I liked the interviews with Paul Haggis
Especially the part when he finally attains a certain level and is told the secret story about Hubbard's lunatic theories and Haggis says "are you fucking kidding me?". Priceless"I could buy you." - The Village Idiot

I only hope this movie will lead to them losing the tax exempt status

One of the side notes from the movie is that the IRS was a bunch of pussies that probably shouldn't be making the decision on whether a group qualifies or not.
PS - edited to add, but it was an interesting irony that the IRS was getting a taste of it's own medicine in a wayLast edited by slag; 04-05-2015, 05:36 PM.Obscenity is the last refuge of an inarticulate motherfucker.

Yeah, the wife and I watched it last Sunday and we were dumbfounded how anyone could allow themselves to get involved in such a wacked-out ideology. It was almost laughable if it wasn't so scary. I had never seen footage on Hubbard before and damn was that guy a freak show. The way he talked, his phucked-up teeth...uggh.
A longtime online friend told me she has three relatives who were very high up in that crazy cult until they somehow broke away around ten years ago. One of them lectures all over the country telling people what a BS cult it is.
She also said a good friend got involved in it and by the end they had taken her life savings.
In a word...bizarre.
