Watch "The Master" with PS Hoffman


Loosely based on Scientology but pretty much the same methodologies.

If you read Going Clear: Scientology, Hollywood, & the Prison of Belief by Lawrence Wright (awesome book btw)......at least what was going on in the movie was really taken from when Hubbard went to sea. Was a long time ago, but very apparent that is what the movie is based on.

Jeremy Blake is known for the colorful swirling artwork on Beck's Sea Change album cover and in Paul Thomas Anderson's movie, Punch-Drunk Love.
Then later PTA made The Master, which was sorta inspired by Scientology.
Later the star of The Master, Philip Seymour Hoffman died.

Then I started watching this show and started seeing stuff that they do and I started thinking about this stuff again.
I wonder if PTA and PSH were followed by PI's and stuff?
The next film PTA did was Inherent Vice - about private investigators.
I was looking up stuff today and then noticed it was the 3 year anniversary of PSH's death. =(

I don't remember if anyone involved with The Master spoke on being followed or harassed.

*copied and pasted from the Jeremy Blake thread, but it fits with The Master theme*
