You never know if a girl's gonna say 'yes', or if she's gonna laugh in your face and pull out your still-beating heart and crush it into the ground with her heel.

Buffista Movies 4: Straight to Video  

A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

TC has said numerous times that he refused to be on any medication for anything, ever.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

I think the recent public craziness is due to the fact that he fired his publicist and replaced her with his crazy, Scientologist sister. Old publicist probably made him keep that kind of thing under wraps, "Tommy, love, this interview is about your new movie. Keep it professional and you'll do great."

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

What's the Scientology position on homosexuality? Is it caused by gay Thetans?

Though Scientology does consider homosexual practices to be the expression of a distorted sexuality, it does not have strong edicts about it. It assumes that one would regain a more normal sexuality has he gains more spiritual freedom through Scientology. If not, however, it does not make it a matter of banning. Scientology critics, however, use Hubbard's statement to imply the contrary, going as far as claiming Scientology considers that gays should be exterminated in concentration camps.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

"Oh Yeah? What do you call what you are going through RIGHT NOW?".

That may have been the funniest thing I've ever heard Lewis Black say.

Tom Cruise : Scientology :: Howard Dean : the Democratic party.

This is either immensely flattering to Scientology, or immensely insulting to the Democratic party. Either way, I'm not loving it.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Isn't it more a slam at Dean? There don't have to be parallels between the organisations, but more in the cited person's relationship to them.

OK, here's a question: Where did Hubbard get all his information? Was it divinely inspired? Told to him by angels? Presented to him on gold tablets? Because I don't see how someone could just claim to "know" all that stuff....

Thanks.

The more I read about Scientology, the more my mind boggles... I just can't understand how people can believe this....

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

I thought the analogy was clever, since I took it to mean that Dean's role is to raise money and the party profile. To in some ways act as the public face of the party.
