiar with.
ReplyDeleteLoved the trailers and the Village Voice coverage

The Acting looks wonderful. I am glad the actors are finnally good parts.
ReplyDeleteThis movie looks really good and Phillip Seymour Hoffman is beyond amazing as an actor but I just can't see Joaquin without thinking how icky and Lannistery he is.
ReplyDelete@rejectedcarebear
ReplyDelete"Lannistery" very funny:)
I cant wait to hear lisa marie go off about the church of sci the recent blind about the young actress being used as a sex slave and controlled was so chilling. Joaquin knows about cults. They are just an excuse to get money and take advantage of the powerless sexually. Women. Girls. Boys. Homosexuality. Black mail. Brainwashing. Whos behind this sickness? Tom cruises boyfriend. The leader of the church. Hes Another short toxed control freak with a fake tan and bouffant.
ReplyDelete@Vicki Cupper - it would probably trigger the apocalypse.
ReplyDeleteRegarding COS - What happen to the John T. stories, all of a sudden they stopped??? Also what was the count of men coming out they were assaulted?
ReplyDeleteThe video link is bad. :-(

Great now we need a movie that expose Christians
ReplyDelete"Lannistery" lmao. nice reference.
ReplyDelete'Life of Brian" nicely covered Christians.
ReplyDeleteAs an aside, Michael Palin's journal entries from when the Pythons were writing Life of Brian make for fascinating reading. They were painstaking to avoid seeming to spoof Jesus.
ReplyDeleteThanks, I really enjoy Michael Palin and will follow up on that.
ReplyDeleteJoaquin is so skinny, eww. Why did men have to jump on the skin and bones bandwagon.
ReplyDelete@Anotheramy - word, sister. I wouldn't even know what to do with a skinny man.
