They're probably upset that this thinly veiled allegory of their beliefs is coming to movie houses across America.

I guess it sucks to be a Scientologist these days.

1. I'm weirdly fascinated by the whole bizarre cultish (gossipy) thing. . . .

The Vanity Fair article was really interesting.
Not proud of it, but I do enjoy the occasional exposé of tawdry goings-on!
So I'm glad they weren't able to squelch the movie.

8. Should be interesting

I wonder if Tom Cruise will ever talk to his Mission Impossible cast mate Hoffman again?

9. I would guess it sucks to be a Scientologist any day.

Wearing those jump suits, doing the gardening at the Hubbard estate, and knowing you're possessed by evil alien souls, but can't afford treatment.

Ask yourself, "Why oh why didn't I decide to worship the teapot? The Sky Kingdom are such nice people."
